MASON Cox has delivered a sledge the Aussie cricket team would be proud of.
The big American – fresh off his preliminary final-winning exploits – had a not so subtle dig at Melbourne fans as they watch their team be torn about by West Coast.
Western Australia Police didn’t miss out on the Demons bashing either with some gold.
LIVE: EAGLES V DEMONS PRELIMINARY FINAL
Cox tweeted his parents’ flights from Dallas to Melbourne were cheaper than Demons’ fans travelling to Perth … and, of course, they got to see their son star.
As you can imagine, the sledge wasn’t well received by the red and blue faithful and the Magpies forward won’t want to disappear in next week’s Grand Final.
After copping a red and blue backlash, Cox deleted the tweet.
EAGLES “WOULD BOO THEIR OWN GRANNIES”
DEATH, taxes and a chorus of boos ringing out from West Coast supporters at a packed Perth Stadium.
Notoriously the most parochial home supporter base in the AFL, Eagles fans are holding up their end of the bargain with deafening roars of derision every time something goes Melbourne’s way as the two teams face off in a preliminary final clash.
And social media has taken notice, with many annoyed by the noise coming out of the sellout crowd.
