Teams under estimate players like Cox and Mihocek and this is part of the reason why the Pies have done so well. They stick in their lane and play within their limitations. Both are important pieces for Collingwood, Mihocek kicked four on Weitering last time and is that blue collar non traditional full forward who doesnt look much but is a real footballer who is team focussed rather than looking to be the next Coleman winner. Cox is no great ruckman or KP Forward but he is a hard to dominate against and thats where his value is, he also has that habit of taking big marks and kicking straight when it matters and is far from the bumbling idiot who first graced the MCG years ago. To be honest Id have more faith in Cox giving Collingwood something than I would Young giving us a solid game of football at the present time....his loss of form remains a mystery and in terms of softness he would be leading the Quilton medal.
