Mitch Cox (Frankston – VFL)
Age: 24
Position: Utility (190cm, 81kg)
A ready-made player that’s gaining interest from AFL clubs after a breakout 2021 VFL campaign. Cox had a great start to the year in defence, averaging 21 disposals and five intercept possessions from his first five matches. He was then switched forward and, from Round 6 onwards, played as a mid-forward. The move paid dividends as he averaged 23 disposals, four clearances, eight score involvements and two goals per match. That stretch included two monster games: 5.1 from 28 disposals against the Northern Bullants then 4.2 from 20 disposals against Port Melbourne. Cox’s on-field surge came off the back of a strong pre-season where he improved his fitness significantly. His ability to play various roles would appeal to AFL clubs.
No. Article says he’ll arrive next week.

Hi, could someone please help me with a time for the match simulation tomorrow evening?
I think McStay and MaCarthy defensive effort is undersold.......with cameron and Daniher the point is valid

Below VFL stats for Mitchell Cox taken from link below.
Site also has stats for AFL, AFLW & VFLW
Agree with Briztoon in that it is a bit of an odd choice along with say a half back flanker
Thought if they got someone to train it may have been a KPP
Club still could pick up another player training with another club i suppose. Or nobody at all.

That was my first impression too.
Maybe it's a case of we like him, think he's a bit of a late bloomer & might come on well now in an AFL environment.
Not like we have much to lose though tbh.

Not sure how you can mistake Mitchell Cox for Matt Hammelmann, but here we are.
Does seem to have an eye for goal tho, perhaps a ready to go replacement if Cameron and/ or McCarthy are out of action.

Fair enough point, but I still want more. And yes, we do have to cover for Cameron and Daniher. Unfortunately there is often an all or nothing approach by those two and some sulking/ indifference as the ball heads out of our backline. You get the good with the bad though and Cameron in particular lifts his defensive side often when it is needed or the opportunity for a turnover presents itself.
Thing that occured to me here is Daniher snuck in on photo 6 or 7 and doesn't seem odd. For Essendon would always have been front and centre. I think that's what Joe wanted and could help bring out the best in him. Underrated season last year after almost three full missed seasons, I think he'll bring a great deal this year and be in the top 5 or so tall forwards going around. Like him playing second ruck too, useful once the ball hits the ground and good field kick. Don't always need a bruiser.

I agree Briz does seems strange but maybe it's about his flexibility. Don't know him from a bar of soap but says he started last year back then moved mid-forward. If he can play a few position that would handy to have waiting in the wings.

Not sure why it so hard to believe a slow plodding mid would potentially be replaced with a more dynamic type that can hit the scoreboard. If Zorko is to spend less time in the midfield we do lose a bit of spark within that rotation, that will need replacing. Stingrays video.

Wonder why he was never drafted, because his draft highlights package look pretty decent.Not sure why it so hard to believe a slow plodding mid would potentially be replaced with a more dynamic type that can hit the scoreboard.

I don’t mind it if we do pick him up, he looks like a bit of a Zorko type of player, a bit of Zip, Zap…..Cox about him
It is, but I wonder why we never tried to get Jack Hayes, who can play KPP and midfield.
