my thoughts exactly. thought he was putrid tonight.Baby giraffe
Things are pretty grim when we just can't work out work out whether he's going to be unnoticeable or a liability.He’s played 40 games and I think maybe twice I’ve come away thinking ‘Cox was pretty good’. Every other game he’s been either unnoticeable or a liability.
Agree. I want my players to be good at something.Things are pretty grim when we just can't work out work out whether he's going to be unnoticeable or a liability.
Well if everyone else is confused about his role, I don't see why he should be exempt.His confidence is shot and that's something that the coaching staff should get some heat for because he looks totally confused in his role.
That is what you get when you are learning the wing at AFL level.His game awareness is non existant at the moment, he has no idea when to go and when not to go and gets caught in two minds in between contests.
In his first season he attacked the footy and was clean with it, now he looks like he doesn't want the ball anywhere near him.

His opponent and 1st year player Windsor has had no problems adapting to the wing role at the higher level.That is what you get when you are learning the wing at AFL level.
Yeah a bloke who played midfield / wing in a full under 18 season adapts better to the wing than a bloke who played CHB in a few practice games in his top age under 18 season. Apples and Bananas .His opponent and 1st year player Windsor has had no problems adapting to the wing role at the higher level.
Are we sure he's going to be fruit?Yeah a bloke who played midfield / wing in a full under 18 season adapts better to the wing than a bloke who played CHB in a few practice games in his top age under 18 season. Apples and Bananas .
Dingleberry.Are we sure he's going to be fruit?
Rubbish, how long has Cox been tried on a wing now 3/4 seasons ?Yeah a bloke who played midfield / wing in a full under 18 season adapts better to the wing than a bloke who played CHB in a few practice games in his top age under 18 season. Apples and Bananas .
I never said he is a wing or is any good at it. I have always said he is not a wing. He gets confused because he gets thrown onto the wing at AFL level and he can not play the role. Windsor is a different story. That is why I said it is a poor comparison. Cox is a poor winger and trying to turn him into one at AFL level makes it an issue.Rubbish, how long has Cox been tried on a wing now 3/4 seasons ?
He's shown no improvement and looks more confused than ever.
So we agree then, the coaching staff trying to turn him into a winger need a rocket put under them.I never said he is a wing or is any good at it. I have always said he is not a wing.

Somehow they are seduced by the fact he takes the odd mark. I have no idea how long it goes but I can not see it working long term.So we agree then, the coaching staff trying to turn him into a winger need a rocket put under them.
How long do they continue with this experiment ?, surely they can see that this aint working and the poor kid's confidence is shot.
Yes and he was suspended in his first gamePeaked in his first 3 or 4 games.
Totally agree.I think he's shown enough throughout the season that collectively losing our shit over a poor game seems a bit immature
