Coxy's emergence as our first ruck has seen him quickly become one of the very best ruckmen in the game.

Coulda/shoulda/woulda happened much earlier, but...

Sadly, someone else was clogging up that position. And the club insisted on trying to make a foreigner play the hardest position on the ground (key forward) instead of the easiest by far (for a foreigner).

Yeah people forget that AFL is a game of attrition in regards to injury accumulation and sheer work load over the years.

Big Mase has actually missed the best part of 2 seasons with eye issues as well as getting a late start.

Could easily play until 35 - injuries notwithstanding.

If I was psychic I would have done a 7-Up style doco from Mason’s beginnings to the flag. Plenty of archival video and interviews to put an awesome doco together!

Credit to the big fella.

I've been one of his biggest critics over the years, but he stepped up when it counted.

He made history being the first American to be a Premiership player.

First "US American", as some put it. (Second North American.)

“D-grade comedy at best”: Giants CEO fires back at Collingwood’s Cox

Cox, who’s never shy to speak openly, took to the X application to have a cheeky crack at GWS’ home base. “Round 1 NRL goes to Las Vegas. AFL premiers go to … A showground for livestock”, Cox posted on X in reference to Giants Stadium hosting the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

GWS Giants CEO Dave Matthews has fired back at Mason Cox in relation to a social media comment made by the Collingwood player....“I guess our players and fans are looking forward to giving him a warm welcome when he does get here (the Opening Round clash between the Giants and Pies), assuming he’s in the side.”
