Tell the Dons to go take a hike, WE put all the work into Mason, lots of hard work, we did the hard yards. They can bugger off, they have Daniher anyway.!

The myth that Cox had a three figure salary lined up in the USA is a lie. The starting salary for his profession is 48,000!

He had the potential to earn a three figure salary but this would be 20 years experience.

You don’t just walk into a three figure salary after college.

My tip is: Win the lottery.

Isn't a three figure salary like $100 a year? A job in Africa or Asia?

Cox averages just over 2 contested marks per game , exactly the same as Tom Lynch. in 2018 he took the second most in the league. (Jenkins averages 1.2)

He also has a better hot out to advantage % than Grundy, he's in the top 6 against Ruckmen.

His career average is only 1.2 goals per game, but he's only played 58 games.

Basically, he's far from a spud and I think he can still improve. He's learning all the time so while his skills may not get better his decision making can.

Unless a 23yr old Pebbles or Trav Cloke suddenly leap out of the Spa at the Holden Centre (in which case Checkers goes back to the VFL) he's the best key forward we have.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Hawthorn wanted Cox last year.
Why? Fairly obvious. To win another flag.
Like they did with bloody Hale: useless big gangly bastard at North became a premiership player.
Keep and utilise him to advantage.!!!!!!!!!!!!
With his size and height it's not €¥£•>*+^ rocket science.

Coxy and Bucks are in the USA currently they have been to the Dallas Cowboys match. Mason is originally from dallas they were interviewed on the US ESPN live cross on the ground prior to the match its on the Collingwood fc facebook page. They sounded positive.What are the other reports of the other players I feel this is the time of the year they all go on their long awaited annual holiday.

Mason's eyes still look a little wonky compared to pre-injury photos.

I can barely understand a word Mason Cox says. I find that with quite a few people where English is their second language.
