AFL Player #13: Nik Cox 🦄 - Skipper called him 'the Unicorn' in an interview (confirmed!)

[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 6, Rick Ross

So half his first ever AFL match payment haha (assuming match payments for first choice draftees weren't cut for this year, should be 4k under the rules I was just looking at..)

If i was the leadership group, I'd be putting in to pay the fine for him and tell him to keep up the physicality.

A lot of clubs pool the fines so everyone chips in to pay them. Not sure if we do that though

Which part of our culture of self interested front runners makes you think they’d do that

(Not entirely serious, the young guys do seem pretty tight)

Francis perfect legal hip and shoulder on Omeara in 2018 should've been paid for by the boys. Beautiful piece of vision. Christian doesn't even try and hide his bias when it comes to Essendon.

Could not believe what i was hearing from commentators suggesting Cox was in trouble for that. Ok with a fine for it as it was a sloppy attempt but was never a suspension.

That was a suspension from memory

No, it was a fine. I remember it annoying me as it was a perfect hip and shoulder.

 

[rumply]

$2k? Result.

My avatar - great bump!

Maybe Francis just needs to lay someone out to kickstart his season

Now also immortalised in gif form on the top of every page of his player thread. Watch it over and over and over and over and over and over

Don't want to be too reactive but not sure we're helping him too much by playing him on the wing.

 

[naraku]

I see some flashes from Nik that indicates he could be a good player, just not on the wing.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Looks great. Let him develop.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

I really liked his chase of Motlop on the wing which ultimately led to Motlop rushing his kick just enough to lead to a turnover.

He won't have the strength to play as a KPP and if we are playing the 3 talls as it is, then not a huge amount of choice. Just keep playing the kid.

Enjoy the campaigner in him. Bodes well when it all comes together

Also bodes well for when he’s 100kg lining up on blokes 20cm shorter than him.

I know there was no u18s comp last year and that recruiters watch the players for years and know more than me, but how the * was this kid available at pick 8?

 

[Bjchan13]

Great game

 

[Vindicater]

Bloody good...

Needs tattoos

 

[Vander18]

Just scratching the surface. Hasn’t really unleashed his running power and isn’t really going after the ball the air yet. It’s very pleasing how physical he is prepared to be so early in his career - puts his head over the footy when he needs to.

His ceiling is ridiculous.

 

[Donakebab]

Needs tattoos

No he doesn't.

 

[Highly Evolved]

Will be such a different player with a little bit of mass. He's already so good, but gets bullied off the ball just because he's so light.
