AFL Player #13: Nik Cox - Subbed out vs GCS

[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 6, Rick Ross

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Still think he can be the best of the 3 top 10 2020 picks, not many players will be able to match up on a fully filled out Cox when he's 24-32 years old

Fully filled = fully erect?

 

[EnolaGay]

He's shown intent and aggression this year, playing really well.

I agree, he’s going in hard now regularly, nearly no softness

As I age, I'm hoping I'll still be able to go in hard with a bit of softness.

Hard Cox is a good Cox

 

[Rick Ross]

This is why Cox should never be dropped - who would we make innuendo comments about?

Laverde*?
Just not the same. Or very funny. Or even remotely funny.



* It’s a slow burn … think that Seinfeld episode… "The Junior Mints" Jerry is going out with a girl whose name he can't remember, who tells him that it rhymes with a part of the female anatomy.

I feel like some people don't appear their actual heights.

Nik Cox is one of the smaller looking 200cm players I've seen. Maybe it's the posture.

He’s certainly not broad at the shoulders (yet), is a bit Todd Marshall in frame

He's a good player this kid. I haven't had a favourite player since Jimmy but Cox and Caddy I'm excited about

Agree - understated X factor (Cox) and bleached blond X factor (Caddy).

 

[Laverdeee]

still unsure of this best position longer term, would love for him to be our backup ruck option so we don't need to play 2 rucks

I think this is the dream.
Probably needs a couple more years of upper body work to survive as second ruck.

For his development, would love to see him man up Blicavs for this weekend’s game. See what it takes to contribute at that level.

 

[BomberTime]

Nothing amazing. However had another few moments.

I also liked him in the ruck when he was in there, thought he was better than Wright in there.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

I liked him tonight. It was one of the better 11 touch, 6 hit out games you can have.

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

He didn't look half bad pinch hitting in the ruck!

 

[bommer16]

Hidden gems with nik

 

[Blind Turn]

Cox is doing the right things in the right moments. If he can develop his game to be more involved he will become the player we hoped he’d be.

 

[MiguelM]

There were a couple of moments where his moves had me thinking "wow"

 

[VelvetSledge]

He has a few moments every week which make me say both "Oh no", and "Oh yes"

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Having a very handy season but I wince every time he gives a "too casual" handball to someone's feet, still thinking of the one against saints to goldy in the goldsquare. Handball with more intent Nik!

 

[ghostdog]

When he first rucked I was glad it wasn't Wright, then I thought he'd be well beaten, then I thought Coxy's future role could be becoming clearer. And now I think he was quite good and should learn that role more. Bravo Brad and well-played Coxy.

Yep, agree, showing real appetite for the contest which is great to see

I love his little dinky kicks in the heat of the contest, even though he looks like a baby giraffe trying to take its first steps. He ends up releasing a player into space and away we go.

How funny was his little one, I think it was the last quarter out on the wing. He literally kicked it like 2 meters - and it somehow worked
