Cox was the big positive we can take out of today's match! Showed some really nice poise in the contest, positioned himself well for the most part in ruck and general contests, and smashed his big frame into anyone that got in his way in marking contests.
I'm comfortable to state for the record I think that big Cox is going to make it in AFL. I think he has the ability to get to 100 games in AFL from what I've seen so far.
In fact, let's hope big Cox is already shacked up with a fine young lass and will procreate in the future!
I know I'm crystal balling a fair bit here, but imagine his progeny being selected as a father/son for the black & white 20 odd years from now. It would be quite an incredible story for the AFL and for Collingwood!

Massive upside to the big Seppo.
If this is what he can do after only coupla years in the game, imagine what he'll be like in 5.
He just seems to "get it". There were times on Sunday when it appeared as if his mind was way ahead of his current capabilities.
Just keep playing him and the rest will come

Very encouraging start to his career, a real highlight in an otherwise disappointing start to the season.
Will continue to add bulk to his frame, could become a real marking weapon in the forward line.

Agree, wasn't sure at the beginning but yeah this is a positive, he still has a way to go and at this point is showing real promise.

finally a two ruck combination that works. I think Grundy has been good also.
I recommend get him to 100 games and put him out to stud with Serena Williams. Those genes could produce something special.
Only the Chinese and maybe the Russians do that.

I'd go fantastic.
You're right he shows a lot of nous.
I'd suggest he's naturally intelligent, and then studied or really tried to "understand" football.
He's likely naturally adept at ball sports and ball sport smarts.
Most importantly he hadn't been taught bad habits which many of us can carry from child football.
It's fantastic but he might be one out of the box, footy smart wise.
Good on him.
(As an aside we can't attribute any of his development to the Club and especially not the coach, that's just not allowed
because they do nothing right, never have never will)

I just wonder why those smarts have not been passed on to the rest of the team by the coaching staff!I'd go fantastic.

Leave him one out in the goal square and just kick long at all times... Will eventually click and rip a game apart

Old habits die hard.
Besides if Mason was an Aussie playing as he had he'd be roasted on here anyway by some.
But he's just an intelligent guy

It wasn't just his athleticism and footy smarts (that run in board and handball inside was impressive) that stood out for me, but his effort. He really tried his arse off and didn't let himself get bullied. It's also the second time this year we have seen him worry and out point seriously good defenders in passages of play, Taylor in the NAB cup and McGovern yesterday who gave away a free for bodying up instead of attempting a mark. This from the best intercept mark in the competition. We've found a special player here.

Just play them and they will come
the smother.
I love his awareness. When in traffic he doesn't blaze away, he takes his time to pick the right option, and like another certain ex-basketballer on our list, he hasn't looked like getting caught.

Quite right there. They seem to be able to make space when guys like Greenwood and De Goey are panicking and turning it over with undisciplined hand balls or kicks.
Honestly, Greenwood in particular should be ashamed of his disposal in pretty much every game this season. If Cox can show poise and good skills under pressure in his 2nd game then Levi needs to start considering another career.
This is what happens when you inject smart people into game. They pick it up faster than the usual school kids. Well done big fella. Stick with us and there's a lot to look forward to.
The main thing he has to work on is preventing getting bumped under it in a marking contest but he will learn that with experience. NicNat did it to him a couple of times and he didn't see it coming.

I don’t think Serena would be happy with Chinese.
