Mason Cox may not be the best footballer going around the AFL, but he seems to be one of the best people playing. Collingwood is blessed to have him on the team. Looking forward to him being back on the track and contributing to the team again.
People love to hate opposition players. Leave it on the field, 99% of players are nice people. Mason has got a few of my friends who despised him now loving him.
IMO Cox's weakness was, and I say was, his overhead contested marking. Opposition defenders always had his measure, chopping and generally just putting him off balance. I see that area of his game has improved dramatically in the off season and I expect to see him to dominate when he returns to the team. Play him closer to goal, allow Checkers, Elliot, de Goey, et al to play up the ground more and deliver the ball into F50. It's going to be even more exciting to watch.
Terrific fella. Met him years ago at a dinner and he kindly went on his knees to be down at my level to speak with me and a mate - just a thoughtful person.
