I heard Tracc said Trump’s a crook. 

I just assumed from Tracc’s pointing that he was mimicking a famous moment in American history…

    I think in America, a certain swagger and showmanship is expected from their athletes, they sort of lap it up. But that's never really played well to an Australian audience - particularly if it's not backed up. We have sportsman who are shockingly arrogant people, and we have our flawed heroes like Warnie who endear themselves to the public through being atypical athletes.

    Americans also seem to speak with a mild contempt about Australia from time to time (although I think we can be a overly sensitive about it) and I think both of these things come through in Cox's on-field and off-field behaviour. I mean, compare it to the dozens of Irish imports who seem largely grateful for the opportunity to play AFL.

    As for the incident itself. Who knows? I trust Petracca wouldn't have crossed a line. I don't like that Cox felt the need to disclose that Trac had apologised. I also don't like his carry on after he kicked a goal on Gawn or his history of putting a knee into Gawn's back in marking contests.

    That all being said. I respect what he's achieved. I won't ever abuse him but I also don't like watching him and would prefer it if I didn't have to.

    So that's my thesis on why I find someone annoying. Goodnight people.

    Some hilarious speculation on Facebook that I happened to be sent tonight. Needless to say it was rubbish, but so bizarre and ridiculous, it had to be made up by a Collingwood supporter.

    I trust my eyes. Maynard pulls Cox away and hugs Trac. Enough said.

    Broad sweeping statement

    Cox is arrogant because he's arrogant, not because he's American.

    Plenty of arrogant AFL players, very few are American. Maybe its us Aussies who are arrogant!

    Cox has played 100 games in a tough sport that he did not grow up with. He's a good sportsman 

    None of us really know the detail behind their heated conversation

    Well said. Actually, I thought his game was pretty good on Monday.

    And Trac apparently apologised to Cox later, so maybe, just maybe he shot his mouth off to Cox in the thrill of a close finish.

    As I said, none of us know what really went on

    Funny how you can change an opinion on someone as actions speak louder than words as you say Jaded.

    I have changed my mind on Maynard also, sure he's thuggish and sees himslef as an enforcer - cue the Langdon incident, which didn't require much courage from him last year - and his attack on Joel Smith after the rundown by Joel (and huge kudos fo young JVR for flying thr flag bigtime), but Maynard's approach after the Cox incidnet was measured and thoughtful, dare I say professional getting involved and helping Max out.  Same goes for Pendles.

    I loved the way Trac just walked off and left Cox shouting after him.

    The Age today has 5 hypothectical responses Trac could let fly with that are both amusing and close to the truth  w.r.t. Cox.

    In Trac's head I suspect he moved on days ago.

    Cox played OK. Disposal very good by hand and foot. Was probably 2nd best big man on ground behind Max. By my count he is only behind 3 Irishmen for best import. Maynard is a goer and showed some maturity. Was a ripping game and I loved our method and effort. Can’t wait to a rematch (anytime) in the finals. Players brought the heat and we made some noise!

    Maynard has a good relationship with Melbourne players. His brother played for us.

    Also, he played for Vic Metro with Tracc and Gus in 2014. Those boys go way back.

    everything cox said in his podcast was a fallacy - no handshake, no apology, what happens on field stays on field

    he's a liar and comes across as a complete tool

    the fact that maynard had to pull him away says volumes

    I have the inside word that Cox took umbrage with Trac's TikToks - namely calling cilantro 'coriander' and referring to bell peppers as 'capsicum'. And the restraint shown by Big Mase for not even bringing up the complete lack of ribs, brisket or mac & cheese recipes speaks volumes of his character. I assume an official joint apology from the club and on.trac5 is imminent.

    Happy to:

    Page 42-43 of todays online edition. Don't now if its in the paper version.  I would have added one more - something about Trac's Norm Smith medal maybe.  But below is a cut and paste of the article

     

    "...ON THE COACH’S WHITEBOARD

    Before you go, here are ...

    Five key lines Snap Shot believes Demon Christian Petracca was entitled to say when giving Pie Mason Cox a bit of his own medicine after Melbourne beat the Magpies on Monday.

    Do you want to see my premiership medallion Coxy?

    60 Minutes might be a thrill for you but try playing 120 minutes for once mate.

    While Beverley Hills near Doncaster might not be Beverly Hills California, it’s better than Texas.

    Do you want me to get you Ben Simmons autograph?

    Gus and Gawny wallops the Mason Cox podcast IMO...."

    And his father played for us as well. Likely grew up a Dees supporter.

    Peter Maynard played 8 games in the 1970’s for us before going on to play around 200 games for Glenelg in the SANFL.

    • 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?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
