Cox seems to be a player who needs a big occasion or something else to really have a dip. he has performed at his best in really big games (finals, Anzac Day) but has been moderate in less pressured games. He notably lifted after his lousy pass this week, when he clearly felt he had something to prove or make up for. The shrink coach at Collingwood needs to be onto this.
This so many times over. Cox always has good games against Richmond, (He’s kicked 11 goals against the tigers, lifetime) and against Essendon on Anzac day.
It is interesting to me his production in terms of scoring is way up from last year. Through his first 4 games of 2018 he had 2 goals 2 behinds. Through the same in 2019 he has 5 goals 5 behinds. And yet we seek more from him constantly; it seems like he has improved a bit.
