Cox (hamstring) could return before the end of the season, according to GM Peter Bell. "We just want to keep our options open and Brennan is pressuring everyone to try and get back in time to play some more footy this season, so we've left that door open."
ANALYSIS
Cox hasn't played since early-June and his chances to return may be more dependent on Freo sticking in the finals than anything else.

Hurts hamstring in loss
Cox suffered a potentially serious hamstring injury during the Round 12 loss to the Western Bulldogs, according to coach Justin Longmuir. "Potentially (it could be season ending) but we don't need to go there just yet so we will get it scanned and let you know."
ANALYSIS
Cox may not miss more than a single match but until scans are done, confidence in his his fitness isn't high based on the reports from his coach. With 11.8 disposals per game this season, his fantasy value isn't exactly the highest either.
