SCOTT Pendlebury says the Magpies will teach Mason Cox how to handball this week.

The American import undoubtedly knows how but after a stunning brainfade late in Sunday’s win over Geelong, he could do with a refresher course.

And few would knock back some advice from Pendlebury.

Deep in the forward pocket, Cox marked seemingly all by himself.

However, as big men often do, he over-estimated his abilities, played on and was run down.

Tackled over the goal line, Cox tried to keep the ball in play but could only throw the ball — basketball style — back onto the ground.

It’s sure to go down as one of the funniest acts on the MCG this year.
