Champion Pies: Darcy Moore & Mason Cox

Kicking things off we congratulate Collingwood Football Club superstars Darcy Moore and Mason Cox for winning the AFL Grand Final. Ladder leaders for most of the regular season, club captain Moore and ruckman Cox’s dream season had a fairytale ending last Saturday afternoon after narrowly edging out a strong Brisbane Lions outfit 90-86 to win the AFL Grand Final at the MCG.

2023 was already a career-defining year for Darcy Moore as Collingwood appointed him captain at the start of the season following in the footsteps of his father. Darcy has been around footy his whole life, having inherited his footballing genes from Collingwood legend and Brownlow Medallist Peter Moore. In a heart-warming moment, the two got to share centre stage of the MCG on Grand Final day as Peter presented the Premiership Cup to his son.

Darcy was so proud to finally hand his dad a taste of premiership glory, as the decorated Moore Snr played in five grand finals, never getting his hands on that elusive premiership cup. A true sportsman, Darcy never made this achievement about himself putting his family and team first becoming a revered role model for young aspiring footballers.

Mason Cox has become a prominent figure, known for his unique journey from a college basketball player in the United States to a successful career in Aussie rules. Arriving in Australia in 2014 with limited knowledge of AFL he quickly made a name for himself as the “American Pie” adding an international flavour to the global reach and appeal of the competition.

Mason has embraced the Australian culture and has been actively involved in community outreach programs, using his platform to inspire young athletes and promote the sport to a wider audience. The Texan has used his willingness, engaging social media presence and podcast ‘The Mason Cox Show’ to connect with fans, break down barriers and highlight the inclusive nature of the AFL.

After their win on Saturday, Darcy & Mason joined an elite group of AFL players to win a grand final, glory that some can only dream of when pursuing a career in the sport.

If you’d like to hear their perspective on winning, perseverance and the pressures of being leaders at the most followed footy club in Australia, the lads are available for Q&A’s and In Conversation engagements via acta.
