Masonâs massive call on Freoâs list
SEN ⢠ November 25th, 2025 9:59 am
Fremantle recruit Mason Cox is extremely bullish about his new clubâs playing list.
The former Collingwood ruck/forward has officially joined the Dockers as an SSP player following his Magpies exit.
Immediately Cox has made a big call relating to his new home - labelling Justin Longmuirâs Freo list as the best in the game.
âIt might be a bit bullish to say but I do think itâs the best list in the comp to be honest with you,â Cox told Freo media.
âYou look at exactly what they were able to do last year and the streak of wins that they put together - itâs pretty impressive.
âHopefully I can add a bit of experience and everything else to continue that success.â
SEN Breakfast pair Sam Edmund and Cam Mooney were quick to assess Coxâs confident comments.
They wondered if the Dockers do actually have the best playing list or if that title should be reserved for other teams.
Edmund: âOh, heâs got excited, heâs turned salesman!
ââIt might be a bit bullish to say but this is the best list in the gameâ.â
Mooney: âYou know what? Iâm not too far off him as well because I actually had them finishing top four and I was pretty disappointed they didnât.
âIâve got them right up there next year. On paper, yes (theyâll finish top four), but theyâve let me down the last couple of years.â
Edmund: âTheyâre not the best list in the game though?â
Mooney: âNot the best, but theyâre right up there. They have got a very good list.â
Edmund: âClearly, as theyâve won the last two premierships, Brisbane have got the best list in the game.
âAnd I think Geelong have got one of the best lists in the game as well.â
Mooney: âYeah, wouldnât be far off it.
âBut I donât disagree with him that Fremantle have a very, very good list and I think they should be a hell of a lot better than they have been.
âI think next year they should be at least a prelim final. I think next year is Justin Longmuirâs big year, otherwiseâŚâ
Edmund: âHeâs got his new recruit, his old mate Mason Cox saying youâre coaching the best list in the game and you canât win an elimination final against the Suns at home!â
Mooney: âNo pressure, âJLâ.â
Cox will team up with Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson to form a ruck triumvirate in purple next year.
He was keen to work alongside the pair and do everything in his power to make Freo better.
âIt's kind of a weird thing, because Sean and I have somewhat of a connection through friends back home in the US, and Luke I've kind of known throughout the years of playing against him,â Cox said.
âItâs a bit of a fraternity of sorts for ruckmen. You always have mutual respect for someone who plays a very similar position to you, so I'm excited to get over there, catch up with them for a coffee, and just pick their brains to see exactly how I can help out.â
