Recommitted Brennan Cox [OOC 2022]

[philthy05]

Although I can’t see him leaving, clubs like the Doggies, GWS, Essendon, Norf would surely all be circling. Can’t see it being a priority for either Adelaide or Port.

Key forward is absolutely a priority for port Adelaide

Westhoff is much better suited to playing up the ground and will be 33 next year

Dixon will be 29 next season

Marshall is a up and coming star

We need to partner some forwards with Marshall going forward.

Whether cox is the right player depends on a few factors. Luko would and should be our number 1 recruiting priority and we need to make sure we have the currency in hand to manufacture a trade if he ever decides to ask for one.

Interesting.

Crows are sitting on Carlton's 1st rounder this year which would make it difficult for you to get a persuasive auction going if it came to that this year.

The draft crop is that bad this year?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Fact is he’s contracted so freo would only let him go if they got overs in return

Exactly. Take a look at his achievements against Curnow for some perspective too.

 

[Apex36]

What’s his value? I’d love Collingwood to take a crack at him.

 

[MatFinish]

I dont reckon Freo would entertain a trade. They've struggled with lack of key fwds for a few generations. They've now got great starters and a solid back up/developing player. I'd be surprised if give that up.

 

[freo_leo29]

I would keep him simply to keep Luke Ryan, those two are inseparable.

Cox is good too though

I agree. He might want out for more gametime though.

 

[MatFinish]

I agree. He might want out for more gametime though.

Yeah but he's still a young bloke and if he can learn from Hogan, Lobb, Hamling and Pearce it's a pretty decent apprenticeship. I think that'd be valuable.

Yeah just got dropped

Really, can we have both then please?

 

[freo_leo29]

Technically they come as a trio with Taylin Duman

I don't want to lose any of them

 

[masai]

Yeah just got dropped

Was under done last week, had only one game at WAFL level, after returning from injury.

Only came into the side last week at the last moment, Cam coming down ill.

Will get better as the season goes along.

To get him you'd need to offer;

• a decent salary. Wouldn't need to be over the top because he is young, but Fremantle will offer a decent contract.
• a medium/long deal 3-5 years
• a best 22 spot. Right now he is fringe, sloping towards best 22. You only give that up for better prospects.

After that, his trade value would be an interesting topic. Fremantle would only consider a best 22 player imo. The players they would certainly be asking questions about are Kelly, Coniglio and Martin. There is no deal there, but perhaps there could be the a start of a deal. Likely needs third parties involved. His pick value, maybe 15-25. Hard to measure. He has production, but it is still more about potential.

If You start asking questions about kelly/cogs they will start asking questions about Fyfe/hogan...

Care level LOW. Questions get asked about all players.

By the way, how good is that Hogan trade looking right now?

I dont think we're really hunting talls hard right now. Finlayson has morphed into a forward well and Corr is back this week. Connor Idun is on fire in the NEAFL and well ahead of expectations. Depends a bit on how Patton's rehab goes, and we'll know more as the year progresses.

That said we might be less reluctant to trade for players as the salary cap situation improves and he's a good prospect, if we are forced into a trade.

No, as I said there are not easy deals there, and don't see him as a fit for you. I think there is a strong possibility you guys match a bid for Coniglio and force a trade, which would mean a club coughing up multiple draft picks.

Just to be clear, I am in the "keep Cox unless he requests a trade" basket. And I also don't want us to seel the farm for any of those 3 players, including potential salary. Fremantle should be opportunistic if a trade opens up, but also happy to grow our own. We have a good structure to the side now.

That's pretty much as I saw it. I do think you have a good structure, but your forward line has a couple if new talls to fit in. The future if individuals might be a bit clearer at the end of the season maybe?

Cox can play either end which is a significant factor to retaining him. I think he is a little slow for a KPD, but that versatility is great to have on the list. Also from his stats as a KPF he is looking like he has elite potential. That is where his trade value lies. I think he is pretty happy at the club, as most of our players seem to be. A club would need to be enticing both him and the club to get him.

 

[Bastyy]

His value is about Pick 85 at the moment, Zac Clarke level

 

[Ysaye]

Sorry to derail the thread, but is he gettable? His name has come up on the Bulldogs board as a potential trade target.

I reckon there is the potential he is gettable but things that I think should be taken into consideration:

(1) It seems Luke Ryan is a best buddy (To the point of them both even bleaching/dying their hair at the same time, and also getting suspended for drinking at the same time as well) and Luke Ryan is probably in the top 5 for this season for us.
(2) Likes playing forward, was drafted as a backman. Is competing with (when all fit) Taberner, McCarthy, Lobb (if Darcy or Sandilands are back in the ruck), Dixon, Meek and O'Reilly for a second forward / backup ruck position behind Hogan. I think if they were all fit he would be slightly behind Taberner. He is however one of the few of those that can play back.
(3) Some have argued that we are light on tall backs, with only Pearce, Hamling and Logue as the really large options.

 

[Cleric]

Any more talk about if Cox is still looking to move?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Nothing more from WA.

Like others have said, Cox, Ryan and Duman are inseperable.
