Speculation is mounting that champion West Coast ruckman Dean Cox is set to announce his retirement.

The Eagles have called a midday press conference where Cox, the club's games record holder, seems certain to call time on his celebrated career.

It is understood that Cox, a six-times All-Australian, will play out the remainder of the season.

wow only weeks ago there was talk he would go another year.

Bill Manspeaker

geez what a year for retirements

Lots of retirements over the last few weeks.

Champion and gets yet more kudos for seeing the writing on the wall but for the good of the team (ie Lycett/Sinclair would've gone if he'd played on next year) he made the self-call ...  :)

Confirmation that he will retire at end of Season. Great career and well called. Just lift for the home and away as i need you for my fantasy teams.

All the best and enjoy developing the young rucks.

Cox is a champion, one of the best ruckmen ever to play the game.
Enjoy your retirement, champ.

Enright will probably be another as well

Capper

Pebbles could be another one as well.

Well done to Cox on a great career. A true champion and a must have in fantasy teams though out the years.

With Cox looking after the rucks at WC then their rucks will be fine for years

Champion of the game. One of 3 players  had locked in every year for years. Great career revolutionized what a ruckmen was or could be. Great ambassador for his club and for the game. One of my all time favourites. Good luck Coxy.

Hall of Fame first time of asking I suspect. Should be.

As an Eagles fan he has always been my favourite player. An absolute legend, and I don't care if anyone disagrees, but he pioneered the way ruckmen play now

What he has done over his career is unbelievable and although I cant say he is the greatest ruck of all time because I didn't see Farmer etc, but as far as I have been alive watching footy he is the best

You're a legend Coxy!

Dudge

Absolute legend. At his best, was unstoppable. Deserves all the accolades he gets
