10.51 left in the last quarter, Morton kicks second goal in a row, tigers down by a few points, tigers on a roll - in with a massive chance. Cotchin getting a rub down near the bench and Cousins is standing on top of him, in his ear, pumping him up and giving him advice on how we can pinch it. It's obvious the 2 are close and cuz has taken the chimp under his wing.
When was the last time a senior player has shown this much on field leadership and took it upon himself to teach, encourage and mentor the young players like cousins has. I remember the days when the gaspars, bowdens and kellaways would just put their head down, sulk and walk quietly off the ground after another hiding and the kids would be thinking what the hell is going on.
Lack of leaders, mentors, positive role models, and constant encouragement has been the biggest cancer at this club for over 25 years. our so called leaders have been introverted and selfish, but this wasn't their fault as they didn't have anyone to show them the way before them.
well done cuz, shame you couldn't go on for one more year.
one thread is enough to cop a pounding on ;D
