That is why Cox has averaged 5 more possessions per game than him and 4 more goals.James said:

all worthy points... but i have judged by team not on what i have seen so far because i havent had the chance to watch each team play... but what i think the team will be by years end. i totally forgot about james clement and admit that he deserves to be considered ahead of lappin. haselby will come good... one of the games premier midfielders when in form. thats only the way i see it though, others have criticsized him in the past

Fletcher has been one of Essendon's best players this season for me. Have to be close.
Bradley has been good, but Croad has been sensational. So has Leigh Brown.
Lucas has been outstanding.
Andrew Welsh has been our best player and would have to be considered. Average of 20 disposals a game isn't bad considering he spent three quarters on the bench on Sat night after getting injured.
20, 30 and 23 disposals in his three completed games this season. Not bad numbers from half back.

He has been, but there's alot of competition. Mitchell has had two BOGs in the only two full games he's played so if his form holds up he'd be a shot too. Wouldn't sneak either in yet though.Nightwolf_69 said:
After four rounds there would be two Hawthorn players in the AA side, and to everyones credit, Croad and Everitt have been included in most of these line-ups.
You are bottom of the ladder.You are lucky to get 1 placeLongy413 said:

Why does that matter? The reason we are on the bottom of the ladder is because we only have a handful of players playing well.
There is no denying Fletcher, Welsh and Lucas are on AA pace.

No Shannon Grant? Has been North's best so far.

I think most Essendon supporters will agree with you as well.
Although his first 3 games were outstanding. He is averaging 20 disposals and 9 marks. Don't think many defenders could boast those figures. However the defensive side of his game definately needs some more work.

Noted on the possies and goals. But Barny is doing better than Cox in hit outs and doing well at stoppages. His ruck work has been first class and shouldn't be underestimatied. Which is the primary role for a ruckman anyway, to give the onballers first use of the footy. He tends to drop back to help out the defence in general play and is more usefull to us, playing that role than kicking a few more goals by drifting forward of the play. For the AA team, Spider would be the attacking goal scoring ruckman and Barny the defensive one. Sorry no room for Cox on my list as he would be competing with Spider for the same role. (Top player though)
HITOUTS
1. Peter Everitt Hawthorn 114

West Coast also have Gardiner and Seaby who ruck too.Those two along with Cox boast the best ruck pairing in the league IMO.

have we not won a game?
weagles_fan said:
No..far from it..just that others (read McLeod and Kouta) have been better so far.
James said:
The difference in those two in hitouts works out to be about 4 a game. Not much. Id hazard to guess Cox wins a larger percentage of his contests when you consider he has had back up ruckman, whereas French hasn't.
Add Cox's ability to kick goals and win more of the ball around the ground and I'd take him thanks.
