Round 9: Swans v Essendon.

[MattW]

Can anyone make out who the media/Cox are praising towards the end of Cox's press conference? I can hear the media mention the defence as a unit and Blakey in particular but I can't make out another name the press volunteer. Cox then goes on to praise the second half performance of the defence but refers to "those two in particular". One is clearly Blakey. Can anyone work out who the other player singled out is?

Cox then goes on to praise Chad's efforts (all game) but I don't think Chad is one of the two Cox is including in "those two in particular" since that comment seems to be specific to the defensive unit.

Tom McCartin. The full quote is 'Tom McCartin, as you said: Blakey'.

Merret cleared. No case to answer. Go figure when Melican cops 3 weeks for similar incident.

One's a Brownlow chance the other isn't. One high profile, one low profile.

I laugh when the news say " he only had eyes for the ball" . Where were Melican's eyes went he struck Bedford? His left eye socket? What a joke!
