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

[Beerfish]

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

 

[yodellinhank]

Kelly is playing a different position to Reid.

Reid isn't playing.

 

[Crookshoulder]

A big game from Cox tonight will near cement a spot in the team, regardless of Reid & Rids coming back. Last week he was attacking, couragous, hard at it and won some good contests. Another big night and he'll be flush with confidence.

It's funny, even though I know he is 200cm, doesn't feel like he is playing as a second tall alongside McKay some of the time. I think because he is skinny and agile for his height. Feels more like a medium sized defender.

I'm not sure what he is

Are you thinking human? Bear? Alien? Or just really not sure?

 

[jdstorm]

Kelly is playing a different position to Reid.

Sure but you’d push Cox into one of those spots if you were keeping him in the team

I don't think anyone knows yet. Could be a unicorn if rumors are to be believed. But I don't believe in rumors, i just spread them.

Definitely not a key position defender.
Tall agile, good on both feet, good runner… not enough bulk for KPD. Has played forward flank, wing and this year more a back flank. My boy Is a genuine utility.

Cox is also playing a different position to Kelly.

Too ****ing soft piss off

Too ******* soft piss off

Yes, please do

Turn your monitor on

 

[SydneyBomber]

Has had a mare so far, just looks all at sea

 

[nipst@r]

I'll be shocked if makes it.
Just comes across as uncompetetive unfortunately.

Competitiveness is the #1 thing you need to look for in a young player.

Those that don’t have it can very rarely overcome it

 

[dank420_]

He’s kinda matched the rest of the team to be fair.

 

[DERO]

He is a worry.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

As much as it pains me to say, my hopes for him making it are waning.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Not worried in the slightest. Hes still two years off physically.

 

[Duckworth]

Today was a step back, after making some gains in the first couple of games. Needs to hit those targets coming out of defence.

Showing very little of the promise we all hoped he would turn into.

Looks slow and uncompetitive and his skills have gone backwards.

Maybe just reinventing himself as something different?

 

[nipst@r]

Is super soft but hear me out. A more positive take.

Is the back mix right to have him back there With Martin as well. Both really poor aerially, but i feel like we are at least trying to build into a poorman ridley role.

Was a time we let ridley get exposed 1 on 1 until he built that skill. Cox doesn't have the speed or foot skills but I can kinda see what they are trying to do. Physical and draft profile that was his go.

Think move Martin and hind out and move a durham/duursma or someone willing to come across hard and help out. Redman can do it and hide some team-mates flaws but is really down on form.

We also don't have much other options atm. Laverde also out of form. Hayes?

I highly doubt he makes it but if we are going down this path at least follow it through at least until ridley or Reid are back. I'd give him a bit more aerial support and hardness down there in the meantime.

Need more then just McKay with aerial contest and marking as a strength in the back 6.

Will need to build his appetite for the contest but still young and physically gifted.
