The juvenile in me wants to make Cox jokes all day long.

The serious poster in me will refrain from that.

My attention has recently been drawn to <a href="http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/sport/afl/story/0,26633,25188152-5016215,00.html">this[/url] article.

<blockquote>The reigning Eagles club champion fractured his left cheek in a heavy collision against Adelaide in Alice Springs late last month.

Scans confirmed a fracture, but surgery was ruled out and he was given the all-clear to play in Round 1.

The 167-game veteran has eased back his training, heavy running and travel commitments in the final stages of his summer preparation. </blockquote>

Apparently, the surgery would have had him out for the first two weeks of the season. Which is why theyve opted not to take that route.

So, is Cox still worth his 600k+ price tag? or is he still the only game in ruck-town? Does a Ferrari with a busted headlight still go just as fast?

Also, to avoid confusion with the pre-season scores, Ive now created a Preseaon-score button on the main page so that you can toggle them on and off... enjoy.
