Might be a ploy by the club to get back at 2 certain people from the media.
CW:"My sources tell me the RFC will announce that Ben Cousins will not get a new contract."
CH:"Well Caro i have it on very good authority that,Thats indeed the senerio the Drug Addict Ben Cousins is facing."

2 weeks later.
BG:We at the RFC wish to announce that Ben Cousins has agreed along with the club"[Caro wetting herself at this point,While Craig is ................. leave that to your imagination]" to play on next year and has signed a 1yr contract.Thank you and up yours Caro and Craig."
Leaking it to these two first, maybe through the bootstudders cousin (which they of course would both buy every day of the week)....fantastic.

That's not a bad idea, I should have boycotted the club for delisting Patrick Bowden!

Utter lunacy. Anyone who knowingly gets involved in something like that should be chucked in the Yarra and not allowed to get out until they see sense.
Absolutely agree SB. I guess my concern arose from some talk back I heard last week on the subject where people were talking about not renewing memberships etc.
 
apparently the doco is really good. i know the powers that be are concerned about 2-3 scenes in it that certain members of the media will run with and do a number on, but on the whole were really impressed with ben and how he has done it


also, played really well today. again.

Nothing from your birdie re. Cuz in 2011?
 
Am in Poland so haven't seen game but is good to hear ben chucked it on the boot more.
 
The thing is - he forces our young players to move into smarter positions with his clever handballs. This is more valuable than if he does it all himself. However today that wasn't an issue - 16 kicks, 10 handballs, 26 possies + 2 goals.

Cuz was our best player.

True champion midfielder of the last decade... we'd be crazy to force his hand.

hole in one.

he makes them move and take posession with momentum. there was one passage where newman was stationary behind cousins waiting for a handpass but cuz delayed it untill newman got on his bike and ran past.

always thought cousins was a good player at west coast but having watched him closely over the past 2 years, I see how much of a genius he is. even at his age. very intelligent and hard working player with his running and link up play. can just imagine him in his prime at the eagles linking up with judd and kerr.

must stay on. his bidy is right. still outruns everyone else on our list.
 
Very good & definately true obs about Cuz "making" teammates run to the right spots with momentum.

Love wacthing him. Class.
 
Cousins' lead up work, taking possession , giving off by hand , pushing hard to space to get the handball receive and then giving to Hicks who himself had been freed up by Cuzs' hard running resulted in Jack,s goal . Quick transition and a great positional kick by Hicks . Shows what hard running and footy smarts can achieve
 
Surely he has to get another year. Dont like the fact March came out and said will know before end of season, you would think if he was getting the sars they would announce it so he gets a farewell game.......again March should :shhh

Funny how we see things.
I think over the past several weeks many of these attempted handballs have actually cost momentum.
Interesting to hear the coaching staff's recent takes on Ben's handballing. Don't think that they have been as impressed as many here.
Been a clear directive for him to kick the ball more no doubt. Even in Hardwick's presser from the weekend he made mention of it.
