What is it with AFL Clubs and big Cox's?
West Coast has one and now we do too.
Are we suffering from Cox envy?

My own comments stand. I watched him on video. Not impressed but we have the best facilities and some great development coaches to give him the best possible chance.

The kid making it as an AFL player is a long shot but does not cost us a list spot. Nothing ventured nothing gained i guess.

Good luck to the kid and I wish him well.

Realistically though with Witts and Grundy being groomed as our ruck duo for the next decade, is this kid really a chance to replace either of these?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this kid is going to revolutionize the game.

7FT tall, can break the sound barrier when he runs and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. How can he not succeed?

(Now I don't actually think this but if by some miracle he does make it I want to be in on it early)

Could be the next Paul Salmon...? extremely tall marking/leading forward - he can run and use his height so Cox does not get exposed defensively!

With Witts and Cox in the forward line alongside Blair and Elliot we are the true yin-Yangs :) no more Collingwood 6 footers!
Love us or Hate us... we are Collingwood - you can't ignore the Mighty Magpies!!!

I'm not sure they should wait until 2015 to bring him over. The way our injuries are going, he might be needed on a half-back flank next week.

My wife honestly has a better kick on her than him. Best of luck to the guy, but if we can manage to get him to even Clint Jones' kicking level then I'll be astounded.

Can we not just draft an Aboriginal small forward? Jesus we need one
