More of a 'The Thick of It' man myself.

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.

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?

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.

Surely this is reportable.

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.

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.

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.

    PODCAST: Jason Taylor Interview

    I'm interviewing the Melbourne Football Club Recruitment Manager Jason Taylor early next week on the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about moving up the draft order, our new recruits (both Draftees and Trades), Daniel Curtin, our recent recruits who have yet to play a senior game, who he thinks will be the next Judd McVee and more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast either Monday or Tuesday.

    TOO LITTLE TOO LATE by Meggs

    It was a hot afternoon at IKON where the ferocious Cats came to play, had read the manual on how to beat us and the Demons were unable to match them for the first three quarters.     With physical pressure, they took the game on with relative ease and though our resistance seemed better than the previous two weeks it was still not good enough.     Within the opening minute, Kate Hore marks within range, but her shot was a miss-kick, like a fat iron, and it kinda set a flat tone f

    TURNAROUND by Meggs

    Following successive comprehensive defeats by fellow Top Four heavyweights the Demons play down a division this Sunday against the highly promising Cats.     Strangely, no games against the Cats for five seasons and now we play them twice in one season.     With the blueprint on how to defeat the Dees available on the dark web the real question is, will we crumble again under the finals pressure cooker or will we rediscover our #DemonSpirit and execute a turnaround?   Mak

    THE SECRET IS OUT by Meggs

    We were expecting that after last week’s comprehensive defeat by Brisbane, our coach Mick Stinear would have his charges coming out breathing finals fire. Instead, it was North who had the aggression, the numbers, who blocked our scoring avenues and rendered us impotent, unable to match the Kangas during any phase of the match.   Darren Crocker, the North coach, later highlighted that how to beat Melbourne is no secret following recent losses to Adelaide and Brisbane and now North.

    CATCH EM ON THE HOP by Meggs

    A sunny Sunday afternoon feast of finals footy awaits at our team’s favourite home ground, Ikon Park.  Great vibes at Princes Park where we remain undefeated from 7 matches and counting. Expect the Dees to come out strongly, sparring and outmuscling the Kangaroos in the middle.  With Paxy back firing and our gun forwards mesmerising, hopefully we catch ‘em on the hop. Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane have filled ten of the twelve Grand Final spots in AFLW history, and this dominance

    COLD AGGRESSION by Meggs

    “Cold aggression”, Lions star full forward Dakota Davidson called it. Brisbane outmuscled, outran, and ultimately overwhelmed us. They certainly came to play and exorcised their 2022 grand final grudge defeating the Demons in the rematch by 25 points. Stats count and Brisbane won the key ones. Inside 50s 42 to 24, centre clearances 8 to 6, uncontested possessions 133 to 75 and 51 marks to 27. The Lions’ sustained pressure is the kind we usually bring for other teams.   There

    HOME PRIZE by Meggs

    Big stakes this weekend. For the winner, will it be a Dees minor premiership and potential home grand final or will it be a Lion‘s Top Four finish and a double chance?    Huge interest circulates in the how the ladder unfolds over this weekend’s final round of the 2023 home and away season with some 10 teams vying for 8 places.     It’s AFLW Pride Week, a celebration of people from all walks of life coming together, being respected, loved and accepted.

    WICKED WIND by Meggs

    Hang out to your hats. The strong blustery conditions made it extremely difficult for either team to execute footy skills but nonetheless an entertaining match ensured for those brave enough to venture down to Casey Fields on Saturday. Impressive Irish player Aine Tighe was a late withdrawal for Freo. Maddie Gay was also a late change, and she was replaced with 19 year-old Georgia Gall, the 6-foot ex Melbourne Stars BBL cricketer who has been impressing the coaches in scrimmage games.
