I don't unfortunately mate. It's on my footy live app, so not an actual web page. |

Would only consider getting Cox to the Club if we're willing to ship off Witts while he's still worth something. |

Your assuming that Hudson isn't a good coach, that Cox is significantly better, and that we should just dump a big turd on the people's beard and his coaching career. |

Huddo already has his own business set up for coaching, he's not out of a job if we do decide on Cox. I'm saying maybe we could draft him, have him in support like we did with Huddo. And Lycett and Nic Nat seem to be going alright with him coaching them, so I don't see how it could be a disadvantage. |

Yeah I realized what you were suggesting. We can only judge Hudo on the progress made by Witts and Grundy have made this year and on that basis I think he's doing okay.
I'm not a fan of recruiting stop gap players, said as much about Young, White, Lynch, Russell, even Leroy Brown. Different case with the Jolly, Ball, and Krakouer types. They have better history. Different case with the Adams and Karnezis types, they're young and have upside. Cox fall into the group with Young etc. not because he isn't a great player, purely because of his age. |

Agree with Jackcass. Huddo has also agreed to play for us when he had already retired to help us out. He originally applied for the ruck coach job. Would be a low act to move him on now just because an unproven coach like Cox is available. Witts & Grundy are coming on just fine under Huddo. I don't see that development skyrocketing just because Cox will be the one giving instructions instead of Huddo. I like having our ruck coach having some mongrel in him. |

I am currently a FIFO to WA and you get to read about ALL things WA and Cox has said he is NOT going anywhere and would love to be an assistant at the wee gals and eventually ,head coach.I don't think money would come into his calculations. |
