Not at all. Cox had outstanding foot skills for a big man but he was slow and lumbering compared to Jackson.

Having been lucky to watch many TI games I think the comparison is spot on. He was a unicorn to.

Harsh on Luke McPharlin
Cox didn’t have the contested work or spread from contest Jackson has. Not close.

Yeah, both mobile but mobile in different ways and strangely different players
Probably, big fan of both Luke's, but Jackson's upside is next level

He will move from dominating forward or roaming to bossing the contests.
People underestimate just how much Darcy and Jackson will benefit each other as other ruck tandems won't be able to go with them.
I honestly think McPharlin is the most underrated player in Freo history. Was one of the best KPDs in one of the worst teams for close to a decade - that doesn’t often happen.
Having said that I reckon if someone was going to dig up that post in ten years there’s a very good chance he/she is right.
Always reminds me of how Mooney said he was the hardest KPD to play on.

I'd argue he's our most important player right now, has the ability to turn the game on its head in an instance, the man is only 22 years old (same age as me Jesus what am I doing with my life) and already looks to be close to "best ruckman in the competition" material.
We got him cheap.

Barry Hall said this as well from memory. He's definitely in our top 5 of all time.
He's behind Kepler Bradley at the moment, but should catch up to him by the end of his career.

I look forward to all of the uneducated takes from AFL fans during the week about how we're better with just Jackson instead of having Darcy alongside him.
It's amusing, people don't have a clue, none of them.
