Sounds like Blair.stui magpie wrote:Dude, we're Collingwood.

Moore's played 14 games, so far, all but one of which have been less impressive than Cox's and Moore is still The Anointed One. So, I think it takes a bit longer than 10 weeks, although Mason might get a bit less leeway than Moore if you factor in the extent of general anti-American sentiment and the absence of a famous father. He's probably right until (when/if) The Weed Mk III kicks 5 goals for Melbourne.stui magpie wrote: Definitely the story, one of those feel good ones.
Statistically he did no better than either Witts or Grundy have done in the same role but in his first game and a big win when we'd been crying out for a win, he showed that most horrible word, potential.
Give him 10 games and when he hasn't gone from showing potential to turning into Paul Salmon reincarnated you'll have people howling for his head and calling him a failure and a dud.
The incredible Oompa.

I demand to know where the poster E is? He predicted that Cox wouldn't ever play a senior game because Americans cant kick or something like that.....
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

There's an article on the AFL website about every club's ruckman and back up ruckmen. Cox gets a mention and a pic: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-04-27/t ... ckmen-rate

Lazza you have a good memory. I remember E expressing a view along those lines. Generally I agree with a lot of his posts but as we see is slightly off on our big Cox! I think Mason has surprised many skeptics in the last year! And his development, being so rapid, has shocked even the most hardened footy supporters. You can't help but be excited at what he will bring to the table from now. He just didn't make a mistake!! I just loved that knock on to Steel and some physicality he is showing in contests those second and third efforts just the tonic we need. They seem so instinctive something that usually comes from having played the game at an early age. If this bloke hangs on to a few more marks we are in for some joyous times!!Lazza wrote:I demand to know where the poster E is?

Coxy is a breath of Fresh Air for us all.
When anyone imagines the dedication Mason Cox has displayed to achieve all he has can only admire him. The effort he makes to get to every contest in his area is an example to everyone and a favourite of the Magpie Army. I believe Brodie will be able to improve his output with the knowledge and example of Coxy with his enthusiasm and "never give up attitude" that gives confidence to all.
Happiness is being a Collingwood Football Club Member! Euphoria is watching the Pies win the Premiership!

Cox might be the Best Tap Ruckman because of his Height but gets lost in the Midfield after the Ruck Contestswoop42 wrote:I said last year it wouldn't surprise me if Cox was our best tap ruckman before this season is out and nothing so far will make me change that view.
Importantly though I think he projects as being our most capable ruck forward and this will allow us to play him and Grundy together.
He's only going to get better.

The USA is the Greatest Country in the World (a Cox thread)
Seriously, how f'n great is the United states when a mediocre athlete (by US standards) comes to our country and becomes the dominant force at the highest level of our most important sport within 2 years.
Could you imagine how dominant the best athletes in the United States would be at Aussie Rules if there was enough money in the sport to get them to try AFL?
More Cox please!
