Joel Bowden was giving us more last year than Cousins is currently.

Entirely unquantifiable.
Right now Cousins is battling to hold his place in the team. I doubt many are watching with admiration.
Great to see that Mike Shehen has been reading this thread :
: : and chosen to write an article in the Sun Tuesday that Ben is at the crossroads.
*smile* off Mike you parasite all you want is for Ben to fail as it gives you pleasure. You will then go back to sticking the boot into our footy club.

Give Cousins time!
Afterall its not as if we are fighting for the last 2010 finals spot in the eight!
Watch him onfield where he is constantly chatting to our young players and giving them "on-the-job" training - positioning them - the man is an asset on the ground right now - when his body comes good in a months time he will show some sparkle of past glory.
Leave him be for now - we are in no hurry as 2010 is purely a learning year for our cubs............

Farewell game in 2 weeks against his old side will be a standing ovation as the curtain draws the end of his career.
Then we elevate Gourdis and see whether he's good enough, if not, that'll be two birds with one stone and we move on without wasting valuable time.

I too agree that Cousins time is finished. I have no issue with him playing out the year however as long as he's contributing (we will see if he improves after he gets some continuity into his footy over the coming weeks).
I also must laugh at Noddy Sheehan. Must be one of the worst journalists going around I swear. He always sits on the fence and always writes about only what is obvious to the rest of the world. For example x team wins impressivly on the weekend, Sheehan writes about that x team and how they're going to make the finals. That x team loes the next week, now that x team is suddenly in crisis.
Now I see him writing another Ben Cousins should retire or Cousins at the crossroads article after he had a bad game on the weekend. While he may have a point it's just him writing the obvious to the rest of the world. Must be his 20000000th article on Cousins and the same exact point over the last couple months. Maybe he has an agenda, I don't know. Seems obsessed though. Perhaps a tactic from him to keep pushing the point and put pressure on until Cousins retires so he gets the pleasure to say I told you say to everyone? Typical Noddy. I'm sure if by some chance Cousins is BOG this week he will come out with a Cousins could go on next year article. He goes with popular trends for the week, just a terrible, terrible journalist.

Ben Cousins is the only marketable person at the club that gets the sponsors on the front and back page of the paper. I would keep Cousins this year and next to absorb the media attention while the young players develop. Who cares wether he is at his best or not as long as he remains healthy he is worth keeping on the basis of the publicity alone.
You dont think Cousins had anything to do with our two highest membership years in the last 20 years? this will be a long long road back to success and when we win our next flag Cousins will be a forgotten man at the Tigers - but he may have helped in some small way.
I have full confidence that Hardwick & co will make the right call on Cousins.

how things change, a year ago all you armchair critic's were claiming Ben, great midfield leader, maybe midfield coach when he retires, now the bloke is struggling and your all out to get him, give him a break he is 32 not 22, let him have a few games at least to get up and running
Cousins experience showed out today in the wet. Still think his pace is an issue but played his best game of the year.
His leadership today was there for all to see. Was really firing up the boys as they were walking off at half time.
