He's tall (over 210cm) and quick (possibly the quickest AFL player ever at his height). The downside is that he's an American who's never played the game.
Also, this is the first time clubs have competed for an international signing, and only clubs who had been overseas to the tryouts were allowed to bid (5 clubs I think). So, we have finally landed a big fish. _________________ Well done boys! |

There's only 1 cox for me, and his name is Shannon.
Can't tell me his silky smooth skills would not be valuable this weekend! _________________ "The last thing he expected WAS THE FIRST THING HE GOT!!!!!"

No problem taking a punt on Mason Cox as we need help in the ruck and at F/F. But what we really need are more big bodied mids, like those of Olli Wines at Port Adelaide. Watching Port kill off Carlton last night they are the types of players we desperately need at Collingwood if we are to go anywhere next year. |

For a guy nearly 7ft, he has remained invisible, no pics, no news stories, maybe he has done a hammy and we are hiding it? |

Got hands on him like wicket keepers gloves
Can already bounce the ball and look natural. I saw some of his initial highlights reel, he can jump and ruck. Shows some promise as a ruckman without being coached, can only get better with coaching. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Nothing more for you to see here.

last time I checked people were able to change teams. If you think the club is a joke, maybe going for a different team would work for you. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Witts was a NSW scholarship player IIRR, again not a very efficient system but it's paid off once, it's cost us little but money and extra coaching resources (which we have) so I don't see the down side

This was correct when Brown26 said it in May and it remains correct, now. Sometimes reading threads on this BB is like watching Groundhog Day. |

I reckon he's gunna make it. If he can model his tap work on Sandilands and bulk up he's a chance. _________________ 'Collingwood are the Bradmans of Football'
