He surprised plenty the way he picked up the game including myself and like most of us that final against Richmond will remain etched in my memory especially the Yankee swagger lol im sure Mason will continue to kick goals wherever his career takes him next
 
Will miss Mason’s mum and dad too. Loved how dad Phil embraced the club’s history and culture. He even stood with the cheer squad on one occasion- to help with the banner! I recall Darcy Moore being a bit surprised to see him there LOL. How could you not love that?
His mum and dad might be shedding a few tears today. :(
 
Sad to see Cox go, i really hope he stays involved in the game as a boundary line commentator or something
Too right. I find Cox entertaining, which is far more than I find a lot of the commentators. Be good for footy.

We share the same family name as big Mase, and my now 6yo daughter and I used to cheer on ‘Coxy’. Sometimes after a game when putting her to bed my daughter would say “We are all Coxys, too!” Was stupid but kinda sad knowing that we won’t be able to cheer him on together in 2026.

I’ll never forget that 2018 Prelim!
 
Onya coxy. 139 games is a great effort. Became more of a ruckman over the years but always had a crack. Essendon need a vet ruckman i hear......
 
Farewell Giant Slayer!
The 2018 preliminary Final was one of the most amazing games I have ever seen and I've seen many over the decades. Mason's performance that night has become legendary; he almost single-handedly tore the cup from Richmond and it was glorious.
He'll always be a Premiership Hero and part of me, the selfish part, wants him to hang up the boots. He loved the club and its supporters and it would be sad to see him play before the passive, band-wagon supporters of Geelong, or the miniscule crowds of St.Schoolgirl, North and Melbourne. Retire a Pie-Hero Mason!
 
Pardon the intrusion. I just wanted to say well done on a great career, Mason Cox. I've always been impressed by him; I think he's a great story for so many reasons.

He's had a great career, hopefully he can be the reason many others across the world embrace our great game and increase internationals being successful in the AFL.

Great story.
Great player.
Even better human.
I’ll miss Mase.
I’ll especially miss the bit of swagger he produced when he was on.
Great career and a deserving premiership hero
 
Who is the back up in place of Cox? Let's say Cameron does an ankle and is missing round one. Is Steene going to carry the ruck duties along with a bloke whose played 10 games as a forward?

We have plenty of ruck depth:
  • Cameron
  • Steene
  • Frampton
  • McStay
  • Buller
  • Smit

Sure, Cox would have made our ruck depth even deeper, and he would be ahead of a few on that list. But we only have limited list spots and we need to wean ourselves off the older players. We had 10 of 30+ year olds playing this year. Even with Cox, Mitchell and WHE gone, that’ll go up to 12 because we have a number of 29 yo players that are about to turn 30.

Club’s having quite the clear out. Brutal, but has to happen. Doesn’t stop me from being a bit emotional about it.☹️

It was the right time, VP.

He achieved more than most and is walking away from the club as a Collingwood premiership hero.

Onwards and upwards for the great man.
