Brennan Cox prepares for potential Grand Final return with Dockers

Fremantle's Brennan Cox has made significant progress in training, increasing his chances of returning for the Grand Final against Brisbane on September 23, 2026. After recovering from a calf injury that sidelined him in the last home-and-away match, Cox completed match simulation and impressed coaches during a training session in front of fans at Cockburn ARC Oval. His inclusion is uncertain as Oscar McDonald, who performed well in Cox's absence, now faces a selection decision. The Dockers withdrew Cox from the WAFL Grand Final to optimize his fitness for the Grand Final.
