Buckley spoke to Cox as soon as he entered the rooms after the game and it was obvious the coach was ecstatic with the big man's performance. He also said in the press conference it was the best 5 possession game he'd ever seen, or words to that effect anyway. The ineffectiveness of Adelaide's big forwards further highlighted the value of Cox's role in our forward line.
Cox had a really bad first game of the season and would have been all too well aware of his sinking reputation among supporters. Now that he has put that performance firmly behind him, it's hard to believe that posters are still saying he will never make an AFL player. He was good and Grundy was brilliant against Adelaide, and we seem to have a combination of ruck/forwards that works. Cox will have his off games, but he is a smart guy with great physical attributes. I am more than happy he is on our list and staying there for at least 3 more years.

Why do I have a terrible feeling in deja vu here?
All true but theres only so many five possession games a player can get away with. Again it was slippery conditions like it was i round one so its good to see he has adapted to the conditions. In fact he adapted magnificently.
But his job remains and it will always remain, to take contested marks and kick goals. Hes only taken marks against lowly Carlton so far, and hasnt kicked a goal so far this season. So he still has a long way to go.

Because you are a pessimist?

I fart in your general direction.
I said that once to a group of Carlton supporters. They had no idea what it meant.

This one was completely unscripted. Made up on the spot like they were playing theatre sports.
This is so meta it is triggering that feeling of being trapped in a semiotics seminar on a warm spring day

Now that you mention Cartoon, I'll tell you a fabulously funny, but very true story.....
So my best man and best mate of over 40 years has a major handicap, being a Carlton supporter.
"How could you possibly have such a person as a mate let alone a best man!" I hear you think?
Well he is a Carlton supporter because he is a NSWelshman and associated Carton with the brewery not the VFL team (in the day).
In any case we both boarded a jet aircraft to Melbourne and the MCG to watch the mighty Magpies slaughter his hapless beer manufacturers.
His son, being under age and unable to choose a more sensible team had asked if Dad could grab him a Carltank jumper from the club while he was in the berg and being a good Dad he agreed. Together we set off from The Mantra on Jolimont the day before the big game to the steaming cesspit which is Princess Park.
Cartoon were in the middle of renovating the excuse they have for a club house at the time so they had what equated to a shipping containing selling their merch. Long story short they want a grey nurse + for a crappy looking training jersey so the best man passed on the club merch.
Not wanting to waste a massive walk from the city to the cesspit we decided to enter and witness training.
To my surprise there were probably 5,000 die-hard idiots in attendance, most to see if their ill-gotten new Captain (beaker) was fit to run after a string of shitty performances.
In the middle of this very earnest and anticipatory atmosphere my wife decided to ring me to check I had avoided the pubs and brothels and was on my best behaviour....
I am little deaf after a lifetime in the building industry so I have my ring tone......very loud.
Not surprisingly, being a lifer, my ringtone is "Good ol" Collingwood for ever!"
I don't think I have ever seen so many heads nearly twist off their necks in my life.
The line of ambulances was epic.

careful. I once used that line on a poster as a joke and got a series of threatening pms about what he would do to me if I insulted him like that again.
I don't think he was a monty python fan somehow.
Reality check people.
We were putrid against Hawks.
Ok for patches against GWS
Mostly poor against a putrid Carlton
Played well against a very down Adelaide side
Reading some of these recent posts and one would think we're top of the ladder and flying.
One solid game out of 4....
This week is our real test. Do we back up or fold?

This week is always our real test.
What a crock of s**t.
We were very good against GWS, but were undermanned for most of the game due to injuries. We beat the Blues easily, they had a few junk time goals that made the score look better. And we dominated Adelaide.
Sure we need to get better each week, but I don't think anyone needs a reality check.
