Lots of positive write-ups on Hotrods especially about Cox.

Interesting to see the Williamstown went the 12-10 route yesterday. Whether it was due to availability of players, or was by design, but I would like to see them go 12-10 all year.

I went down there to check out the game, arrived about five minutes into the first quarter, left about five minutes befor the end of the game. Few points:

Cox was far and away BOG for mine, wonderful poise, good in traffic, big enough to play on 3rd tall types, good enough below his knees to play on mid sized players, excellent handballs out of traffic, explosive run but controlled diposal by foot to advantage, deserves a shot in the bigtime.

The other two Pies listed players that stood out for me where Egan and Bryan, Eags played on a HBF along with Cox and played well, rebounding out of defence and covering his man, he was also good at marshalling the troops down there which was great to see. Bryan seemed to be everywhere, he must have picked up 20 odd touches and was competative in the ruck contests against the much taller Street, he used his bulk to clean up smaller blokes to and put the fear into a few of them, could be pushing for selcetion if the right matchups are to be found, and wont discrace himself if Frasers hip keeps him out for a week.

of the youngsters all looked to have potential, Wellingham and Dick played similar roles as HFF/Wingmen and did well, without actually nailing the goals that would have put them in line foir a call up, likewise Reid and Brown who where the talls at either end seemed to do OK without seeing the world on fire.

Clarke looks to have speed and aggression and at one stage ran forward to loose his man and kick a goal, good stuff, but probably still has plenty to learn about the game before he is elevated.

Iles looked good also, may be in line, along with Eags, Cox and Bryan for consideration, runs fast, can kick.

all in all it was a great day, there way a lady in the crowd who fell and hit her head and gave us a bit of a scare, hope she is well and our best wishes go out to her family.

GO GULLS!

Cox was the best on ground by a mile, carrying on from last season and then some.

Dick and Wellingham played some decent footy, Wellingham seems to have a great footy brain, knows when to do the flashy but also when to do the simple effective things, a great mix.

Brad dick is electric, quick, and simply exciting.

Bryan was, and excuse the language, solid as f*ck. Did well in the ruck but got around the ground both forward and back and made his presence felt more than once.

Nathan Brown worries me, third time i've seen him and he has literally done nothing. Looks slow and completely knackered going into every contest. Harsh call but its been the same everytime I've seen him. His opponent got touches at will yesterday, who to be fair was former Brisbane player Marty Pask, who has AFL experience. Seems to have the body type so desired in AFL footy but so very slow.

The darkhorse was clearly Goldsack, was great all day, takes on every contest and is very quick and elusive for a kid his size, I liked his game.

OP perhaps? could also be that he is learning to play his position in a new defensive unit and there are some times he is finding himself out of position. He didn't look tto slow to me, just inexperienced, Reid was the same, saw him pick up some touches up on the wings and looked to have pace, but didn't see anything like the controlled aggression and attack on the ball up the centre like against the saints at NAB level, I guess having Cloke and Fraser there to set the example helped straigten him up in that game, now he is the 'go to' guy and has to find his feet by himself, I have confidence they both will.

Cox absolutely should be given a game on the back of that performance, he was very very good.

Gotta agree with WKB, I thought much the same about Nathan, although his sprint times might be impressive, it probably doesn't mean much in a game. It's a bit like putting a sprinter in a long distance race?? No doubt he will improve, a lot of young guys need time to adjust, the game pace increases dramatically going from Junior level to TAC to VFL then to AFL. He certainly looks the goods physically, he justs need to hone his skills.
