There were two sides out there last night and only one was playing hard tough footy

The other one was playing unfair footy

Coxy was good last night.

I dont think anyone said he couldnt be good, i think everyone was just upset about his lack of fundamentals being displayed, like his body work to get his opponent on the back foot.

More a jab at the forwards coach at CFC.
His long arms arnt just good for getting the the mark before everyone else in the league...They can be used to fend off before the ball arrives.

P.S does anyone know why his forearms are strapped like that? Maybe with some very slippery substance on the tape so opponents cant grab his arms?

I tell you what, Cox looks so much better when he plays from behind in the forward line. He looks so much more comfortable when he can initiate the contact and force the opposition under the ball. With his reach, if he’s not going to mark it Cox has shown tremendous guile for deft touches, taps and knock ons to crumbers and players running past.

This is the big change I reckon - his early bump on Mc Govern stood out and was the reverse of what has happened in the past

It’s official.
He is a finals specialist.
He thrives on confidence. It’s important we give him the opportunity
early in the game.

Cox conference - 6 October 2020

Post by Mr Miyagi »

Cox conference not what you think haha. He’s holding a press conference live streamed on Twitter in five minutes according to the CFC, Eddie will be present. This can’t be good! If it’s a fractured cheekbone, I’m done with footy. [/code]

Update, this might be 3:45pm Melbourne time. You’d think the CFC would still be going by Melbourne time, we’re not a Queensland team!

I don't do twitter, and there's nothing mentioned on the CFC website, so can you please update us on what unfolds? Thanks

I can only imagine its a fractured cheekbone. No other reason Cox could have a conference.

Players don’t usually have press conferences to announce they’ve got an injury,they usually leave it up to the club to do that.I reckon it’s just part of the promotion for Saturday night’s game.But then,of course,I could be wrong. :oops:
