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 

Any x  Ruckman would notice just how much crap Max has to put up with, and Cox's idea about going in sideways with your knees out in front of you doesn't seem to catch the ire of maggots either. The advantage in Max is his height/physique, what is he expected to do, stoop down to the same height?

These people actually adjudicate the game, yet they seem to be happy to bring shame on the game by penalizing continuously  ball players, and which cannot be said for opposition that target quite openly special players.

That’s about 100,000 likely suspects! Will never be solved.

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.”

 

 

Deport Him

Being a Colinwood player, they're probably on top of his head.

Dual citizenship so we can deport behalf of him

Best way to get even with this guy is to do it out on the ground, show him up for the muppet that he is by beating him and his team.

Just go to Specsavers Beagle Boy🤪

Send half his brain to Hawaii and give the other half to de Goey. 

I hope I never hear the USA USA chant ever again.  Almost as bad as the moaning answer to the question “which body part of your most often holds your daddy’s willie”?  Colon Would, Colon would….

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
