West Coast games record holder Dean Cox says he wants to be more than a ruck coach and would move interstate for the right role.

The six-times All-Australian is in discussions with West Coast about remaining with the club in a coaching capacity next year.

A decision is expected to be made in the next fortnight.

But Cox gave the greatest indication yet that he could leave the Eagles, saying he was open to moving to Melbourne to develop his skills and one day become a senior coach.

The 290-game club great has ruled out playing in any capacity in 2015.

He and wife Kerry have a 22-month-old daughter, Charlotte.

"Now it'll be an opportunity once the grand final is over to really sit down and try and nut out what I'm going to do," Cox said.

"It is full-time coaching that I want and I want to do more than just a ruck role. We'll see where that takes me.

"The ruck stuff is what I know, but I really want to try and look at some other things as well, whether it's stoppage stuff or otherwise. Eventually I want to be a full-time assistant and senior coach, maybe.

"At some stage in my coaching career I'll have to move from Perth. If that's straight away, it's straight away. If that's in a year or two, that's when it is.

"I'm more than happy to move. I've been at the footy club for a long period of time. I understand the West Coast way, but you can learn from other clubs as well."

Cox will be part of the official motorcade at Saturday's grand final at the MCG alongside fellow retired greats Jonathan Brown, Lenny Hayes and Darren Glass.

He predicted Sydney would win the flag and said Swan Mike Pyke could square the ruck battle with whichever combination Hawthorn decided on out of David Hale, Jonathon Ceglar and Ben McEvoy.

"Mike is such a big body," Cox said. "He's aggressive, he's strong and he actually covers the ground really well. I don't think the two rucks would really bother him.

"He's shown over the short career that he's had that he's good enough to match it and hold his own and I think he'll do that again."

Cox also praised Matt Priddis, saying his Brownlow Medal win was proof the All-Australian selectors got it wrong by overlooking the Eagles midfielder and teammate Eric Mackenzie when picking the final side.

"With Priddis' stats, when you're leading total disposals and top five in clearances, tackles, contested possessions and you're the top handball player in the comp, I think that stacks up really well," Cox said.

"I was really surprised they didn't get in. I hope Monday settles a little bit of the score."
