Would like it if he found more of the footy (rising star judges love their stats), but one thing he does have is incredibly high impact when he is near it. So much poise for a first year player!
Also note he took 3 contested marks yesterday.
2MP took 4!
Keep DODORO.
Got this one right.
Will be anythingā¦
Jacob Kositchke got 3 contested marks on the weekend too.
Cox has no fear.
love the vision of his tackles he just goes hard at the oppositionā¦
STFU. Eddie had an unfortunate injury during the pre-season which will cost him the Brownlow this year.
Itās nice to have a player on our list that the media drool over, similar to every time the Bont or Dusty goes near the ball.
His usual ~14km
The biggest mistake we can do is bulk him up to play as a KPP.
His speed, agility, endurance and ability at ground level makes him a very unique player.
Physical abilities aside, just makes the right decisions
Did everyone see his attempted back heel out of the ruck? In Cox we trust.
It depends on his ability to carry weight.
he can definetly add size.
But given Goodes, Pavlich, Kouta and Cripps can run through the middle, I see no reason why Cox canāt once he has added some size.
From watching his first game to now, you can tell he is confident and looks as if he truly believes he belongs at this level now, he just keeps getting better.
Sidebutt is pretty hard to tackle.
Great effort and suprising strength.
I agree Sidebutt is strong and he couldnāt break or wiggle free from our lad.
I had a fair bit to say on Cox before the draft.
A lot of people were talking about him as KPP. I couldnāt see it. I thought he would end up being a 200cm Connor McKenna off the half back lineā¦ then become the link up player up the ground.
I imagined he could do what heās currently doing, in about 3-4 yearsā¦ I didnāt expect it this season.
As Kane Cornes has saidā¦ Nik Cox will be the next Super Star of the competition.
Loved that. Sidebottom thought āIāll just brush this kid off like Iāve been doing to Essendon players for my entire careerā
And Cox just buried him.
I imagine Sidebottom as Shooter McGavan and Cox going with āHappy learned how to puttā
Time for the weekly revisit of how right you were?
Fair enough, when you are right you are allowed
Cox is a stud
Years?
Nik Cox
āPlaying the Nik Cox roleā
Give him a couple to be a āTop Gunā
