Sure is.
I must admit, I didn't know if he was going to get a game after Shae McNamara who I thought looked close a couple of times.
Got a heart as big as Texas I say.

| After the nab challenge it was obvious Cox was in our best 22. Strange it took till Anzac Day to play him. |

He's gonna get targeted now though, expect to see some cheap shots, not sure it'll worry him though, to go from basketball to full forward for Collingwood takes some massive balls, and I think that's why he's so dangerous; he doesn't give a ****!!!
What I've noticed, when he gets a run at it he dominates the contest, but I don't think his height has anything to do with his positioning, which is scary, if I had to guess I'd say he was almost elite at rebounds in basketball, he has a knack for reading the play.

Yep, a 6 ft 10 full forward who's an accurate set shot at goal.. the Leigh Brown role if I ever saw one. Kudos to you though, you managed a post without shit canning the coach or club. That should be applauded

He plays short too. Can't wait for him to start jumping at marks without the hunch.

Seems to time the centre bounces much better than Grundy. That was my one negative for the night; Grundy's timing. Pretty woeful.

Jumps at the ruck contest like Anthony Rocca. I wonder if there could be a reason for that? |

| Happy to see that you've written a positive post. Bob. Makes for a much more pleasant Sunday morning. I went to the game BTW and he is going to be a star.No doubt in my mind. I like the fact that not only is he a BIG sucker,he can run and tackle and he DOES!!! |

Last night ,after he took the juggling mark and played on and goaled,he was sniped by Merrett with a n after his kick cheap shot and should have got another kick.It will take a good one to hurt him I think. |

He had the strut and swagger last night too. He clunked a mark and Merrett slid off him. Was hilarious seeing Coxy give him a glare when he was getting up off the ground. He'll be a monster when he gets more games and more confidence.
Wonder how many COX 27 jerseys will be sold. I'm tempted.

He has got a touch of mongrel in him the big boy, and I like it.
He's not going to start cheap shotting players but he's not going to be intimidated and will stand up and get into it. He got in Nic nats face early in the Wiggles game after something he didn't like, Nic Nat backed off looking a tad surprised.

Some of you guys are acting surprised at his 'swagger'. He's an American. He ain't gonna be intimidated by some bogan on the footy field, not when he's a giant. He's not a kid. He's been around the block. He and Moore have got the right stuff. When Moore decked that twerp after a goal of ours, resulting in a centre square free? Magic. Brought a tear to my eye.
