What are his outstanding attributes?

Intercept marking / reading the ball coming in , kicking both sides , good tank , will take the game on , good at ground level , good enough closing speed to allow his reach to be a factor in spoiling his opponents and ability to play on various size players. Have said it before but watching him play defense was like watching a 200cm Jordan Ridley.

 

[fishardansin]

So ya'll be saying we'll have two KPDs over 200cm tall? OMG ... back of my hand on my forehead.

 

[andleanback]

What are his outstanding attributes?

Aerobic capacity, aerial capacity. Ability to read the play and intercept mark. Ability to use to the ball on both feet. Believe he had a sub 3sec 20m sprint aswell.

Still listed as long term which probably means the year, especially with the dual moonboots

Looks like he's landed the role as an Author in the new rendition of Misery.

That describes every player we've had in the last 15 years

AMT was a great set shot!

From memory we made Ridley play on the wing in the VFL for some time before bringing him into the backline. Could be the same things with big Cox

I think we moved Ridley to the wing after a stint in defence. He was expected to be really creative, fantastic disposal and a great outlet mark on a wing, but it didn’t really work out - he was better as that intercepting defender. I expect that we had Cox on the wing because they saw all the same attributes that they saw in Ridley, but like Ridley I expect he will be better behind the ball.

So Rutten was on the radio and suggested Nik Cox will be settled into a KP role.

Do we start the most Essington discussion of all right now?



Forward or back??

Both. He has that type of ability.

T'was a joke in reference to the long list of KP swingman we've had over the past two decades. From Darcy Daniher to Jake Carlisle, to Michael Hurley and Mark Bolton.
