Loudest I've heard was when Starc dismissed Brendan McCullum in the 2015 World Cup Final.

Thanks again JC Harltley - great summary as always.

It would be interesting to have numbers on Cox's non-possession impacts. Contests in the air, tap ons etc . I thought he impacted the game much more than his general stats showed
I think therefore I think - I think

Was anybody else missing the excitement of either another close game or a thrashing on Saturday? Just a comfortable lead for the entire game was a little boring for me after all the close games we've witnessed this year. There was no adrenaline rush. Must admit to feeling deflated after the siren. Happy, but....

The 2018 & 2002 GF's says hello, so to the 2007 & 2019 Prelim finals. So to the 1994 Elimination Final and it can go on forever.....

Enjoy the ride

I wanted 40+ for a nice collect, the 9 points in a row destroyed me. I haven't had a drink in almost 3 years but woke up feeling hungover after the game, very strang.

Cox played a serviceable game with some excellent goal assist,s

WHE was not noticeable but had patches where he linked up forward ball movements

Cox like him just parked in the forward 50.

Another forward target and just do rucking in the F50.

Cox just have him in the goal square. And just like 15mtrs from goals.

Let the rest of the ruck work with Cameron and like Moore if its down back.

I love the idea of Cox inside 50, but he must be on the move to avoid being out bustled in a marking contest.

I can envisage Ash Johnson using Cox as a step ladder as he takes the Mark of the 21st Century standing on Mason's head.

Perhaps that’s the secret weapon. Ash to kick 16 goals as Cox gives him the two handed stepladder, forcing the AFL to change the rules in 2023.

Yeah, I noticed the lack of excitement after the game. Having had so many wins that ended on incredible highs, it was lacking atmosphere at the final siren. Having said that, I'd rather a big lead and a higher probability of victory rather than a close finish where victory is not assured and we get pipped in the end (as the cats did to us).
I find your lack of faith disturbing

So we kicked 11-13 on Saturday and being the dominant side for the game
That’s 24 scoring shot s

Given we amass simalar amount of shots against a fierce competitor 15 is possible but gee this is going to be a big win if they pull it off

That said I still give them a big chance
