What a tackle.

Of the 60,000 here tonight, 59,999 knew who was coming.

Brendan Cox was the only one.

4-5-29 to 5-3-33.

To be fair on Cox, yes, it was a poor bit of play by him to try and take on Nick Watson.

But the handball to start, it was a feed back.

And what the fullback doesn't want in life is a handball to miss him by three or four metres and then roll back towards goals.

It was just a sloppy handball.

It's been a great game early.

That's the sixth lead change of the game already.

Gee, it's just, he plays so deep.

That was coming off the goal line virtually.

You can't leave that space in front of him.

If Jack Gunston gets you out the back or in a contested mark, you just tip your hat.

But at the moment, they're just putting it in front of him and he's just walking out and grabbing it.

That's his fifth inside 50 mark of the game.

I was just chatting to Jack yesterday.

We were discussing, you know, how his body's feeling.

And he spoke about his back injury that he dealt with for a while right down low in his back.
