AFL is one of the most immature sports in the world. Even our baby brother on the east coast can openly admit player x is leaving at end of season before season has started, be professional enough to do there best for the season and not be spiteful prick when they do leave.The afl are so far behind world sport in giving creditable injury updates to the public/ fans of said club.
We’ve got to keep the team secret til the last minute and make late changes. It’s sickening really. As a professional league, still such an immature mindset, along with media stuff. Players have to be robots at all time, not allowed a personality.AFL is one of the most immature sports in the world.

Oh opposition club can't have that 0.00001% advantage over us. its embarrassing
4-6 weeks away, and it's a back injury not a foot, according to the injury update graphic.

Yes, unless you read The AgeI thought it was always the back injury?
Pity it's wrong.
He could be anything, but they had him training in defence over the preseasonWonder which end of the ground we're thinking once he's back. With Baldwin in defence, could he play forward?
I know, but Baldwin was forward as well. Baldwin looks really good in defence so we might switch ends for him as wellHe could be anything, but they had him training in defence over the preseason

Third-year utility Nik Cox’s return to play from a back injury has been pushed back by two weeks as he continues to make steady progress through his rehab program.
McPherson said the Bombers will be extremely cautious with the 20-year-old’s recovery.
’Coxy’ has been doing an enormous amount of strength work in the gym to rehab is back, and despite this taking some time, he is coming along well. His most recent scans have shown gradual improvement, so we will continue with his strength work, and re-introduce him to running in the coming weeks ahead of his return to play later in the year.” McPherson said.
“We’ll continue to take a conservative approach with this injury to ensure we give him all the time he needs to heal properly.”

Something about him reminds me of hooker in the backline. He just seems to stand in the middle of packs and plucks out over head marks. I rate himI know, but Baldwin was forward as well. Baldwin looks really good in defence so we might switch ends for him as well
i can't even remember what he looks like.Something about him reminds me of hooker in the backline. He just seems to stand in the middle of packs and plucks out over head marks. I rate him
His kicking was what I noticed 1st, calm and able to make quick decisions.Something about him reminds me of hooker in the backline. He just seems to stand in the middle of packs and plucks out over head marks. I rate him
He has really good vision and as you say quick decisions. Good back man.His kicking was what I noticed 1st, calm and able to make quick decisions.
Is it too tall to play 3 KPDs from Zerk, Reid, Cox & Hayes?
And if Hayes/Zerk remain, then one of Reid/Cox link up with Wright/Jones forward.
That's 6 talls, plus a ruck in the side.....
He has a massive horn sticking out of his headi can't even remember what he looks like.

We always say this but reality says it most likely will not happen anyway. There will always be an injury or a form issue anyway. Cox is a bit of a different story as although he is 200cm he has decent pace, is good below the knees and a good engine so he plays more like a medium anyway.Is it too tall to play 3 KPDs from Zerk, Reid, Cox & Hayes?
