[quote="burnsy17"]He’s played over 15 games in a season ONCE in his 5 seasons at Collingwood....

But let’s use that one OUTLIER season to predict his future output

How many years has he played more than 15 games????

Mason averages a goal every 4 kicks, over his career. It's a pity we can't get him 12 kicks a game.

Cox - goal every 4.14 kicks
A Rocca - goal every 4.41 kicks

interesting article on AFL about Cox probably wearing glasses in 2022 after 6 eye surgeries https://www.afl.com.au/news/697322/eyes ... ok-in-2022

I applaud Cox for giving the eyeware a chance.
If he feels more confident attacking the ball and it improves his vision, then the club can only be better for it.
Last bloke I remember who wore them regularly was Geoff Blethyn. Have I missed anyone ?

Tony Southcombe from Carlton. Anyone else?

6 eye surgeries in 3 years..........I hope he's allowed to wear them.

A few umpires needed them.

I hope at night games he comes out dancing to " Sunglasses After Dark".

I'd prefer to see him wearing a single monicle so he could be our giant one-eyed Cyclops!

As a kid growing up in Essendon I remember going to a game at Windy Hill where Blethyn took about 4 great marks. A couple were mark of the year contenders from memory. I don't remember the year and I can't find much video online but I think it must have been late 60s early 70s

That time line is about right. He was a good player and remained their spearhead for a number of years. The VFL / AFL players who adorned glasses ( Tony Southcombe was a good get ) and helmets sit alongside each other with equal standing at any sports trivia night.
I imagine it will be great for Cox confidence, if nothing else. I could completely understand anyones apprehension returning back to a game that nearly cost him his eyesight a year earlier. Those players who come back after losing a kidney and risk being on dialysis for the rest of their lives are in a league of their own for courage ( McKenna, Newman, Lonergan etc )
