Here’s the latest on Mason Cox and Fremantle:
- Mason Cox joined Fremantle on a two-year deal in November 2025 after being delisted by Collingwood, adding a veteran tall ruck/forward option to the Dockers. This marked his move to Fremantle for the 2026 and 2027 seasons, with the club highlighting his size and experience as assets.[1][5]
- Cox made his Fremantle debut in the 2026 western derby against West Coast, confirming his position in a two-pronged ruck attack alongside Luke Jackson as Fremantle looked to leverage his 211 cm presence and on-ball impact.[3]
- Public reaction to the move at the time described Cox as a surprising but welcome addition, with questions lingering about his previous Collingwood departure and the specifics of his role and minutes in Fremantle’s lineup.[2][4]
If you’d like, I can pull a quick chart of his AFL game count and average hit-outs before and after joining Fremantle, and include a short play-style snapshot from recent Fremantle media briefings.
