Mundy at 25 games had just finished third in the rising star and won the beacon award. He was always considered one of our best players and the only question some people had was whether he could make it as a midfielder or remain across half back. He clearly could be a good midfielder but needed time and most people were happy to let him have it, myself included. He was a natural footballer.
Considering how much you love Tabs Raglan, you should be right behind Cox. He had better or comparable stats than Tabs over the couple years they shared the forwardline and Cox was 5 years his junior. He won a rising star nomination and spent time at both ends of the ground doing a good job. It's about as well as an 18/19 year old has played as a KPF in the last decade or two.
In regards to Will Brodie, he's copped a lot of injuries too but a 190cm inside midifelder is hugely valuable. Not only that but he was dominant last year for gold coast, averaging 22 touches a game between hamstring strains while also gathering just under 6 tackles a game and 5 clearances a game from less than 80% game time. The injuries haven't helped him along with Greenwood and Anderson coming in to play that inside role but he really impressed me last year He should really be playing more this season and it baffles me that he isn't when fit but he'll get a go soon enough to add to his 20 games.
Back on topic though, the below West Aussies have been invited to
test at the combine as part of 94 around the country. I dare say it'd be tough to get drafted outside of these 94 given how little football there's been this season to prove yourself and the expected shrinking of list sizes and draft selections.
