No thanks. A core player going through a down patch like a Lipinski or Murphy deserves this type of support, but a fringe player who’s been down for a while with 3 guys in the reserves deserving of a spot doesn’t. Footy’s ruthless and whilst there’s a chance Cox receives this support it’s not fair that he’ll get it ahead of whoever else they’d have to drop to fit Hill in (as a minimum).Cox didn't say much about playing this week but didn't indicate he was certain to be returning to the VFL. He'd taken some time off, went away, cleared the mind and found some support. So hopefully he returns this week in some form at some level to his beast mode. His podcast seemed more happy this week and had a positive, rather than negative, slant.
Reminds me of the days of 'Lou Richards's kiss of death'.We're all begging you to please tip Hawks. Do it for the team.
The long weekend provided to the players suggests that we were at the end of a heavy training phase.
The response this week will tell all.
Yep I think it is. Its a huge differential as we have also been relatively successful in that time. 8 GF appearances to their 14Is that much different to the rest of the competition? They have been very well run for a very long time.
He still can Dave... in other ways.Hawks have been our Bogey Team for quite some time.
At least Mitchell won't Destroy us like he has in the Past

Here a quick stat I checked as its my impression we struggle against them even in the years we are doing better than them.
In our 8 GF years they finished 8th, 6th, 5th, 10th, 9th, 7th, 3rd and 4th yet in those seasons the win:loss is 6:8 in their favour.
Tip the Hawks Dave.
I initially wanted Titch dropped for this game, but again this old team I’ll back him in for a huge game against the old foe

He's no more fringe than Lipinski. In fact an on song Cox brings more to our game than an onsong Lipinski. Think back to the Queen's Birthday game last year or even the second game against Melbourne. He sets us alight and the crowd too when he is "on." That doesn't mean he should never suffer consequences for poor form but knowing what he can do and understanding it could well click into action in the next game it is tempting to stick with what for the best part of two years has been a successful, winning combination.No thanks.

interesting, that Fly alluded to his body of work over the whole season and not recent games .... make what you will of that. He also said that we dont turn the whole system upside down based on a few recent efforst essentially...His output would suggest otherwise
It depends on which period of time you are talking about.His output would suggest otherwise
I never said he was certain to start but he still deserves support wherever he is playing.No thanks.

My recollection was that Beams had a chance late to win it for us but missed the shot at goal, but you know what old people are like. Maybe you are thinking of Geelong in 2011? I'm sure hubby can remind you of that.Hawks even beat us comfortably in the last H & A round of 2010, prior to the finals. Remember it well as I was sitting next to an especially obnoxious Hawks fan.

They humiliated us out at Waverley just before the 1990 finals series and lucky for us Melbourne beat them in their semi final. Leigh Matthews was genuinely fearful of meeting them in the finals. The Hawks have had our number for decades, even when we are in the top echelon and they are struggling.My recollection was that Beams had a chance late to win it for us but missed the shot at goal, but you know what old people are like.

Edit: Not as senile as I thought:
