Player Watch Mason Cox (Delisted 2025)

[Jelly Bean]

An open letter to our Lord big Maso.
As an original disciple of the Cox Cult I'd like to express my delight that providence has gifted you a 2 Month patch to show us all that the Cox Cult is a real thing. Our Lord, we as your devoted followers implore you to prepare yourself accordingly, practice your set shots and pack marks and rehearse your goal celebrations. We still have a large chunk of big footy forum contributors to convert to the truth. This is your time, even when McStay gets back he'll be underdone so the rest of the season is yours to shape, Collingwoods destiny is prophesized in the Cox Cult book of revelations - a premiership cup with the opposition ruckman totally bamboozled on a beautiful spring afternoon after being double teamed by You and DC.

Agree with this, and I'd also be writing an open letter to Tim Membrey. He has currently been a fringe key forward for us (although we've opted for him to be in more than out), but he's got the chance to really solidify his position in our forward line by being a dangerous marking target. If he can be good for 16-20 goals over the 8 weeks where McStay is out with a couple of bags of 4+ goals, he will earn himself a spot in the finals team. If not, then he is still subject to the team's 2nd ruck decision.

I used to bag the shite out of the Cox scenario posting even if Cox makes it, it will be for a year or two and then he'll be lost to the game. Ironically, I now see Cox as a smart, experienced footballer that knows his limitations and knows what to do and when to do it. Egg on my face......CFC will lean on him now.

once he retires, we'll all appreciate what an incredible story his career actually is.

First kick, first goal on ANZAC Day
Neal Daniher Medal
Almost single handedly saved our precious 4-peat from being equaled
Premiership player and involved in one of the greatest passages of play in our history.

you couldn't make it up.

Needs to start clunking marks. Too many times the ball bounced off his hands on Saturday night. If you are six ten playing on a perfect dry night, you can't end the game with ZERO contested marks.

Apart from 1 game in 2018, that has been the story of his career until now. Sorry to break it to you, but it ain’t going to change now.
Further to that, since his detached retina injury, he has struggled more so in night games.

Bring back the golf glove! He was clunking his marks with that on.

That's not true though, is it?

Even last year, Cox had games with 5, 4, 3 and 3 contested marks. Three of those 4 were night games. So he can do it, and done so recently.

Those were the good ones - we can work with those. He's there to provide an aerial contest; it's the countless times he just gets pushed away and doesn't get anywhere near the contest that is the killer for big Mase.

 

[northcotehead]

Poor kicking for goal from our stars decided the trajectory of the Cox Cult. We kick straight and Ice the game in the third and the Cox inclusion is considered a sound one, Jordys fitness is not an issue and the Howey resting is a forward looking Master-stroke.

I may have exaggerated things a bit but you know what I’m talking about.

I said it the game day thread. he is twisting one hand in the hand and isn't "clunking" the ball. I reckon he started doing it a year or 2 ago.

 

[manicpie]

C'mon Coxy. We really need you to have a big game

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

I love Mase but he was back to being a bit like the tall inflatable man you see at car dealerships on Sat.
Flailing all over the place.

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

Another inept game

I don't know. Played his role, hit the scoreboard. Yeah sure would've liked to hold some of those marks, but definitely wasn't rhe worst player out there.

 

[Deathray]

Big body, gave great contests all game. Darcy has ten times his talent, takes up ten times the Dockers salary cap and people still wanna bag Cox.

and at the moment, who do we play in his place?

Insightful commentary. Why haven't one of the TV or radio stations signed you up yet?

Enjoy the fabulous win mate couldn't wait. 5 mins after the game bagging someone after a win like that. Sad.

That’s the only thing keeping him in atm.

Very good depth, you would agree?

 

[mocamagic]

Another inept game

Far from inept.
He played a role and was a contributor.

 

[Kirby]

Very good depth, you would agree?

Yes he is, as a ruck.

He’s frustrating but I am glad we have him.

 

[Kreme Pie]

Like last week, did some great things in the first half, then made some bad mistakes in the second half.

Gets pushed under/off the ball a bit more now than he used to. Also, he’s dropping too many marks he gets two hands to. Gotta clunk em again big Cox!

 

[gouki88]

He was serviceable tonight, after a rough start where Freo got on top. Pearce didn’t kill us the way he could have if Cox didn’t halve some contests
