Cox posted 55 against Hawthorn in a 15-point home win — 17 above his 38 BE and his third straight above-BE score. The Jackson-Cox combo at Fremantle is working and he is a consistent presence at the ground level. Cash gen is positive at $1,485/rd. The ceiling is capped while Jackson and Darcy are healthy but the floor is reliable. Hold.
