State league affiliate: Collingwood (VFL)
This weekend: Collingwood v Geelong - Saturday July 30, 12pm, Victoria Park

Mason Cox played his first match in almost a month and contributed with two goals in his side’s comfortable 50-point win over Geelong.

The 211cm American had been rested the past few weeks after managing ten games in succession following his Anzac Day debut against Essendon.

"I feel pretty refreshed," Cox told the club’s website.

"Having those weeks off definitely helped out."

Brent Macaffer, dropped from the senior side last round, responded in the perfect manner by being named in the best, along with defender Tyson Goldsack. Rebounding defender Adam Oxley was tried as a forward and booted a goal.

Midfielder Clancee Pearce also worked tirelessly for 31 disposals, as well as recently axed Connor Blakely who had 31 of his own.

Nick Suban, who was a surprise omission from the side set to play the Sydney Swans this weekend, responded with 22 disposals and seven tackles. Michael Apeness was perhaps the most impressive of the lot, who booted all of his five goals in the second half to be named among the best.
