As for Mason, he is a total Cox Head. 

Mentioned his slagging us off in 2018 on Twitter after getting thumped by the Eagles,

As Kane Cornes said last night, the Pies have done nothing to celebrate this year like they do until they get it done in September.

Sure we have some issues, but I see steady improvement line from the Brisbane game, and a few slip ups but the trajectory is in the right direction to get to a Prelim.

Oliver and Viney won't let the Blues game slip like last Friday night.

Was Toby Green suspended for his karate kick/ mark a few years back?

That was studs up into the face. 

The good news is with Grundy out for the year, we will get a likely opportunity for payback in the finals. 

Viney should rip his goggles off. Too far?

Reminiscent of Bruce Doull’s headband. 😖

Max gets that treatment every week.

Given the amount of publicity that Mason Cox attracts, I was stunned to find out he wasn't a dual Brownlow Medallist, five time premiership player and All Australian regular. 

He certainly a different cat big Cox - certainly super nice and engaging to talk to away from footy.

unfortunately everyone from every club gets stuck into Max - knees to the guts, off ball blocks, shoves and very rarely gets gets any umpire protection. What annoys me more is our players don’t seem to notice it just like the umps, I think it’s Max just gets up and goes along like nothing happened. If he was my teammate I’d be flying the flag and getting stuck into anyone that touches him. We don’t and it’s a blight on us

Oh he's a nice guy, I'm sure butter wouldn't melt in his mouth!

Just kidding, looking for reasons to hate him. I'm sure he's alright.

I wouldn't say our boys didn't respond immediately after the Cox kneeing. Looked pretty fiery I thought. We don't want them all getting reported do we?

Haha nothing to decipher here, just a random name I like to use sometimes. 

If nothing else you could say he's a Vin Diesel try hard!

Just came up on Fox sports news on my phone.

Apparently someone has Brocken into Cox's apartment and stolen his goggles !!!!!!!

Classic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surely this is reportable.

Cox was warned in the pies blues game to keep his knees down. I hope this is something the umpires now focus on in the finals.

Apparently not (if you are enough of a 'celebrity' and play for the right club.)

cox's 'knees out' at the contest is, imo, not reportable BUT it should be a free kick every time he does it

When his first action is to deliberately stick his knees into someone’s guts with force it’s reportable. Just as bad as dropping knees to a player on the ground. Sooner or later if players are allowed to continue with this tactic we will see players with injuries like broken ribs, punctured lungs, internal bleeding, ruptured spleen, kidney damage or worse. I hate to see a new generation of kids doing this because they learned it from watching AFL.

Serial offender! Did it multiple times on Queen's Bday and again when we played them a few weeks ago. That is a suspension every day of the week, unduly rough play to try and knee an opponent in the ribs who is running at the footy. He is not jumping at the footy he is blatantly trying to knee his opponent to injured them.

Absolute [censored], Collingwood seem full of them.

Yep I heard that when listening to the 2nd quarter on the radio - umpire clearly warned him to keep his knee down. It's happened multiple times before let's see if he listens and if the AFL do anything about it.

His knee up “technique” is such a bad look and terrible for the game, said it time and time again needs weeks for it. It’s a dog act and shows how terrified he is if the contest. As mentioned above imagine what happens when it causes a serious injury to a player contesting within the rules. 

There was another earlier in the year against the Lions that was the crudest one I've seen.
Looked like he was flying through the air with some Kung Fu Matrix move with the sole intent to drive his knee into the opponents back.
Funnily enough I couldn't find any vision but here's what I did find.
King and Cornes discussing the incident.

 

Collingwood tall Mason Cox has also come under fire for planting his knee into the back of Brisbane defender Brandon Starcevich.

Cornes says Cox’s “crude” act is a “reportable offence” that should be looked at by Match Review Officer Michael Christian.

“I thought that was deliberate, I thought it was late and when we’re looking at the ability to cause a significant kidney injury or a fracture of the back, that was that,” he said.

“This guy is a weapon out there – he’s 211cm with a pointy knee driving it into the back of an opponent who is helpless who’s done the right thing to go back with the flight of the ball, all the things we love about the sport.

“He’s got there really late with a knee, he’s lucky that there was no damage done. It has to be (a reportable offence).

“It’s every bit worse than what Gardiner did and it was one of the most crude things I’ve seen on the footy field this year – late, deliberate, aggressive and the ability to cause significant harm.

“I reckon he’ll get a fine, that’s what I’m nervous about, and I think Gardiner will get a fine too. I’m usually on the players’ side, I lean to the players because I understand how difficult this game is to play … I’m not leaning with the players on either of these.

“I hope they get one week and I wouldn’t be upset, particularly with Mason Cox, if he got two.

King also weighed in on the Cox incident: “This is a man who couldn’t mark the ball on this occasion, the ball was dropping ahead of him getting to the contest.

“He doesn’t even compete with his arms, he gives up with his hands, he’s not marking the ball, but still chooses to stay angular with his knee and he knows he’s going to make significant trauma to the ribcage of his opponent.

“This is if not one week, it is more.”

AFL are really weak cleaning up cheap acts, until someone gets really hurt then they act. A bit like concussion response.

Cox takes lots of cheap shots and is being let off Scott free!

Max gets hit in head so often it’s embarrassing - he must have a hard skull - he is given zero protection.
