I don't expect anything to come from the Cox rumour. This has been an annual thing for like the last 3 years now and he's never indicated any real desire to leave Freo.
Bit like the “Parker to crows” rumour that went on every year for how long..

He's kicked far more quality snap goals making something from nothing, than he has Joe the goose goals sitting in the square.

100%, the degree of difficulty of most of Newchurch's goals is very high. Alot of fiction being posted

Yep..

The commentary on Newchurch’s goals being easy “cheapies” is just laughable..

Barely any of his goals are cheapies.

In fact the biggest Joe the goose goal kicker in our SANFL side is our other small forward Matty Wright and the irony of it all is a shitload of matty wrights joe the goose goal opportunties this season have been directly off the back of Newchurch’s hard work.

Newchurch has unselfishly dished many of them straight into Matty’s lap even when Tariak himself probably couldve gone ahead and kicked them himself.

Hes a very unselfish player..
 
In pre-trade season the following logic applies.

What do the Crows really need?
Answer - a Key Defender

Are there any South Australian Key Defenders playing for interstate teams?

Answer - Brennan Cox

Rumour - The Crows are chasing Brennan Cox

Yep. And when Murphy went back to the SANFL Newchurch kicked 4 goals himself, handed a few off including 2 directly to Murphy himself.

Naturally Murphy got the call up.. for.. reasons.
 
What's the consensus? Is Rankine worth our first? Personally I'm not sold. Rather risk it with Phillipou and try to walk Rankine to the PSD hoping our front loaded contract puts west coast north and whoever else finishes below us off.
 
What is Brennan cox and does it football well? Aside from Fyfe, Walters & Aish, I couldn’t name any other Freo player.
Is Clive Waterhouse still kicking goals for them....

If (yes if) we win our last two and Port drops to Essendon this week we could end up with pick 7. PSD threat becomes nothing as Port would likely put their hand in the pie (and rightfully so SA team if Rankine is keen to get home).

Parting with Pick 7 (turning to 8 at least) I wouldn't be to upset about it's about right and both teams will say it's either not enough or to much but it really is just about right. If we had 3/4 I feel like there would have been a bit more to gain from that pick.

Next year's first is always in play too. Sell it to GC and hope we have a better year finishing 8-12 and they end up with pick 10ish next year. Lots would argue we'd need it for JHF which maybe the case may need to get creative a long the way with a few things.
 
So replaces Worrell?

What we’ve seen from Worrell needs to be developed, good defending, good mark, can intercept and seems pretty poised. I think we’d be mad jumping at more defenders for next year, worry about it in a years time if either of Butts, Murray and Worrell don’t come on.
 
Can anyone explain what type of player Cox is?

Is he Butts type - lock down big?
Is he Murray type - suited to 2nd tall, more mobile forwards?
Is he Doedee type - intercept, 3rd tall?

I'm trying to figure out where he would fit.
Imagine John Klug as a defender. Sneaky big. Hands like a vice. Subtle use of the body. And looks like he should be ungainly but actually has good touch skills.

He will cost our first. Maybe we try get theirs back and add additional picks to balance but GC will want the world. At least if he is actually coming we can turn off the "tank" switch and enjoy the coming last two wins of the year.

Preference is to use our first from next year for Rankine and then still use our first this year on the best mid available.
