Even if there's nothing wrong, the glove works, so may as well keep using it.
You need a medical reason I believe?

Just heard it was a finger. Apparently he'll be wearing it all year, so guess it will require surgery at the end of the season.I’m wondering what the injury is that he had to wear the glove? Has anything been said?
Thank you.Just heard it was a finger. Apparently he'll be wearing it all year, so guess it will require surgery at the end of the season.
It would be the understatement of understatements made on this entire forum that it was worth it, says the American Pies' fan in the Arizona desert, still elated, watching Mason live out the dream all of us here only dreamed of while watching on ESPN in the 1980s.To add to the above reason for the glove, he said on 3AW that he has cast on underneath it. So he has a cast protecting the injured finger and the glove protecting the cast!
Makes his important contribution today even more meritorious I reckon.
Considering all the serious injuries Mase has had in his time playing AFL (eye, spleen), I wonder if he will ever regret taking the game up? Perhaps having a premiership medal will make it all worth it
I doubt it, but, he does seem to have mixed feelings about footy.I wonder if he will ever regret taking the game up?
I saw he had it very iced after the last game. BT asked him about it on roaming Brian.I’m wondering what the injury is that he had to wear the glove? Has anything been said?
He was very good yesterday. That is the level we need him at, consistently.Coxy looked "on" early in the game and he didn't let us down. His contested marking was outstanding as was that brilliant handpass after being tackled by Horne Francis. People continue to underestimate how good Coxy is at ground level. He is a very mobile and athletic big man and a true weapon when his confidence is up.

Cox is not slow by the way. He just doesn't have the acceleration and the agility to catch the smaller players. I'm pretty sure Cox's top end speed is higher than Bobby Hill's.True.
Just don’t expect him to accelerate away from a contest, or chase down an opponent.
Whenever an opponent sees he is the chaser they take him on.
All I’ve ever wanted Cox to do is to use his size to influence contests, not get rag dolled out of ruck duels for instance.
Yesterday his influence was telling. If he can finally become consistent then we are truly back in the hunt.
Oh, and I’m always confident of a goal when he has the ball within 45 metres.
True.

That is a disappointing answer. He flew thousands of miles to a country he had never been to to try out for a game he'd never heard of and left behind a high paying secure job offer to have the grand adventure and ultimately says without hesitation he would never want his theoretical son to play the indigenous game of a country he now calls home after being naturalised?I doubt it, but, he does seem to have mixed feelings about footy.
Brayden C: "Everyone wants to know about the father-son, you're
eligible for father-son, 100 games."
Mason Cox: "Yeah."
Brayden C: "Will we be seeing an 8 foot Mason Cox running around?"
Mason Cox: "No. Without a question no."
"...if I do have kids I'd put them in basketball early, that's
what I would do. And no offense, AFL."
Fortunately kids have minds of their own.
He is very quick for a man of his size and his speed and agility are constantly overlooked or underrated.Cox is not slow by the way. He just doesn't have the acceleration and the agility to catch the smaller players. I'm pretty sure Cox's top end speed is higher than Bobby Hill's.
Remuneration. The minimum NBA salary is more than any AFL player is earning, and if any hypothetical children of his are similarly sized it would be worth a shot. Really good EuroLeague players can also make millions.That is a disappointing answer.

Did Brayden follow up with the word, "Why?" If it is related to the many injuries he has sustained I would understand, but outside of that one reason anything else would be a disappointing response. Why wouldn't you want your son to play the greatest game on earth and one in which you made your name and fame (even if only in Australia)?

No brainer for an 8’ player.Remuneration. The minimum NBA salary is more than any AFL player is earning, and if any hypothetical children of his are similarly sized it would be worth a shot. Really good EuroLeague players can also make millions.
He does. You must not watch us very often. You don't play 100 plus games and have a regular place in a premiership team when you rarely play a decent game let alone a good one..Decent game for a change, if only he had more than 3 or 4 of them a year....
