TBH I'd settle for 1 goal, 2 goal assists, crashing packs in the forward line bringing the ball to ground and a win.1892_ wrote:I think that's a fair expectation, although I'd settle for a strong presence up forward with a goal or 2 being more a bonus.mattys123 wrote:What's the line set at?
About 8 possessions, 1 goal and 25 hitouts seems about right.
Anything under and unleash, but I reckon he'll cover that.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

He had 7 disposals in his VFL last outing, so let's hope we aren't over-egging the pudding here.1892_ wrote:I think that's a fair expectation, although I'd settle for a strong presence up forward with a goal or 2 being more a bonus.mattys123 wrote:What's the line set at?

Oh Brooth is gonna love it!
"Yes, Essendon has big Daniher up forward, but Collingwood have big Cox!!!
Actually I don't believe Cox will be able to do very much, not with Cloke there making sure we can't kick straight. Besides, he should've played Round1, 2 at worst. There was fear in the other sides after our NAB performances, suddenly Collingwood have this triple tall Forward line, can kick 11.1 in a quarter. The footy world was taking notice, and after we knocked off THE three teams expected to improve most this year, there was a lot of talk.
Then came Robbo's slander & Buckley's total mishandling of it. Plus his total screw-ups in selections. Now I think it's too late. The side has zero confidence and every other side thinks they can beat us.
I can't imagine what could get us playing like we know we can, maybe if Josh Smith played a blinder and Coxy got 4 in our huge percentage boost win over Essen-something, but I'm willing to bet Smith won't get a run unless there's at least one last minute injury, (Then again, we already have the longest injury list...again,).
And believe me, without any doubt we CAN beat any side, if we had the kind of confidence we had in the first half of the last two seasons. Yes, we've been abysmal, but that's totally down to confidence. Change that and we could do anything. This is not a dud side that needs rebuilding (again). We were 4th halfway through the last 2 seasons, and then lost our confidence totally. We know what happened last year, we were a goal away from beating the undefeated Freo, and were 9 points up in the last against the eventual Premiers, but our 2 Goals 9 in the 3rd stuffed us, and then our failure to follow Swanny's awesome goal in the last finished us.
I believe the problem in 2014 was Maxy retiring on top of all the other much loved players departing. The day after Maxy retired we lost to Footscray for the first time in years, when they were absolute crap.
But the real problem both years, and the reason why playing Cox is too little too late, is that we don't have someone who can put the confidence back in the side. MM was good at that, I think Bomber could do it in short order, and the name Leigh Tudor (suggested by someone in another post) interests me greatly. But under Bucks it won't happen, if we're really lucky the players might do it themselves, but our most inspirational players are out, especially Swanny. Perhaps if Moore & Cox kick 8 between them, and Cloke is a late out...
If on the other hand we were to go down to the glorified VFL side on Anzac day then...
...There's always next year!
