Shannon Cox

[3rd Grade Maggy]

Impressive. Really important today in a number of places. I can't fathom how Adelaide let him come over the top in the ruck about 4 times in the 3rd quarter. Two of them led directly to goals. Hardness at the footy, clever player. Never noticed him before. Finals make players - he looks a keeper for your lot.

He could always play, just not in defence where we kept playing him. If he keeps getting opportunities on the wing, he'll be a very good player for us. Turned up to pre-season overweight last year, hopefully he takes the bit between the teeth and has a stellar pre-season this time around, makes for an exciting 2009 for him... not to mention next week.

This has been the one thing lacking from his game, but today he certainly did show some hardness. He's one of the more talented players on our list, so if he can keep working hard he'll be a gun.

Well done Coxy your finally showing a lot of people what your made of!
Ive loved this kid for a while now and hes proved that all talented young boys need is game time to grow in confidence and stature, it does take time and you cant expect results overnight.
A lot of posts about this kid being delisted next year as of the past few weeks on here and for me the silence is music to my ears!
Well Done son you should be proud of yourself.

I am sure the kid does train hard, if not MM and the senior players would let him know,
No where to hide these days in AFL, Dont pull you weight u end up like Egan.

Cox was an underage ruckman. He is now too small to do that at AFL but still has the instincts of a follower. That third quarter showed he is still a very creative follower and a great 3rd up tap ruck too.

His 3rd man up knock ons weren't only just effective they were actually really accurate and clever usually when we do it it's blindly done and it doesn't pay off.

Ben Kinnear was an absolute dud. Comparisons with Cox are ridiculous!!!!

He's been great since getting recalled.

Absolutely Jabso. Rarely do you see a the third man up actually hit a target, but Cox did it brilliantly twice. The second one led to a great goal by DT. I thought Cox was a little quiet overall but he did 3 great things today that produced 3 goals(had Marty Clarke kicked that goal, it would have been 4), so had a real impact.

It's all up to him now. Been given an opportunity to use his talents and show he can have an impact at the highest level. Has the skill and composure, a big preseason may be what he needs to take his game to the next level.

i have the feeling he will packaged in a deal for Kerr
