I post rarely as I see so many angles to this I become paralysed. Still, do a little balance on the Cox theme, I’ve read no mention of one of most experienced players in Ben Reid clunking multiple marks. To me if you are getting 2 hands to it without any spoils then it should be sticking. It’s like it’s mental. Just that grit to say “ this is mine!!!!”
Sure Coxy was poor but so was Reid. The whole mood changes when a couple of strong grabs occur. Hope. Belief. These little things drive me nuts. Even my 15 yo son is saying “ Dad, when we handball why aren’t we going on to shepherd? We just handball and stop”
I hate being critical because I’m on in amongst it and know they are trying but eff me, even the basics of intent seem frazzled . In round 1!!!
Thanks |

I would play Reid down back full stop.
AA backman ...so why are we playing him forward.
He is not a great goal kicker.
Kicked 14 goals last year.

Reid dropped a couple, but he did take 6 marks. Cox took 0. That's extraordinary.
It was a slippery night, some dropped marks were to be expected (Moore dropped a couple as well). It's not like the Hawks talls were grabbing many either. _________________ Well done boys! |

I prefer Reid down back rather than up forward but I don't mind pushing him forward from time to time and rotating with Darcey - to confuse the opposition.
Cox was deplorable last night and never looked like taking a mark. He looked tired slow and lethargic. A bloke his size should be smashing packs and dominating around the ground and not just throw you hands up in the air and wave em around you just don't care. |

Just post one angle at a time. You can always comment again or update an old comment. There --- paralysis banished. |
