Player Watch Mason Cox

[didaksrightfoot]

I've decided it may be best to play Cox.
Expose him as never before.
His contract is up so it's time to actually see what he has to offer.
And the next three weeks can show that.

Surely this.

Cox's primary position is clearly as a ruckman. Now that Grundy is out we have the option to throw him in there full time and see what he's got. So far he hasn't shown to be consistently AFL quality that Fwd/Ruck position, but a good run in the ruck will give the Club (and Mason) an idea of how much he can provide at AFL level.

Be good to see Cox go in the ruck.
I'll be interested in his second efforts around the ground too.
He might surprise and have good staying power.
With his height he should really satisfy what we need in the ruck.
A nice substitute for grundy

Well if we don't play Mason with Grundy out what's the point in having him in the first place, right..

I'm not sure about exposing Cox.

Depends on the circumstances...

 

[Brad Goodman]

Will be interesting to see how he goes. He is actually a better pure ruckman than Grundy, but the pace of the game may find him wanting in open play.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Depends on the circumstances...

And circumcision.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Trade him.. while he's got currency.

He's s**t.

 

[Black_White]

And circumcision.

Someone had to go that step over the line....

Ok but I am sort of looking forward , possibly stupidly to see how he goes for a whole game

Prepare for 5 minutes of ch7 worthy brilliance.
And two hours of country footy standard play.
But that five minutes will drive the conversation.

Unfortunate for you.
Luckily, I will continue to spread the righteous word for you to follow.

Maybe the murdoch empire will spot you & release your pearls of wisdom to the masses

Slobbo he ain't.

Sounds more like an Age writer.
Not that anybody much reads the old girl anymore.

 

[Good_Old]

If we're exposing Cox, I hope it's not a cold day.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Does he shrink in the cold

Off topic, I know, but the Age has become a shadow of what it once was with all those syndicated artiles from teh Washington Post...but it's Independent Always apparently

Independently biased yes.

Why don't newspapers just admit they are biased to whatever side, and then get on with it?

 

[jmac70]

Great opportunity for Cox to earn a contract extension

 

[Apex36]

People are quick to jump on Cox when he plays poorly, but he deserves some credit for today's game. 43 hitouts, 6 marks and 2.1 is exactly what you want from a giant ruckman like him. He might not have gotten a lot of the ball but he made the most of his opportunities today.

 

[whiskeytown]

Quality today....

But puts us back to the 2 ruckmen dillema we had with Grundy and Witts.

Can take a good overhead mark unlike the former two.... but no room in the same team for Grundy, Cox and Moore in his best position as a HF and 2nd ruck.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Gun player must retain

 

[Robroy22]

If he's made this much progress in 2 years (ie Challenging our Best Ruckman and a potential AA Ruckman for a spot in the team) imagine what he'll be like in another 2 years?
Teach him to play forward...do the same to Grundy and then let em loose.

 

[Vicky Park]

We have to keep Mason. Seeing him take marks and kick goals today - he has something going on, to complement his extreme height. While I question his innate footy sense, he may still make it without this.
