Good to see him in among the physical stuff.

 

[Rick Ross]

is he................... back?

Nahhh, played mostly on the wing.

Does some pretty clever things - like that quick grubber kick that I think Goldstein fumbled that would have resulted in a shot on goal if handled cleanly. In his first season was pretty creative. Has taken some telling marks in his career in the middle of the ground/wing. Continues on that and it makes us a far different scenario to face.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Building in confidence week by week, really enjoying his progress.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

The last 2 games he's been a bit stronger and more competitive, playing a bit smarter. Good to see, hopefully this is his new baseline.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

He'll be fine. Doing all the rights things.

39 games, 22 years old. The unicorn is starting to run after struggling to walk early days

 

[fairbump_playon]

is he................... back?

No he’s only back after the midweek footy shows say he’s back. He might have to kick a goal or something.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Had my concerns a few weeks ago but he has this uncanny knack to get the job done whilst looking totally uncoordinated in doing so.

I'd love for him to float forward and slot a major in the next few weeks, just to really boost his confidence up higher.

Dustin Fletcher style torp on Anzac Day. Does he have it in him?

Just in time for him to pull out another Anzac Day Sidebottom tackle

Big indication of where Nik is at. Pressure, intensity, high stakes

If he brings some intent, could we see the making of the unicorn in front of us?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

He could be the worst exponent of the handball in AFL history.

He could be the worst exponent of the handball in AFL history.

Pressure is being the intended target of a Nik Cox handball.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Hopefully that leg isn't too bad and we get to see him again later in the season

 

[nipst@r]

Playing the wing role really well. Getting up and back and proving a good kick out marking option.

Hopefully injuries is just a corkie. Any news yet?

Needs to work on handball. Few clangers by hand today.

Impressed with his effort after thinking he'd struggle to ever make it 3 weeks ago. Wing a much better role for him.

 

[fairbump_playon]

His handball is actually quite improved this season believe it or not. Was historically terrible previously

Anyhow, you can see where he is heading as a player and I reckon he will get there… in about 4 years

Felt the pressure a couple of times .
