She’s a Model?

Thankfully Bellchambers is no longer at the club.

He is isn’t he? Ruck coaching?

Going to be shocking this year for the Victorian first years, going from SFA in 2020 to an AFL pre-season.

They’ll be breaking down left, right and centre.

Hopefully we’re smart about training.

It could be shocking or it could be good.

i,e these guys have already had chance to add muscle and build frames as not playing footy in 2020.
just need to get the footy stuff right.

[Gapsted_Bombers]

Don’t think the dedicated ones would have been doing SFA. In fact doing less contact work can be better as they can get far more volume into muscles which in its self can prevent injuries.

[Tippa-the-Iceberg]

Good call that.

[Clone_Hirdy]

Confident kid. I like the arrogance.

[Nocturnal]

Super pumped to see this kid play. He could be anything, seems to have the confidence in him aswell.

[Milanista28]

Without covid he could’ve become the number 1 pick, his skills pace and poise at 200cm is brilliant. Super exciting with the best attitude.

Of course, every club can say that about every Victorian they drafted.

“Josh Eyre and Cody Brand are there too, who I get on with really well, so it’s going to be awesome going through and developing with those boys. It’s going to be special.”

Agree. It’s going to be special.

[Milanista28]

I see your point but I wouldn’t say it about Reid, Cox has some real tricks for a bloke his size.

[Stallion]

BIG
COX

[Henry_s_Angry_Pills]

Perhaps, but there’s a big difference between what kids would be doing at home by themselves (or with a few mates) vs an AFL pre season.

[Tezzalenco]

Can’t wait to see Cox sidestep Daniher and slot one from 50.

@Speedy_Gonzales

“I wasn’t sure who it was because it was a random number and he just said ‘Hey, it’s Ben. How would you feel about being an Essendon footballer’.

“I went back to my family, they asked who it was and I just said ‘I don’t know’,

Our first pick gets the call from the coach and he says Ben who? I doubt Sheeds ever got that treatment

Of course, every club can say that about every Victorian they drafted.

Maybe Footscray can say theirs was the -5 pick.

Not so far from the truth: they did get him at much less than -5 from their pick

Watching these highlights again…

NIKOLAS COX HIGHLIGHTS | 2020 AFL DRAFT PROSPECT

Can anyone in the AFL kick as well as Cox on their non-preferred foot? I can’t think of any off the top of my head

[Godons13]

He takes set shots with his non preferred depending where he is on the ground. That’s ludicrous.

[Nocturnal]

That’s an exceptional highlights package. The 6 players in the draft before him must be some unbelievable footballers.

[bobo]

How many highlights packages have we watched over the years where they cut away after the player kicks it? This one shows target after target hit off both feet.

[wimmera1]

Oh my lord…
After seeing that I can only imagine that Thilthorpe is next Buddy Franklin.

His kicking, his speed, I was really impressed with the way he runs on to provide an option after disposal.
Please, please, please let this guy have a decent crack with injuries.
