This post provokes a horrible thought: We'd be in big trouble if Cooper was to go down with an injury this season (touch wood). With Rees becoming even more of a prisoner of gravity as the years roll on I have less confidence in him being able to match it with the bigs in the league. Imagine Rees and Dusty trying to handle Bradtke & Brannon; Rogers & Burston; Melmeth, Hinder & Cullen or Anstey, Hoare & Stiff. Bit of a scary thought. I hope we would be able to handle it.
I didn't realise when we picked up Cooper last year just how much we'd be reliant on him for defence in the paint. He's certainly surprised on the upside. Good pick Phil.
