I say this in nearly every American's reaction to Mason's story (disclaimer: I'm an American, lived in Australia for 2 years, and have been following the AFL since 1994). One thing about Mason's Debut is this. ANZAC (Australia/New Zealand Armed Corps) Day is our Memorial Day, Armed Forces Day, and Veteran's Day all rolled into one. And that game, which since 1995 has always been on a Monday and Collingwood versus Essendon, is arguably the second highest attended match of the year (second only to the Grand Final). Basically, the entire country all but stops for that game.
Additionally, while each team's players always celebrate a goal with each other, it's always a special thing when it is that player's first goal. It's even rarer when it is that player's first kick and first goal...
Mason Cox, in his first game, in his first possession and touch of the football, kicked not only the first goal of the match, but his first goal, let alone the first goal an American has kicked in the AFL, on ANZAC Day. That is the equivalent of say, Randy Moss or O'Dell Beckham making one of their famous catches for a touchdown, and that being their first ever possession and score, in their first game, on Veteran's Day or Thanksgiving. That's huge. That's why the commentators were shocked and saying "Can you believe that AN AMERICAN, in his first game, kicks the first goal on ANZAC Day? That didn't Happen!!!"
Oh.. and that Preliminary final when he played his heart out? Think of that in NFL terms as the NFC or AFC division finals: The winner goes to the Super Bowl, the loser plans for the next season. As Richmond had won the Grand Final the year before, they were heavy favorites to not only win this match, but win the Grand Final as well. You saw the result. Not only were his parents in the crowd (they flew in from Dallas that day), but news of his performance made it to the papers and even ESPN here in the US.
That’s absolutely incredible. I’m really glad that he is widely accepted! Inspirational as hell!
He is now an Australian citizen and has made millions from football. He definitely made the right decision and is now reaping the rewards.
I love that the crowd chanted U.S.A - U.S.A in support of him. They did that A LOT after he’d score a goal. I’m an Essendon supporter but I love Mason Cox! Good on him for sticking to it.
As another Essendon supporter, I second that.
He also became an Australian Citizen yesterday too.
The thing is about that 2018 Prelim final, Collingwood were going in as the massive underdogs, like David vs Goliath type underdogs, everyone expected Collingwood to get belted of the park. Cox and Collingwood as a whole played one of the most dominant finals in recent times against a team who hadn't lost at that venue for something like 18 straight games. Cox was unreal that game.
Hey mate, collingwood member here.
We have heritage hatred from the days when collingwood supporters were the Blue collar fans. But now that the number of fans equals income for the club we became one of the biggest. Then they put in a cap on not only player salary but club salary too.
Mason is in my team, the Magpies but we just call them the Pies. I call Mason American Pie but with love. It took him 4 years before he got to play first grade and he didn’t give up. Then when he made first grade he was awful and a lot of people wanted him gone. He finally got it and shut them up. When he played his first semi final his parents flew out to watch. Not sure what they thought of more than 90,000 loud fans in one arena but they smiled a lot. Mason is 6’ 9”. You always know when he is near the ball or has it. The crowd chants USA which is funny. Yes, our sense of humour is as warped as the commentators. Mason had to read some really nasty stuff about himself and he never stopped trying or learning. It used to make me mad because all of players had been playing since they were kids. He had never seen a game until he got here. He knew he was never going to be a basketball player and he chose the oldest game of football in the world. You have no idea how hard training is to become an elite athlete. To run for up to 90 minutes but still keep all of the skills you need. It isn’t a game you can learn fast and Mason did great to become good enough in the time he did.
My Dad was a Rugby League player, a Hockey player and a road cycle racer. I went to watch him play Rugby. He taught me the most important things about sport. Don’t kick a player when they are down was one. If someone does something really good in any game. It doesn’t matter if they are on the other team, you cheer for them. I remember doing that at an ice hockey game in Canada. The local team was way ahead and someone on the other team made a great goal so I cheered. The man behind me hit me on the head with something hard. Then he refused to sit near me for the rest of the game. He needed to talk to my Dad.
Its 6'11" and yes it is Kangaroo skin.
Mason is a genuinely nice bloke and we play in the first game this Friday.
Late in 2019 he suffered a serious eye injury, when he went to get the detached retina operated on, it was found that he also had it in the other eye. So in late 2019, early 2020 he was virtually blind while he recovered and it was only in the last few games that he fully recovered his full eyesight. We, Collingwood supporters, cannot wait for him to make his mark on Friday night.
You might as well join us in joining the Collingwood Magpie.
I thought he looked taller, it was just what google said haha. And it seems like it. seems like a humble guy whose willing to take criticism and learn. And that is a horrible, horrible injury... Glad he will be returning this week... Hoping to see a great performance
No it's not kangaroo skin. They make a bunch of different balls at different pricepoints and the most expensive, official match ball is called 'kangaroo brand', but it's actually made of cow leather
@@bowiesinspace7152 there is an aboriginal sport that they used to play that is similar to afl and the ball was made out of actual kangaroo skin. So I believe the saying came from that
My fav player in the afl has been since he joined I love big coxy he’s a great player and he’s especially proved that since playing the ruck instead of foward
WOW
Mason is a champion person and a very competitive AFL player.
Go Pies 2023. Glad you like the game, you’ll feel even better when you become a Collingwood member
I'm a port Adelaide man, with passion for
Coxy is the seconds American to play AFL. Jason Holmes played for St Kilda.
There are two types of AFL fans: Collingwood supporters, and people who despise Collingwood 😉
i tend not to subscribe early - I will subscribe if there is loyalty/longevity. Some foreigners follow AFL for a bit to build up their youtube numbers and then they move on and forget about it. So been burnt in the past and I am sure i am not alone. In the meantime I will watch and like, and if you stay on AFL the subscribers will come.
I appreciate the honesty and advice! I am lucky that I started right before the season, because it gives me a chance to really get the perspective of a full season and be able to watch it start to finish. As long as you're watching, AFL content will continue to come. I am very enthusiastic about learning about it and becoming a proper fan. And I think what separates me from those who just use it to build their platform: they are RUclipsRS first who like sports, I am a SPORTS SUPER FAN first who likes making content. You won't be let down.
@@AverageSportsFan ok I’ll sub too off the back of that comment. You also seem to have a good understanding of spot so you are picking up the technical side very quickly. An example in point is another RUclipsr watched the Buddy goals the other day and said the he was just lucky with the ones he kicked along the ground. You noticed the way he held the ball and deliberately kicked the ball so it spun along the ground. Very astute observation for an uninitiated to the sport. Keep it up.
@@tomoliver2961 I appreciate the kind words! I still have a lot to learn haha
@@AverageSportsFan yeah you do but you will have fun doing it. It’s a great sport with a huge variety of skills on display with very talented fully professional athletes playing it. I live all sports and have followed everything since I was about 10 years old. NBA, NFL, Olymipics, Soccer etc but my biggest live is the AFL it’s amazing. And if you ever get a chance to go to a big game 80k+ supporters, do it because the atmosphere is electric.
Only came across your channel today. It's now late July 2022. Collingwood has just won their 10th game in a row and will play off in the finals in September. Collingwood is the most hated team in the AFL (Australian Football League) unless you follow them of course. Mason Cox is still playing for them. He just became an Australian citizen a couple of months ago. I'm from Melbourne and agree he's picked up our accent. I wouldn't bet on Collingwood winning the championship this year. They've played in the most Grand Finals, but lost the most by far. The joke is they've got the 'colliwobbles'. I'm a Richmond (tigers) supporter and we've won 3 of the last five premierships!!!
G'day mate. Nice choice. Keep it up!
I totally agree, so many people don't say yes enough. I do and it's helped me a lot. Now trying to teach my kids the same.
I'm a huge Collingwood fan and I love mason. His awesome. I get excited everytime I see him play. his very inspirational.
I remember that game, Collingwood was tipped to lose but we killed it. so devo we lost the grand final that year.
There's a saying amongst Aussie rules fans 'Anyone but Collingwood'. In saying that they have some great players including Mason Cox. I think its the collective that people aren't so fond of :-)
That is what I have come to find. I still don't quite get it but I am sure I will
@@AverageSportsFansome of it may be that traditionally Collingwood fans were/are seen as particularly rowdy and rough.
🍻🍻Can you imagine a US Footy team sticking with him for 4 years before he made it, Almost all Aussies wanted him to make it, were a few loud Galahs in Media and online, reason we were happy was he took a leap of faith and he never gave up. it is not like our players earn the Stupid Money that US Players do, have a feeling Mason will be staying around long after he finishes playing, from day one he suited life here.
Run, catch, KICK, and tackle. No pads. Much respect to Aussie Rules!
So much better than most sports out there in my opinion!
Technically Don Pyke was the first American-born to play in the AFL and score
Watch the highlights from the western bulldogs 2016 finals run
No mate we don’t hate the fans just the football clubs,we all sit in the stands without segregation and have very little trouble at all.so you support the Pies mate good reaction
Most loved team due to large supporter base, most hated (by other teams and their supporters) due to winning grand final alot more times than most other clubs.
I'm married to an Aussie, watching AFL since 2012. Collingwood is the team that most likely gets into finals (playoffs) and loses it in the quarter finals, semi-finals. Is this fitting for the Dallas Cowboys?
When choosing a team consider this. Since West Coast joined the comp (1987 ) they have had 34 seasons 25 of them in the finals 4 premierships and over 50 finals games (the most of any team since the eagles started ) . Finals football. That's what its all about.
Thx mate for your honest commentary on this. I am a Carlton fan but huge respect for Mason Cox. He always plays well against us. You barrack whoever you want to. That's your choice mate :D
Love your commentary mate. You’ve picked up the basic rules and outline of the game so much better than any other “reactor” on RUclips. It’s so good to see Americans falling in love with our game. It is like a religion! I would love to send you an actual game ball. So much better than the cheap balls. Let me know champ. Love your work, keep it up mate.
I appreciate the support man! I have grown to love the sport!
Have you checked out any of the other reactions? I like seeing the arc of me learning the games through my first reaction compared to now haha. And you you want to contact me my email is jonah.lestrange@gmail.com... thank you again!
I can't begin to imagine what it must've been like for him to come over here and learn a completely new sport that he'd never heard of before. And to start on such a back foot, too... all of the other Aussie players had all their lives learning and perfecting the game from playing in local footy teams and here he is starting from scratch against players that have AFL in their blood. Hats off to him for sticking it out and proving himself worthy.
I absolutely agree with you there. You don't have to like him, but you gotta somewhat respect him. Almost like moving countries and going to your first day of school in a totally different culture with a bunch of native kids. Something that I have actually done as a kid and it was AWFUL. as you said, hats off to the man 🙏🏻
Yeahhh maybe give it a bit more time before you choose your team. Loving your AFL content dude, so excited to watch you learn about this amazing sport
Gotta. watch a few games before I make a final decision... And thank you for the support! It's more appreciated than you'd think!
@@AverageSportsFan You would be welcome in black and white.
Mason Cox has had a few good games here and there but he’s not consistent, he’s awesome tho I love when he brags after kicking a goal, I’m a die hard AFL fan and I support the pies or Collingwood whichever u know them by haha
I'm glad that he's repping the US in what I am coming to believe is the greatest sport on earth! I hope he can continue to improve!
Yeah that’s the next step for Coxy.
He’s proven that he’s got what it takes, and he’s a match winner when he’s on.
Needs to work on his consistency and he could become a very good player.
@@shmick6079 exactly right mate!
Good job cobber, enjoying your afl videos.
Cheers! More to come always!
I love u man
Chase up the interview Cox did with Pat McCafee.
I believe you can get live games over there on Fox sports and ESPN.
Fox Sports carries 3 games on the networks and all 7-9 on the app over here luckily. Never miss the Pies!!!!
@@williamfryman4360 . That must be fun at the moment. Did you hear about little Johnny in the family law court? The judge says who do you want to live with Johnny, do you want to live with your dad? Then he says no because he beats me. Then the judge asked if he wants to live with his mum. Johnny tells him his mum beats him too. So the judge says well who do you want to live with Johnny? Johnny says, the Collingwood football club, because they never beat anybody.🤣😹🦢🦢🦢(North Melbourne not counted😜)
Have a look at the 1989 AFL Grand Final: Hawthorn v Geelong ,it was amazing!!! Gary Ablett kicked 8 goals in the last quarter also the 2005 Grand Final: Sydney v West Coast ,a real close win for Sydney.
Unfortunately a sherrin football isn't kangaroo it's cow hide lined and are machine-stitched it's a common mistake because the sherrin logo is a kangaroo and are printed on the ball, they come in two official gameday colours,
Red for day games and Yellow for Night games to make it easier to see.
Mason has a lot of potential its a shame he wasn't born Australian because he shows glimpses of brilliance yet it shows he didn't play Junior afl.
When he is in form it's hard to compete with him he's one of if not the tallest player in the comp with long lanky arms that when extended up just dominates a marking contest and can be a great kick for goal,
The issue is he has trouble reading the flow of the game, a skill you normally pick with a life time of playing Junior's and can still be very inconsistent but considering he only started learning the game in 2014 has shown he's sporting prowess.
He's first game is the biggest day on the AFL calendar out side the finals, ANZAC day is our Memorial Day for the Armed forces of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
Im a Richmond supporter and he's Preliminary Final in 2018 will forever haunt me , he dominated the marking contest and made the Best rated defense in the game look like they were lost in a field.
I have huge respect for the big guy for never giving up when the world around him wanted him to fail, Yet I also have a hatred for him as well for the dominance he seems to show against Richmond in recent years and if I ever meet him I'll tell him exactly that...
With everyone hating Collingwood it's more like hate is too soft a word as for many it's a pure, white-hot loathing for everything that is Collingwood due to how the AFL evolved from the VFL (Victorian football league) with still today 10 out of the 18 AFL team's are in the state of Victoria with 9 in Melbourne metro/suburban areas, it was a sort of Suburban warfare mentality and over the 1920s and 1930s, Collingwood captured six of its 14 Premierships and the hatred is passed down through family's and is still being taught today it's nearly tradition now to hate them and the Collingwood fans love it.
Thanks for the background info! And I'm sure Mason would understand if you told him exactly that. Respect for HOW he did it, white hot loathing for WHAT he did haha. And it is interesting how you can tell if a player is newer or if they have been leaving and breathing the game their whole life. Same in basketball... something different about their game I.Q and spacial awareness
As a West Coast fan I've got to say your view on how collingwood are seen by others is spot on .
@@paulpowell7424 I may be a Richmond supporter but AFL is not a game for me it's more a religion ,
I watch every game of every round.
My friends treat me as if I'm a footy guru. I could talk about it all day like I'm a bible basher going door to door ....😄

It would have been a perfect story if his name was Mason Dixon.
I love his story but Mason is not the first North American to play AFL. The Sydney Swans recruited a Canadian national rugby player, Mike Pyke in the late 'noughties. He too was given a hard time by critics at the start of his AFL career but persevered and became a Premiership winning ruckman with the Swans in 2012.
That’s amazing! But I did say first American, not North American. Canadian and American are different! That’s like saying someone who is Irish is English!
Hey dude, forget the lesser Clubs, jump on board the most hated & most loved Club, Collingwood.
Footies are made of real leather. Not sure whether kangaroo or not (actually I think it's cow)
You should react to Rocket League, it'd be interesting to see a sports fan react to one of the most popular e-sports. If you don't know what it is, Rocket League is soccer played with rocket powered cars that can also fly.
Its cow leather. Just has a picture of a kangaroo
Hey man, great channel great content. Loving all the AFL reacts... I've noticed you mentioned how much you like the Commentary on AFL matches.
Search Bruce Mcavaney, Brian Taylor or just Best AFL Commentary. You won't be disappointed
Met this guy in a bar once after the Grand final and the whole team and I was ohhhhh shit but I was interested in mason cox me mates and the team had a couple drinks we talked and went home with memories that I will never for a moment ever forget.
Official AFL footballs are made from cowhide leather
Mason is not the first. In the 1980s an American named Sanford Wheeler played for the Sydney Swans.
Yeah, he may have been American born but he was very young when he came to Australia. He was very much a part of the Aussie culture, so playing AFL was not unusual for him.
Mason Cox on the other hand is a different story, he was a completely out of his element.
go pies
A good average footballer.
Brother you gotta come to Australia and get to know All my mob the Aboriginal people like me,and I will tell you all about our people, first nationan people, Aboriginal.s send me a message if you want to know about us.
Thanks
Victor woodley
There was an AFL player a few years ago by the name of Robert Harvey he played for StKilda he was an on baller, they say that he would run a 1\2 marathon every game and he played every week. Most AFL players are true athletes some can run the 100 metres in near Olympic times you can take basketball, NFL, Soccer, & Rugby I’m not saying that the guys that play in those codes aren’t fit they obviously are but none of them could hold a candle to an AFL player stamina wise
Enjoying the AFL videos mate, keep it up. In terms of picking a team to support definately think you should watch as many game highlights over the next couple of rounds as possible to see which teams play style you enjoy the most. To help narrow it down a bit for you and point out a few teams to make note of, what sort of sports teams do you normally support? Like the big wealthy clubs, the consistent contenders or the underdogs.
Also some of the best players currently in the game which would be good to watch and might even help you choose a team aswell would be: Dustin Martin (Richmond)
, Patrick Dangerfield (Geelong), Nat Fyfe (Fremantle), Lachie Neale (Brisbane), Marcus Bontempelli (Western Bulldogs), Christian Petracca (Melbourne), Patrick Cripps (Carlton) and Nic Naitanui (West Coast).
I'd also recommend watching this Cyril Rioli highlights video - The Deadliest: Highlights of Cyril Rioli. Rioli retired in 2018 at only 29 years old but is probably the most skilled player I've watched, with unreal hand and foot skill, footy IQ and athleticism. Even with him retiring early he had a bunch of individual and team success.
I will absolutely wait some time to watch and see who's play style I am most drawn to. As for teams, I support the Chicago Bulls (who are trash lol but I love em) and Manchester City (who are at the top of the table pretty consistently) so its hard to pinpoint what kinds of teams I like. Just the ones I have sentimental value for usually.
I have screen shotted your comment and will work through the players one by one over time. Thank you for your support!
@@AverageSportsFan I guess you could kind of take it in two ways with those teams. You could take it as teams with long histories who have been able to have success at different points over the years but who aren't necessarily the most wealthy with the most premierships and could say teams like Hawthorn, Geelong, Sydney and maybe even Melbourne.
Then you could also take it in the direction of teams who have bottomed out and were able to bouce back to be very successful. Since the bulls have a bit of a trend of the highs and lows of finishing places having been a joke just before the Jordan era. And then from what I've read Man City were pretty rubbish for a couple decades and getting relegated and then bouncing back and now being a bit of a powerhouse. In that case team you could definately go are could be Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Carlton and I'm even gonna say Gold Coast even though they're the 2nd youngest club, and they've been a laughing stock in the league for a decade now but i feel with the young talent of players they have they're about to burst onto the scene this season in particular with the young player Matt Rowell just like the bulls with Jordan.
Sorry for having to read the novel I just wrote, but I hope this helps.

@@AverageSportsFan 2018
The 2018 one has mason cox and the last comment on this video refers to it
The " Sherrin " Australian Rules football is made of leather ( Cow hide ) ( wikipedia ) . It is a common mistake to think it is made from Kangaroo skin because the game spec ball is called the Kangaroo brand . I see people commenting here even now saying it's 'Roo skin . It isn't and I defy anybody to show me their evidence of that . Even the most cursory research on google will tell you it's cow hide and not 'Roo skin.
hahaha okay that makes sense. I woulda been surprised if it were actual kangaroo lol
But the ball used in marngrook, the aboriginal precursor to Aussie rules probably was (or possum skin)
@@janmeyer3129 of course . Also , I don't think they had cows . haha

Do yourself a favour, mate... Don't follow ANY specific team... Just promote the game itself... AFL supporters love someone who can be impartial.. The rest of us are already one-eyed (parochial) fans.. NO team needs another one just like the rest of us 😂
haha I appreciate the advice. I might be leaning towards that option so so I can avoid pissing people off for choosing the wrong team. Unfortunately any team would be the wrong choice in some people's eyes
@@AverageSportsFan - That's true, mate.. I guess there isn't a "wrong" team to support if you really want to... just go with your heart and not what everyone suggests. I have my favourite team too but I don't think it's right for anyone to influence your decision so I won't be a hypocrite about it. If you're going to promote the game itself, get yourself out into your local community and find out if there is any AFL leagues in the Netherlands.. I'm pretty sure there is a few teams there under the banner of AFL Europe just as there is the USAFL in the States.
@@consciousbeing1188 Another guy in the comments section already did the research for me! There are 4 teams in the Netherlands. I will will probably remain impartial because I just want to be a platform where people can come and ejoy the highlights with me without worrying about who supports who. One big sports loving family.
Just watch "Nic Nat is BACK! Naitanui's insane highlights reel" and thank me later.
Added to the list! Thank you!!
Love nic nat. I hope he shines this year (too)
Mate, If you are going to talk, at least pause the video as I couldn't hear what the were saying
Support the Western Bulldogs 🔴⚪️🔵. A very likeable team by everyone
HE IS 6FT 9INCHES Why do you NOT read these tips
Chelsea isn’t the most loved team in England. It’s not even the most loved club in London. They have less fans in London than Arsenal, Spurs and even Man United and Liverpool.
Collingwood would be comparable to Man United. Ironically I’m a supporter of both United and Collingwood.
Dream on. United win a lot.
hard trying to listen to the video when you keep interrupting it
please watch marika koribete
Watch the time and score ruclips.net/video/2TFZUpovesY/видео.html
mate i love your videos, but you tend to talk over a lot of it and you (and audience) end up literally missing a lot of key points that are being said ... just click Pause when you want to speak! :)
Appreciate the feedback dog. Will work to improve. Can’t have every video end up being 30 mins tho so I’ll find a good middle ground 🤣👍🏼
Remember you promised me to do, “Lance Franklin’s best 23 goals.” I don’t want to burst your bubble, but Buddy Franklin puts your Mr Cox, in the shade.
Also yes, you’re better off not going for Collingwood. Not all of them, but quite a few other team’s fans will not subscribe if you follow them. Even though I’m a biased Sydney Swans fan, I do know that many other footy fans respect them, so if you were to choose them, you won’t alienate too many other fans. Any of the other interstate teams are not the best choice, as the bulk of footy followers are Victorian. Many Vics have a soft spot for Sydney, as they used to be South Melbourne, and consequently they still have heaps of Victorian fans like myself, who used to follow them as the South Melbourne Swans.
Gotta love the pitch, awesome 😁
@@jaynehyland8939 . Hey we’ve only got 1 million, 100 fans according to Roy Morgan, so we need some more Jayne.😂
@@rickyd.989 i think you have more but this is brilliant. I would go for it, unfortunately I am die hard WCE 🤫
Haha the pitch is impeccable. I don’t even know If I’m going to become impartial to one team over another. I will definitely just be a fan of the game tho. We’ll see. And lance franklin video is being recorded today! There’s a looooong list of requested videos, I’m checking them off one by one! Thank you for the support!
@@AverageSportsFan . And I write this having just watched the Sydney Swans beat up the Brisbane Lions by five goals. Brisbane beat Richmond in last years qualifying final, before losing in the following final, and they finished second on the ladder for the season.
Hey bud, you probably have clubs where you are as there are clubs all over the world you can check out the clubs all over Europe here afleurope.org/find-your-club/#club-u also the ball is definitely kangaroo skin, not pigskin I think there are 3 teams in the Netherlands
There are some teams here! I would like to become involved w them!
If you support Collingwood, you'll lose half of your Australian subscribers hahaha
Haha don't worry, not likely!
You really do need to pause the video when you talk
If I did that I’m afraid every video I make would be 30+ minutes which would be BAD for my audience retention rate! I’ll definitely take that into account if I decide to go on one of my goofy ass monologues haha. Thank you for the feedback!
@@AverageSportsFan Thanks. Have a great day 😀
Why don't you pause when you start talking? I've watched 2 AFL reactions and you missed a lot by not pausing.
I originally did it because I didn’t want to make the videos too long but from subscriber feedback I’ve started pausing a lot more in my recent videos! Thank you for the feedback
Collingwood would never make it to top three
I wouldn't hate you if you became a Collingwood fan - I'd just think you had poor taste! 😆 Collingwood is just one of those polarising sporting teams. Genuine working class origins, absolutely fanatical supporters (arguably more fanatical than any other team), and the team everyone else loves to hate.
haha I see what you mean. I am not gonna become a full fan of them. Just of Mason!
@@AverageSportsFan Seriously they have the best stories from when the war broke out. Two best mates played for Collimgwood, went to war one came back. They have the horseshoe from that war. The soldier who came back married the deceased soldiers widow and raised their child. I love the pies. They were grass roots, but the footy helped alleviate the depression, a bit of joy. Having said that I watch all the games, because each team have their stars.
He was a flop. 2 seasons then sacked. Not good!
Wow this man sucked. Maybe it was advertising AFL? 2 seasons then sacked! LMAO
Cox is a flash in the pan, one or two good games and gone!!
All the hype is that he is the first American to play the game NOT THAT HE IS ANY GOOD. Collingwood have already got rid of him
Idiot he is still playing for Collingwood
Just don’t become a Collingwood fan! Ew! Anyone but Collingwood
ugh please.. why is everyone even giving the time of day to mason "eddie paid me lots of money thinking i'd be a great player" cox???....he is NOT the first american to play in the AFL and nor is he the best either.. research DON PYKE who has actually won 2 Premierships well before mason jar coxy could even walk. ... don't waste time on a pretend wannabe who talks himself up on the pat mcafee show ......
..watch a REAL AFL PLAYER: Dustin Martin.... then you will see the diff!
oh wow I had no idea! I'm just going off of what the comments tell me! I'll give Don Pyke, and Dustin Martin... Everyone wants to see him!
Bloody magpie propaganda...He is not the first yank to play Aussie rules....there have been a few who nipped him at the post....first American players no ty h debuted in 1989. Cox is however the first yank to play in a grand final.
Oh wow okay thanks for letting me know. They definitely didn’t differentiate in this video
@@AverageSportsFan that Collingwood for ya, always trying to re-write the history of the game. lol.
He's the first to.become a regular tho. I think the Saints guy played 1 game.
Sanford Wheeler and Don Pyke both debuted in 1989....Wheeler played 5 seasons, pretty regularly and Pyke played for the weagles for 7 years.
@@jmc7636 Pyke was American like Nicole Kidman. Born there but otherwise all Aussie.
Great video but I don’t rate him at all as a player and I’m certainly not in the minority
Thank you for the support! And I for sure don't know how he matches up to your average player, I'm just inspired that he made it!
Mason is the worst player ever
Your right, if you become Collingwood Fan you will be despised my many. Lol Collingwood, Essendon, , Geelong and Melbourne are the only four original teams still standing since the original 6 teams were founded back in 1896. Carlton and St Kilda are sort of orgninals too but they were introduced in 1897 a year later. But out of all these teams Collingwood is the richest and most well endorsed team which kind of gives the fans an off the scale hardcore pride, but mixed with a slightly suck up "were better" attitude. If you listen at 8:35 you can hear the Collingwood fans chanting COOOOOOLIIIIIINGWOOOOOOOD in a very haunting way in the last few minutes of the game. They do it whenever they got the game in the bag!!! And for no other reason than to taunt and humiliate the other team. But watch a few games, get a feel for all the teams and go with your heart bro!!! Oh and a great interview with Mason and Pat McAfee here ruclips.net/video/cEy4W243srY/видео.html If you keen to watch
Haha I gotta watch that interview. And maybe I'll steer away from collingwood and just be a Mason Cox fan haha. Thanks for the info! I appreciate your suppport!
@@AverageSportsFan West Coast Eagles are worth checking out. That's who Ben Cousins played for (can't go wrong with an Eagle it's the USA national emblem) they also became the first team outside the state of Victoria to win a grand final.
@@kirk5152 Haha can't lie, I'm not the most patriotic of Americans but will check them out nonetheless! I'll give it a look!
Melbourne formed in 1858 pal.
And Yikes, if your into racism, Collingwood is your team bro.
yikes. What makes collingwood fans racist?
word of advice when making a video. Learn to pause the video when you talk because no one can hear the video when you talk over it
