Mason Cox from the US

[Scotty_222]

He's not in Adelaide atm, he's in Melbourne.

The North game is at Kardinia Park.....................

I'd say the fact we have a US player already helps quite a bit.

y do u need another one?

3 minute video of his time at North training sesh. Fair Agile for someone thats 211. Also surprised he never considered playing BBall till he was spotted by a coach at Uni.

Probably for the same reason every other side is looking at him.

Why not?

Wallace has progressed to the #1 ruck for North Ballarat in the VFL. He's no longer complete project player, he's just a developing player these days.

Cox takes up no list spots, no salary cap and he's a rare height, we see one of these blokes every 5-10 years. Witts is the last comparable one.

I thought the only downside is clubs have to pay relocation expenses, wage, all that stuff with no assistance from afl.

Surprised a wealthy club like west coast aren't looking at him

I'm not sure that is the case. Eric Wallace is an AFL ambassador, he definitely gets coin for that.......

Well Collingwood is the Only Rich Club looking at him and I think we have the Advantage of getting him with the Great Facilities and if Needed we could add a Few $$$ to get him over the Line

Won't be much. Can't kick, can't handball and would get out muscled by anyone

Well when you takes these Types, At the Start they would look like Headless Chickens but at 211cm and the way he moves it’s bit hard not to pass up and in his 1st Season he is a Free Hit

Would be worth a go, but not at pick 1-20.

He would not even be on the Normal List and won’t effect who is on the List or Draft Picks

Looks like a Very Exciting Prospect

I would like to see the AFL allow Clubs to recruit theses project players without it costing them a position on their list nor their salary as well.

Surely this is for the betterment of the game.

 

[woofles]

Not interested, ball handling is pretty awful and would need years to put on enough mass. Look at Ayce Cordy, the guy grew up playing the game and it's taken him 6 years to get even close to physically developed- destroying his body in the process.

they do sit outside the list management, you can have up to 2 then after that if you want more they need to go on your list. You also pay there salary for the 2 outside the salary cap

We have a Yank as a president.

Great to hear Wallace is doing well at Ballarat, was wondering what he was doing. Can he actually get a game for North Melbourne this year being an international Rookie? I don't know the rules.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

He scored 7 points in his 3 year college basketball career.

Lol

 

[Whoopy42]

He joined a D1 team in a major conference as a walk-on, most of those guys never get playing time to begin with. Once you add in the fact that he hadn't played basketball before university, I'd say it's pretty amazing he played at all.

I'd expect a college basketballer to be alright, but this guy was hardly that. Warmed the bench and if you struggle at basketball you'd have no chance in the AFL

He'd never played basketball before getting to college. It's a bit different.

Exactly. He was actually a soccer player for his junior life.

What are you talking about ? It's already a free hit. International rookies are additional list spots and rookies can be paid any amount of money.
