im gonna look real silly when they announce its Lachie Sholl

Yep, you officially look silly.

 

[rumply]

Well that sucks, just going to have to do better this week

 

[ILikeCheese]

Sholls stats look pretty impressive

 

[Megabattimus]

Scholl definitely deserved it. He absolutely torched North on Sunday.

Cox will definitely get one eventually!

This being the key qualifier. Cox's stats weren't as impressive, but he did do it against the equal top team.

Only a matter of time, hopefully another good performance this week will get him across the line.

 

[Ati Tude]

He did win Rising Unicorn of the Week for the 4th week in a row though

Ya reckon if he sprouts wings they might notice him?

As a positive, I had a Fantasia guernsey that I was certain I wouldn’t wear again for a while.

Well, that number 13 has become more and more valuable!

 

[The Devils Advocate]

I love Cox

New Essendon merchandise idea?

 

[Ati Tude]

Sounds like a Tool song.

 

[fairbump_playon]

Haven't you seen the press regarding him, i feel for the kid next buddy, next generational forward

He hasn't played a game and they are talking him up like he Buddy mixed with Farmer

Yeah but what if he is... then he wouldn't be over-hyped

 

[Howard Moon]

I can't believe Mundy hasnt got a RS nom yet this year... Cox up against it already

Not that you are alone, thought he was a shoe in.

If I was a writer for the HUN, I would interview Cale and ask how he likes playing alongside Nik. Regardless of anything else he said, my headline would be "HOOKER LOVES COX".

I like "HOOKER NEEDS COX"

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Hooker profits from Cox's presence.

 

[Don Won]

Maybe if we can get them all out now, and pin them in a sticky somewhere?

 

[Old Campaigner]

Cox digs deep in back pocket

 

[Shane Heard]

that windmill handpass to Smith on the wing ...noice

He reminds me of a young Scotty Lucas with his hands of glue and the glorious left foot. except he has genuine pace and more agility than the great SL

Good times ahead

Only those of us between about 34 and 42. It’s a niche reference

You just know someone down the track will make a short animated film with Coxy mumbling that line.

Not sure who his co-star will be though.

Maybe a solo Coxy roaming the earth causing havoc might suffice.

 

[Howard Moon]

outside of all the freak show stuff with the running and the two sideness, he actually has a fair bit of mongrel for a stick figure - he was routinely tackling big Joe to the ground, tackling other big blokes like hickey ect to the turf like it was nothing

he might actually be the complete package of skill, athleticism and aggression in one package. We hit the jackpot
