How many years has he played more than 15 games????

Mason averages a goal every 4 kicks, over his career. It's a pity we can't get him 12 kicks a game.

Cox - goal every 4.14 kicks
A Rocca - goal every 4.41 kicks

interesting article on AFL about Cox probably wearing glasses in 2022 after 6 eye surgeries https://www.afl.com.au/news/697322/eyes-on-the-prize-american-pie-set-for-unique-new-look-in-2022

I applaud Cox for giving the eyeware a chance.
If he feels more confident attacking the ball and it improves his vision, then the club can only be better for it.
Last bloke I remember who wore them regularly was Geoff Blethyn. Have I missed anyone ?

6 eye surgeries in 3 years..........I hope he's allowed to wear them.

A few umpires needed them.

I hope at night games he comes out dancing to " Sunglasses After Dark".

I'd prefer to see him wearing a single monicle so he could be our giant one-eyed Cyclops!

That time line is about right. He was a good player and remained their spearhead for a number of years. The VFL / AFL players who adorned glasses ( Tony Southcombe was a good get ) and helmets sit alongside each other with equal standing at any sports trivia night.
I imagine it will be great for Cox confidence, if nothing else. I could completely understand anyones apprehension returning back to a game that nearly cost him his eyesight a year earlier. Those players who come back after losing a kidney and risk being on dialysis for the rest of their lives are in a league of their own for courage ( McKenna, Newman, Lonergan etc )
