I think next time Langford is being blanketed he and Cox could switch if Cox is on the wing - he is doing ok this year - just getting continuity of games is the big plus. He is showing more passion and confidence since the start of the year, hopefully next year can be a real breakout year for him.

A very accurate post in all respects. Back in the day half of the 84/85 team would have been torched on here for not being stars after a year or two

Those 3 goals against GC will have given him a big boost to his confidence. I even thought I saw a smile sneak out the side of his normally stern mouth and furrowed brow. Showed v decent goalscoring instincts.
He’s starting to become the player we were hoping for. A true utility. Can play anywhere across the backline, wing, pinch hit ruck and finally… took his chance up front on the weekend. Another good game for this young Bomber gun.
Start him on a wing (or HBF given Redders is out) against FC and use him as our “go to” man if needed elsewhere during the game. He’s an awkward one for any oppo to deal with and has a decent tank to carry out a tactical move for Brad in tight last quarters. Doesn’t mind mixing it with the gorillas either I’ve noticed.
Go Nik Cox…

He’s going alright, as he has been all year. Thing I’d like to see from Nik post-bye is to get his hands on the ball more. Turn those 12-13 possession games into 15-17 touches and grow from there.

He’s alright. Not great. Not poor
Could he be a forward? That grab he took was better than anything jones or wright took yesterday!

He has been decent in my opinion. Much better than the past couple of years.

That was a ripper mark. From where I was sitting I could see his name written all over it. He backed himself and took it. More of that please.

ive seen enough rest of the season as a forward and re-evaluate, get a real wing into the side (Saad/roberts)

It’s very different coming in as an extra versus having Weitering or McGovern on you. But he should definitely be encouraged to float forward and present as an option.
I think he’s been ok so far from a pure performance perspective, very good with a developmental lens on. As in, considering his missed football and that his frame is still several years from his optimal body. He’s not provided as many possessions but his pressure has been fantastic.
Very promising.

Big cox on SEN. (Not referring to Andrew Gaze)
Tackling the big issues with Nik on how Tom Harley proposed to his partner at Monkey Mia. And whether Nik will be putting his hand up to DJ any upcoming weddings.

Any update on how he is? Hopefully just a jarred ankle.
Am liking Cox this season. The brush off of an eagles player on the HFF in the first half was excellent. There was a contest in the game where Perkins was left a bit umpire watching and slow to get up, contrasted with Cox who just kept at the ball and the man.
Can play him nearly anywhere on the ground.
It’s still not fully clicked for him yet, but I’m back on his bandwagon again after a rough couple of years.

I’m really liking what Cox is bringing lately. His marking through the midfield is an asset.

Just keep getting games into him. Whether it’s AFL or VFL, 20 games without major injuries would be a good year for him. Anything more is a bonus.
Another pre-season and hopefully he improves again next season.

Played reasonably well today…needs to be more confident in his ability to kick the ball…a few sh*tty little kicks today that resulted in either a turnover or stoppage when a longer kick was the better option.
Yes I agree, confidence still may be an issue but give him 20 more games and he could be really good.
He will explode, in a good way, when he reaches 25. Bookmark it, he will be like a giant Xav Duursma
