Cox May Miss Another

West Coast's popular $436k DT ruckman Dean Cox could miss another week of footy due to a nagging groin strain.

The big Eagle, owned by over 100,000 DT coaches, missed West Coast's win over Hawthorn on the weekend and is no guarantee for the club's next game against Melbourne according to the Perth Sunday Times.

West Coast footy manager Neale Daniher said, "He will have to show that he's pain free for us to consider him when we increase his training through the week.

"We won't know that until more into the middle of the week. We have had him in cotton wool all last week with very little training at all really.

"If it takes another week to have him fully right again, then we'll have to wear that."
