Well, you did say that

He played 5 farking games in 2022, and to me looked injured from the first game vs Geelong.
You would seem meek as well if you had a bung foot meaning you could not run or kick, why they played him at all is a mystery. And yet in spite of that he still got 21 disposals in round 2 vs Brisbane.
Did you actually watch him play in any of those 5 games ?

Yes, and he was a shadow of the player from 2021. 5 games was a large enough sample size to say he shouldnāt have been playing at all. He was injured, he was out of form, but the real concern was that he seemed to be struggling with self-belief. He didnāt think he could play well, and the selectors showed a distinct lack of care and insight in putting him in the side. As things progressed his belief slid further and further. Itās a hard thing to recollect once it slips and to perform at the elite level oneās confidence has to be through the roof.
Youāve totally missed the tone of my previous posts. 2022 was an aberration. 2021 is the player we have to work with.

Let me try to clear this upā¦
In 2022 he āseemed meekā as a consequence of being injured, being out of form, and being low on confidence.
He must accept a portion of the responsibility for putting his hand up to play despite these factors. The lionās share, however, rests with the selectors who were negligent in their duties in not realising that he wasnāt fit to play.
19 year olds seldom confess to their own incapacities so they should have done their job and held him back.
It was as Ann as the nose on plainās face.

Yes but cox pnly played 5 games and was injures. Cant really say 2nd yesr blues. If he played most of the season and was sub par for all of it then yes id say 2nd year bluea
Yes, like being told the average shoe size of draft picks 6 to 10 is informative.
I see you struggle with context and reading more than one sentence in a post.
You can do night classes to help with thatā¦
Ye like that except on topic.
Ye? LIke Kanye West? Now thatās off topic.
Oh, you meant āyeahā but canāt spell.
Got it.
I reckon he can make it as a defender.
Heās taken some good marks from memory. That hangar in one of his first training sessions as a bomber springs to mind.
Also he came on at 3/4 time as sub against freo in 2021 and was just about best on ground for that one quarter when he was the loose man in defence
Iām pretty happy about it.
But I do think thatās where heāll end up.
The wing is a pipe dream.

I see a guy whoās 6ā6ā, who should be able to build a base to run 15km a game, whoās competitive at ground level with midfielders, can kick off both feet and take a grab and just think it would an absolute waste to play him in the backline. Thereās so much to work with there.

I donāt see why the backline is a negative. Intercepting / rebounding defenders are gold in the modern game. Plus, we do need some height back there.
And I donāt think heās that competitive with midfielders at ground level. Good for his size, sure.
