End of an Era: Mason Cox Bids Farewell to Collingwood After an Unforgettable Journey 🖤🤍
In an emotional turn of events, Collingwood has confirmed that Mason Cox will no longer be a Pies player going forward. 😢 What began as an unlikely story in Texas has turned into one of the most inspiring careers in Australian football. From an American college basketballer to an AFL premiership hero, Cox’s journey embodies the spirit of determination and belief — proving that with hard work, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
Across 139 games, Cox became more than just a player — he became a symbol of Collingwood’s heart, courage, and global reach. Standing tall as a gentle giant, he slowly found his rhythm in the AFL, transforming from a raw talent into one of the most recognized figures in the sport. His passion, humility, and love for the black-and-white stripes made him a true fan favorite.
Cox’s legacy goes far beyond the goals and the marks — he helped expand the AFL’s influence across the world, particularly in the United States, inspiring a new generation of international fans. And who could forget his unforgettable finals performance in 2018, when he single-handedly stunned Richmond in one of the greatest semi-finals in club history?
As Mason Cox closes this incredible chapter, Collingwood fans everywhere are united in gratitude. Thank you, @masonsixtencox, for your service, your passion, and your belief. 💪
Once a Magpie, always a Magpie — forever black and white, forever Collingwood. 🖤🤍
