American ruckman Mason Cox is set to depart Collingwood to move north to Brisbane, according to former St Kilda chief executive Brian Waldron.
The out of contract 26-year-old has attracted plenty of interest from rival clubs following his return to the senior team in Round 21. Cox averaged 36 hitouts a game in his final three home and away matches as well as chipping in with four goals.
Waldron told SEN’s Hungry For Sport that he expects the 211cm big man to change clubs during the trade period.
“He's going to Brisbane”, he said.
It is understood that Collingwood is keen to retain Cox’s services, but face a fight to keep him in black and white.
Waldon also said that Brisbane youngster Josh Schache – he re-signed with the Lions mid-season – remains a player of interest for rival clubs, with the Western Bulldogs keen to lure him back to Victoria.
