Player Watch Mason Cox (Delisted 2025)

[stormskye]

Neither cox or Cameron are premiership winning forwards. It’s not so much cox or Cameron, but rather the fact we are playing rucks as KPF. I’m just so over it. And no doubt nothing will be done in the offseason. Our recruiting is a shambles. And we need to start fixing it ASAP

 

[No SPIN]

It’s also because Cox is so disliked, don’t know if it’s a hatred of America or what, but people just really don’t like him. So when Cameron actually looked ok for one qtr they jumped on the bandwagon and went all in so cant back out now.

Agree - the pathological dislike and obsession for wanting him to fail, shown by so many here is very unfortunate.

I think Mason has Cameron covered in almost every aspect. How many games does he need to trigger a new deal?

 

[OniAu]

Never understood the harsh mark Mason cops compared to others.

We have had JT run around for no goals for 6 weeks at one stage an WHE has been in and out of form. Cameron has shown signs but isnt streets ahead of COX

Feel like he is worth persisting with , although in late 20s? could play a few more years surely.

 

[stormskye]

The bigger issue is if we are hedging our future in cox or Cameron, we are not winning a flag. Neither are KPF. We need to move on from both.

He will kick multiple goals tonight

 

[Doc1763]

He will kick multiple goals tonight

Yeah, he'll kick two of our six

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Let’s hope North don’t have anyone who can put a body on Cox, so he can impact the game somewhat.

 

[Thefly38]

a third of the score is a good return

Both Tarrant and Walker are big bodies... hmm...

 

[pablo disco bar]

Wrong

Is it

 

[gouki88]

Is it

Undeniably. Great at getting clearances and gets the contested footy well. Also an elite user of the ball by hand. Needs work on his tank due to injury concerns

Amazes me how Cox cops crap yet Cameron seems to be the new saviour. He has been bog ordinary in most games.

Who's calling Cameron the savior?

 

[loki04]

Agree - the pathological dislike and obsession for wanting him to fail, shown by so many here is very unfortunate.

I think it stems from him being constantly pushed under the ball, non competes where he is out marked (despite people claiming otherwise because of his 1 handed attempts bringing it down), his inability to defend when it hits the deck, lack of leading and standing with arm in air which leads to lack of creating space etc, unreliable goal scorer.

Not sure what that has to do with him being American or dislike of him?

I wish he could get it all together but it's not looking likely given he hasn't made any real progress in these areas over 3 years.

Imo he would be successful as a first ruck given a full preseason training for it who occasionally pushes forward.

Love the bloke, hes had some incredible moments including getting us into a grand final with one of the best performances ive ever seen.
Also applaud the club for trying something different and it has, to some extent, worked, at least better than what anyone wouldve predicted.
Thats why i hate to say it, but the next three or four games are Coxy's last chance. Needs to really give us something.

 

[xInfected_Virus]

He needs pure bluntness from Bux that if you don't perform then we'll be going after Wright or Brown but if you do perform well then we'll reconsider.

Cox and Cameron will have either Tarrant or McKay for company you’d imagine. I rate Tarrant. Haven’t seen enough of McKay to know.

I see an injury prone player who has played 21 games in 5 seasons

 

[TradeDraft]

Was better in last Qtr when he Actually played in Front and not Behind.

Still far from sold on him for Next Year

Some positive signs today, but still not enough. Needs to back it up and improve next week.

 

[eddiesmith]

Was better than Cameron which isn’t hard, but was good to see his teammates get behind him, even if the coach hates him

Spot On. Needs to Back It Up and Not be Shit again

Cameron had 3 hit outs though. Would've lost without those.

 

[gouki88]

Gotta say, playing together Cox looked better. I think they’re somewhat dysfunctional, but Cox has edged him out for now. Checkers should come in for Cameron - they’re a good pairing.

Cox is definitely better playing deep forward. If he can throw his body around we’re golden

 

[PendlePie]

Better in Q4 when the game was done.

Offered more than Cameron, and I don't even know what to make of that.

Our F50 work is absolutely woeful (kicking i50, forwards competing and putting pressure on, all of it). Cox is shit but so are most of them currently.
