You know you want it.
I dunno, a half-back WEST, wing WEST and half-forward WEST all playing on the western side at Docklands would be pretty sweet.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
Listening to Matt Rendell he really rates Cox as a ruckman. Says he has a great tank and very smart as well. His problem is Grundy who rucks the entire game. I would be happy to have him as backup and change with English in the forward line.

Well iif you ruck someone like Dunkley, then he does an ankle then we continue to play Groundhog Day time after time. He leaves and we get exactly what we deserve.
You need to own this Bevo

Didn’t Dunkley hurt just ankle late in the GWS game in the forward pocket?

If you want an optimistic view of Cox rucking watch Q3 of their game against GWS. Probably his best ten minute patch in the ruck this year. Beats Mumford to a few hit outs through sheer size.

Correct, it wasn't because he was in the ruck

Not like you have to jump at all against Mumford, bloke couldn’t hop let alone jump, he just barges in and wouldn’t know where the ball was half the time.
Be interesting to see if Mumford actually got his hand on the ball clean to a team mate all year in the ruck contest.
Not sure that’s anyone to rave about beating.

Certainly not raving about him I don’t rate Cox in the ruck just giving people a reference point.

If Dunk's 2020 was a step backwards then I'd love to know what Yeo's would be considered.

Good reference point actually.
A bit like English good against the mediocre in the ruck.
Don’t get me wrong Engish is a very good player just not in the ruck.
Cox is a very limited player, when the ball hits the ground he is nowhere as good as English.
A good forward as a target up high but a very mediocre ruck , pretty much a one trick pony.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
No one has listened to Matt Rendell for like 10 years, why do we all of a sudden want to start now?
There is NOTHING to suggest that Cox is even a VFL standard ruck. Can we please actually try to do something worthwhile.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
Should we be into any of the Geelong boys being pushed out to make way for the old brigade?
As far as I'm aware, Brad Close, Darcy Fort, Nakia Cockatoo, Quinton Narkle, Sam Simpson and Zach Guthrie are out of contract while Charlie Constable, Esava Ratugolea, Jordan Clark and Lachlan Fogarty all seem on the outer. Parfitt hasn't officially signed on but is rumoured to have extended for 2 more years.
Do any of these players hold interest to us? Almost all would cost stuff all I'd imagine, most have looked decent at stages albeit may have benefitted from having low expectations as being the 20th-22nd man.
Some are types we need/want, Ratugolea and Fort are mobile second rucks of questionable quality, Cockatoo and Clark are injury prone quick running wingers, Close, Narkle and Fogarty are all pacy half forwards that kind of crumb, Constable is a big bodied mid with a nice kick who is pretty slow and Simpson is a clean half forward/mid that seems the most established of the lot in their 22.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Big Footy whisper or something more concrete.
Elliot Yeo would be welcomed.

Forte is another ex Footscray player we were looking at originally like Hannan .
