“Death, taxes and talking trash”: Cox sends subtle dig to Henry following Friday night epic

2023-03-18T12:50+11:00

Collingwood forward Mason Cox has sent a subtle dig to former teammate Ollie Henry following Friday night's season opener at the MCG.

The Pies kicked off their 2023 campaign in front of a packed-out MCG and the clash had plenty of spice.

Former Pie turned Cat Ollie Henry copped plenty of attention from former teammates and supporters as the 20-year-old played his first game in the Hoops after controversially leaving Collingwood at the end of last year.

Henry silenced fans early on with a stylish goal before they were brought back to life when he was run down by Collingwood skipper Darcy Moore with a piece of play that couldn’t be scripted.

Cox, who is no stranger to the headlines, took to Instagram on Saturday morning for a bit of “trash talk.”

“Death, taxes and talking trash,” Cox said.

“What an incredible atmosphere last night. Thank you Collingwood army for coming out as always!”

Despite copping heat, Henry finished the game with 15 disposals and two goals to be among his side's better players in the 22-point loss.
