When watching the replay you could feel his understandable nervousness: first in the line in the up pre game Anzac commemorations and second when he took the mark & went back to have a kick at goal in front of the 85,000 crowd. The look on his face.John Wren wrote:i thought that was a prerequisite for posting in this forum.Woods Of Ypres wrote:

Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

Totally agree and am cautiously excited, if there is such an expression or feeling as that!!Mossi wrote:Lazza you have a good memory. I remember E expressing a view along those lines. Generally I agree with a lot of his posts but as we see is slightly off on our big Cox! I think Mason has surprised many skeptics in the last year! And his development, being so rapid, has shocked even the most hardened footy supporters. You can't help but be excited at what he will bring to the table from now. He just didn't make a mistake!! I just loved that knock on to Steel and some physicality he is showing in contests those second and third efforts just the tonic we need. They seem so instinctive something that usually comes from having played the game at an early age. If this bloke hangs on to a few more marks we are in for some joyous times!!Lazza wrote:I demand to know where the poster E is? He predicted that Cox wouldn't ever play a senior game because Americans cant kick or something like that.....
He will be a bloody moster in this game if he continues to improve at the rate he is going. Let's hope so Mossi...

Disagree DTM. For a big man I reckon he follows up pretty well. Some of his groundwork last week was really impressive and he doesn't mind getting his hands dirty.Dave The Man wrote:Cox might be the Best Tap Ruckman because of his Height but gets lost in the Midfield after the Ruck Contestswoop42 wrote:I said last year it wouldn't surprise me if Cox was our best tap ruckman before this season is out and nothing so far will make me change that view.
Importantly though I think he projects as being our most capable ruck forward and this will allow us to play him and Grundy together.
He's only going to get better.
c'mon guys, you cant be serious. if Cox is the answer, the question is seriously F'd up.
If not for darcy moore's perfect pass in the fist 2 minutes of the game, the Cox experiment would have been a complete disaster!!!!!!
It is fine for the pies o advertise Cox in a game against Essendon, but the lad didn't really do much......

yes, some of his groundwork reminded me of Chris Dawes and we all know how that turned out.nomadjack wrote:Disagree DTM. For a big man I reckon he follows up pretty well.

Yep odds are well and truely against him becoming a permanent KF, but can't knock the mans effort to date, I do however think he'll make it as a ruckman, IMO he's probably our best tap ruckman already, and he'd take more contested marks than our other 2 boys.E wrote:c'mon guys, you cant be serious. if Cox is the answer, the question is seriously F'd up.

You're not helping your case there. If Dawes could play in the ruck he never would have been moved on. If Cox is a Dawes level forward while also being a good backup ruck (the latter already looks an almost certainty), then he'll definitely have an AFL career.E wrote:yes, some of his groundwork reminded me of Chris Dawes and we all know how that turned out.nomadjack wrote:Disagree DTM.
