Very worth revisiting. Love his attitude. Did uni as a paid student not on an athletic scholarship, got his engineering degree, accepted a 6 figure job then walked away from that to try his hand at playing a sport he'd never heard of in a city he'd never heard of in a country he knew nothing about.
He's kept that attitude all the way though. Love the guy and so happy to see him playing well.
Get him to 100 games then put him out to stud.
Now some douche has stolen a new set of prescription goggles from his mailbox. Geelong supporters.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
FWIW, in light of the way he has turned around his form, since being used predominantly as a ruckman, I reckon Cox has another 3-4 yrs in him. Particularly if Grundy exits the stage, he will be needed that's for sure. Well done to the big fella!
David, he has over a dozen pairs. Each pair of glasses has different lenses for different light conditions. It’s been a lot of trial and error this year getting to know which ones work best.

Already answered and explained if you dare listen a moment. The previous regime did pay too much. But again, as per your other 'insight' on the matter, there are no Nobel prizes for harping on about sunk costs. The task is to work the situation before us to our best favour, bearing in mind no trade is easy, no one gives you what you want, and trades can just as easily lead to worse outcomes.
Add the complication of injury and the fact we've barely seen what the bloke looks like now the McRae system is in full swing, and you're being far too reactionary.
It is Graham Wright who is driving all of this, not any supporters, and he is clearly not viewing this as a sunk cost, but as an area in which he might be able to cut Collingwood's losses, in contrast to hoping that McRae will perform a miracle on this player, which would be like a gambler chasing his losses and going bankrupt.
And to be fair, we already tried the bolded approach with Beams!

20 hit outs , 5 marks, 10 disposals, a goal and some lovely little taps. His kick over the top that allowed, i think, Ginni? to score one of his goals.
Needs to just grab a few more of those chances in the air he gets. Big game against the Swans.
