The official Cox replacement thread

[Skystyler]

I am aiming for league glory and am looking at bringing in either Jolly or Clarke. Has anyone else in the same situation considered GF round 22 and that Swans are playing Lions. These two met in round 3 where Jolly scored 131 to Clarke's 45 (in a Lions win).

Assuming you make it as far as the GF, would you back Jolly to come out on top again, or has Clarke improved that much?

Jolly makes a living out of dominating part-time ruckmen. Clark has improved but at the SCG I would rather have Jolly than Clark for that game.

As much as I hate to admit it, he's right. Clark struggled against two big bodied ruckmen against Port (Brogan and Lade) because he couldn't just leap over them and they were good enough to tap to advantage so he couldn't rove the tap like he normally does (which keeps his scores high). Against Jolly he is likely to have similar issues.

Clark is wonderfully athletic around the ground, but will get rag-dolled by Jolly in the ruck. There are only about 6 guys that DON'T get rag-dolled by Jolly.

Allegedly, though I've been trying to find a source in the media without luck. Anyway the previous comments were made pre-Saturday night.

Could the Big Cox play again this year now that WC are out of the race for a priority pick?

I don't know why everyone is claiming Jolly ripped his hammy.

He went off the ground with hamstring tightness and after getting it rubbed he came back on the ground and played the rest of the game.

Additionally, there was no mention of his injury in the AFL's match report.

I would be worried about anyone who only scored 24.

Im thinking of taking a punt on petrie - cracked the ton, good value, has melbourne and west coast during finals...

Does anyone know if Cox will be back at all this year?

$548,000 is a lot of money to have sitting on the bench.

Seriously doubt it.
