If you read my actual post it is asking if Cogs is really worth what people are saying he is. People saying he is a top 10 mid just have rose coloured glasses on.
I even admitted that $500k for Greenwood was being on the generous side.
This entire board is full of the same people saying the same crap over and over again and then coming down on anyone that comes in with a different opinion. The boys club.
‘5x the player’ ... please. He’s better but you have completely missed my point and thrown in a ridiculous exaggeration of someone’s capabilities.
He is most certainly a top 10 midfielder. He averaged:
28.5 possessions
4.57 marks
4.28 tackles
1.14 goals (16/6 - he takes his chances)
And keep in mind that he played with a broken finger during the season, which obviously hampered him.
He runs both ways. He's a goal kicker and can kick multiples in a game. He can play inside, outside and out of the square or on a flank. In terms of the intangibles he's considered a leader of his current club and has been from a young age. He's a young, intelligent and considered individual and these are exactly the kinds of players you want around your club. They are great role models on and off the field and are culture setters.
The only midfielders you can say are better with any sort of confidence are: Danger, Fyfe, Cripps and J Kelly. The Martin of this season hasn't been better.
