I just re watched Mason Cox's highlights package.
The dude was playing college basketball four year's ago and had never held a Sherrin.
What he achieved last night is nothing short of extraordinary.

If Melbourne somehow get over the line today (I don't think they will), it could be a 1988 GF style blowout next week. Collingwood are all over the Demons from a match-up perspective, and the Dees will be partying hard all week just to have made it to the big dance.
West Coke match up very well against Collingwood and will be a much tougher opponent in the GF if they win today. They have the twin towers up forward and 4 other dangerous mid-sized forwards who all have tricks (Rioli, Ryan, Cripps and Le Cras). They have a 2-pronged ruck division to blunt the huge advantage that Grundy enjoyed last night. And their midfield is strong enough to match it with the Pies. Sheppard is a big loss (ideal match-up for De Goey) but they still have the likes of McGovern, Barrass and Hurn down back.
Huge call but I'd bring Darcy Moore in for Hoskin-Elliot, who has been awful this finals series and was a deer in the headlights last night. They desperately need another tall down back, which they didn't need last night against Riewoldt and nobody else.
Is there much of the snow season left?
Asking for a friend.
Dees like a rabbit in the headlights and treating the ball like a hot potato. They should be down by more and it's going to take a mammoth effort to reel in that margin.
What a difference darling and Kennedy make to this team from the last time they played.
Pressure all over the ground.
Melb look a rabble at the moment.
I honestly could’ve believe WC were $1.80 at home .
Melbourne have been timid and clumsy.
Gawn zero influence so far.
Only thing going for the demons is West Coast didn’t kick straight.
To paraphrase Billy Birmingham:
Oh dear. Well, Melbourne may not have been *!*!*!*!ed before, but, they certainly are now.
This is delicious viewing.
Learn some humility you pricks.
A mate of mine is a desperate, die hard Dees supporter. I feel bad for him, he's a good bloke.
The rest, not so much.
I guess only truly great teams win interstate finals.
Just checked Jetstar for those WC fans wanting to fly to Melbourne...fly in Friday, fly back Sunday $1500 return ;)
