He was poor again on Friday. They need to send him back to the VFL and see if he can find form. He doesn’t present and he kills space in the forward line. He struggled to have an influence and didn’t start taking a few grabs until Marchbank was injured and the game was done

That was Reid on marchbank btw

4 contested marks might be the most for the round

Kills space your kidding , creates it by demanding 2 on 1s or even 3 on 1s

Doesn't say much for all those so called superstar kids bought up on the game

Doesn't present hey, well he took one in the dukes at full pace, miss that one

Or did you see him rag doll the pick 1 twice , who by the ways on more coin than mason

Lol. Where do I start, Marchbank is there best defender so when he goes down the 2nd best in Jones went to Reid and Weitering went to Cox.

He absolutely kills the space because he stands in the hole not presenting. He lead about 4-5 times the rest of the game he stood there looking lost.

He is in his physical prime and even if he does make it he is 4-5 years off being any good

He rag dolled him because he insipidity gave up front position and then was forced to offend

Sorry
He's on 400
Average is 378

Cost us nothing in trade balue and no kpf hits the ground running straight up

That's allot for what I'd consider a below average player atm.

Either way he's not free.
 
Sounds like and feels like a knee jerk reaction

I game when no one let alone a inexperienced beginner took grabs with a slippery ball
Got to take those marks uncontested as the link-up, exit strategy... whatever you want to call it from the backline to the wing. Drop those and it usually costs you a goal, because your teammates are expecting you to hold it, and they have spread 5-10m on their opponents towards goal.

Cox is doing a hell of a lot more than Chris Mayne is! Go on, Change my mind. Until you do, Cox is a cheap investment to give Grundy a rest during games, a cheap forward that key defenders have to care about due to his sheer size, and a cheap way to bring the ball to the ground for our small forwards in a contest. Good value for money in my opinion.

Between him and Mayne that’s 900k a year we could spend on elite talent but we have got two list cloggers

Set your benchmarks
How many marks per game
How many hit outs ect ect

4 contested Friday
You're still whining

Probably should also throw in ‘amount of contests made’. Against GWS we saw the issue when we weren’t able to make a marking contest in the forward line.

You have $900k of your own money to invest.

Option a) a one bedroom apartment in a poor location that probably should have been condemned 18 months ago and a 2 bedroom house that is getting on in age that needs a lot of work and is in an ok location.

Option b) an established property in a good location that needs no further work.

Which do you choose?

IMO, looking at the value to acquire either house is madness when you should be considering the future value they provide...

Clearly option a) if I’m renting the properties out!

How predictable!

A 1 bed apartment in a shit location is getting you $150-200 a week absolute tops and a 2 bedder in an ok location that needs a shitload of work is getting you $300-350 max. The good house in a good location is pulling in $500 a week on its ear. You then have the capital growth.

This board makes me sick in the gut these days!

Hang on a sec, you didn’t say how many bedrooms option b) has. How do you expect people to make an informed decision without all the details?

I'll wait untl the property bubble bursts

Would have been 5 contested marks except he had one disallowed when they paid a free to Reid instead.

I think that is really unfair. Cox showed in his 3 games at the end of last year, that he has what it takes to be a very good AFL ruckman. Smashed Zac Smith, broke even with Ryder, and sharing 50:50 duties with Grundy beat Gawn. He is a very good tap ruckman with a big leap to go with his height, and very nice placement with those tap outs. Takes marks around the ground quite well, and is very good at sneaking forward to kick goals. He really should have gone to Brisbane to be the no 1 ruck... Very confident in Cox the ruckman

Cox the KPF is another kettle of fish. For me his ceiling there would be a useful foil to a gun KPF (and it is 50:50 he he get there). Unfortunately we haven't got this gun KPF. I doubt he is good enough to be no 1 KPF, thought it looks as though we are building the forward line around him..

Still my point remains, it is not fair or accurate to describe our no 2 ruckman, and someone with genuine rucking talent as a list clogger

He is a list clogger, being a good ruckman has a lot more to do than just tapping a ball. He gets exposed around the ground and has little to no defensive side to his game. It’s a joke that he gets 400k a year. Look at ANZAC day Dannier May of only got 1 hit out against him but he tore him to sheads.

Those two run down places can you give me the block dimensions, unit prices in the area and an insight on how many units you could fit on each block?
 
How is any of that wrong we could have an elite tall forward at 900k a year of Mayne and Cox. Two list cloggers, just highlights our poor list management

You ignore fact you have to get an elite tall forward. That costs first round picks.

Also Cox is contracted. Don’t doubt he will have reasonable trade value if on the market. There was and would be interest from others.
