Player Watch Mason Cox

[Apex36]

Nah they said he needs to show some American guy around instead of playing footy.

No, he was rested because of soreness. It was after that, that he was given permission by the club to meet the US Vice President and accompany him to a game.

Stop making things up to suit your narrative.

Yeh he's had a great past 2 months.. developing great.

By any reasonable measure he had a breakout year for a guy who is so new to the game. Your attitude towards him says more about you than his development as a player.

 

[Stoods]

TG, are the opinions you put on this board your actual opinions or do you do it to troll?

I legit dont know

 

[CLUBMEDhurst]

Core strength is what he needs to develop.
Not strong enough physically in marking contests.
Get's that right and he'll be a marking machine

Praise for him should've been 4 months ago. Fact is he finished the season poorly. Club partly to blame.

Anybody paying attention could see that Cox was sore towards the end of the season. His fitness will improve with another strong preseason.

You never cease to amaze TG.

I thought his post just prior to the one you quoted was far more amazing

I wonder what he means by Australian Citizenship? He hasn't been here that long.

 

[jmac70]

Why is he hugging MagpieBat?

Not the first time he's mentioned it. Seem to remember him saying he was applying on a TV interview at one time

He's only human.

 

[whiskeytown]

With another preseason I think Cox will get an extended run as a 2nd forward/ruck this year. He will provide a great second target and assist Moore greatly

Thanks for the sane reply Jmac

Brilliant

 

[ThePhantom777]

17 goals in 11 games. If he can stay injury free and have AFL level fitness, he could kick 40+ next season.

For those wondering, the normal requirements are 4 years residing in Australia before you're eligible for citizenship. There are legislated variations that can shorten this period. Unlikely he would qualify. But there's nothing to stop him from getting his paperwork together now to gain dual citizenship. It takes a fair bit of work and time and he seems keen, so good on him.

I just didn't think he would qualify yet.

Can there be Special Cases?

heh, was just about to post something along those lines...surely that's MB's new avatar?

Got a feeling there's one set of rules for plebs and another for celebrities/sports people. may not be written, but you can bet it's there somewhere

I really hope this is how it goes. I think he certainly has the potential to be a genuine force at AFL level.

 

[Maggie5]

They are lucky that they can have dual citizenship.

Think that Dynamics explained it well although I think sports people are treated differently which is wrong.
Think we may have had some people go to the Olympic and maybe a cricketer but I could be wrong.
