James Cousins, take a bow young man. Super football

Only concern is we now already have a lot of players in his role. The senior team really needs outside players at the minute in terms of mids.
Can he be effective when not on the ball? Would be the biggest thing holding him back.

Cousins would need to be a top 20-30 mid to not need to be goo at any other roles. All our mids spend some time elsewhere. Just a reality of modern footy.Quite possibly yeah. You could also argue that there have been many top line midfielders who don't necessarily have a secondary position (Mitchell being a good example), but on the other hand, we know Clarkson likes his players to have some sort of versatility
I like what he brings to the table so far in his career however
It's not even necessarily that he would have to be versatile to be selected. Just that Mitchell, O'Meara, Shiels and Worpel are all in the 22 and all have on ball as their best position with their second best position way behind. Shiels can at least have a good run through a wing and O'Meara gets rested forward (to limited success). We were so effective at rotating our centre square back in the three-peat because only really Sewell couldn't play another position. Even Mitch started playing outside behind the ball at the end. Now our mids are a lot more limited in their roles it seems.Quite possibly yeah.

Is 3WBC working now?
They have been jizzing over port all day.Commentators on the VFL stream clearly have money on Port. Blatant supporting, especially after that last goal
