Great article. Although there is no doubt that Cox has been the better ruckman over the years i would have liked to have seen him VS Gardy at his peak in 03. Would have been an epic dual.

nice article, good praise for both Gards and Cox. And rightly so, Cox is outstanding as Gards was in his prime. Nice closing line

Great Article by Benny. Great to see him and Gards are still close mates. I love that about footy. Having said that I hope saints fans don't get sucked into thinking Gardi could become a MESSIAH. Yeah don't we all just love a MESSIAH at St Kilda but I reckon all we need Gards to do is stay injury free and become a team player. We don't need him to be AA. We just need him to keep doing what he has done in the first couple of rounds.

Go Gardsa and go the Sainters tonight.

ps. It would be a great story though if Gards has a blinder tonight and we knock of the Weagles.

Must be Michael's turn to take the media heat
he's also done an interview which will be on Fox before the game.

x2

The key point in the interview is that he thinks gardy is a better tap ruckman who can pinpoint his mids. This is all we need to start opening teams up. First posession is what you want everytime and what we have the chance at now.

Gardiner 199cm has been performing well

He has three big games in a row now.....

Dean Cox - 204cm, premiership ruckman, 4 times AA, B&F

Aaron Sandilands - 211cm, All Australian, Giant

Brendon Lade 200cm/Dean Brogan 202cm - All Australian, Premiership Combination

Heill need his partner King 201cm to give him plenty of support......I would also pinch hit Kosi/Blake for 5 minutes a quarter (especially against Sandilands) to expose him around the ground - we will lose the hit outs regardless..

I am big fan of Gardi.

Great article.

He has an interview today on FOX footy at 1.30 (eastern) for those who can watch it.

He could be our X factor if he stays on the park.

Had a shocker last time against the Eagles... Time for redemption.

The way he spoke of Ross Lyon makes me think BC harbours no bitterness towards him and it may, in fact, confirm that he knew Ross really wanted him but that he was overruled.
