Cox put up 52 in a competitive 14-point loss to GWS at Sydney Showground — well above his 20 BE and a solid effort for a player Essendon clearly still trust. At $134.6k he's a rock-bottom filler, and his injury history is the only genuine concern. Hold as cheap coverage — with a 20 BE almost any game clears breakeven. Don't overthink the role; Essendon keep selecting him and that's enough.
