Take_a_Screamer wrote:“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.
Can't handle Cox's point and the Giants CEO comes out with an 'E' grade comment.

AND if his not in the side, it's because the Premiership Medal around his neck has caused him stiffness.

Why Mason Cox is jealous of the NRL, stands by AFL fixture criticism
Cox had no intention of blowing things up, he was merely saying something he felt was true...“I didn’t realise there were that many people paying attention to it,” he said on SEN 1170.

Don Pyke from the Weagles, but he's different. He was born in the USA to an Australian family who were there for work and moved back to Aus when he was 4. So he grew up here.

Mike Pyke who played for Sydney is Canadian.

The players who were born in America and played AFL are Mason Cox, Sandford Wheeler (Swans) and Jason Holmes (St. Kilda).

^ Strictly, Shae didn't play "AFL" unless you count pre-season matches. He never made the seniors for a regular game.

Wheeler was like Don Pyke, born in America with an Australian father and came to Australia as a pre-schooler.

Cox and Holmes are the only 2 mature age recruits from the USA to have played Snr AFL football. Coxy is unique in that he's played 100 games and is a premiership player. Even Mike Pike had played Rugby for Canada so he'd had some experience handling an Oval ball and was an athlete before he came to play for Sydney. Cox was a paid Engineering student at College, not a notable athlete, not on an athletic scholarship, who got a gig on the college basketball team on the strength of him being fkn tall after being a practice dummy for the Womans team.

It's a hell of a story.

Which is a shame.

But how could he though? Was on the 2010-2011 list with Cloke, Dawes, Jolly, Fraser, and others all in front of him.

I thought he could at least have played 50 games, and probably would have at another club.
