It was easy to forget how good he was. Watching some of the old match replays posted in the last few weeks gave me a chance to see him at his prime again.

Excellent choice

 

[Carbine Chaos]

One of the best to have ever pulled on the jumper. Onya, Coxy.

So for those with no idea what's going on, I referred to Coxy's 'excitement levels' in the pic above, which was deleted and now reinstated.

Anyways, well done Dean of Dampier.

Not bad for a skinny kid who could barely run 20m, from the rookie list to the Hall of Fame.

Gives me hope. I think I could have a similar rise.
I dream that I too one day will be able to run 20m.

I had to run for a bus this afternoon and my heart rate afterwards made me realise that all the conditioning I'd done during the summer and early autumn was now lost. So basically, I too am signing up to the Dean Cox School of Athletic Improvement.

Yeah all the hard work I got out of those 2 footy training sessions has been undone. I’m spewing.

I come in peace.

Just wanted to congratulate the big Cox, easily one of the best ruckman of all time and a bloody thorn in our side for years.

A wonderful footballer and a deserved recipient.

His game vs North in Hobart was honestly one of the best games of any big man in the modern era. Was absolutely everywhere.

Well deserved selection, not likely to be challenged by too many people.

Cox, Glendinning, Kemp, Jakovich, Peter Matera, McKenna. Who is next? Glass? I think Judd is eligible next year. Cousins will get the Gary Ablett Sr treatment if he gets in at all. Worsfold is eligible as a player but not for as a coach. I reckon he'll get in soon after he finishes up at Essendon.

 

[ashley12]

Wirra?

 

[larrikin]

Well deserved. Would've been a pretty much automatic selection.

 

[DanWCE]

Some great little stories being shared on Nics Instagram post.

Congrats Coxy!

I was surprised by the timing but stoked
Congratulations to Cox - well deserved

Game vs North in Tazzy 2012, went into god mode. 21D, 15M, 24HO, 3G, 215SC

Game vs Bulldogs at Etihad 2011, took two clutch marks at either end of the ground and kicked the winning goal. 27D, 13M, 37HO, 1G, 213SC





Naitanui by comparison has never taken more than 6 marks in a game. Shows how much of a work horse big Dean was getting around the ground.

This play is brilliance

Kicked 3 in that North game didn't he? One of the best games I've ever seen someone play & Priddis still got the medal.

 

[Dark Sharks]

^ Actually, you are correct

 

[SloppyJoe]

In Tassie too, of all places.

Congrats to the big fella, well deserved.

Brennan knocked out Goldstein in that match.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Absolute legend! Was the prototype for the modern ruckman.
