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.

    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?

    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?

    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.

    30 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.
