Hope he wins a Brownlow. Not that the morally elite would ever allow it.

Rather have a drug problem than be a w**e basher ya TOOL
I am sure people would applaud or whatever, but I hope to god there are no embarrassing banners like the last time. By now those idiots must understand that drug addiction is a constant struggle and it is way too early to give him kudos for "overcoming" it.
i personally think in the end west coast did the right thing by delisting him and starting fresh because he did make mistakes that were bad for the club. i think everyone involved with west coast should be happy (and those inside the club probably are) to see him recovering and playing afl again even though it cant possibly be with us, and we need to understand that as well. but i also think its great if he gets a chance elsewhere and i hope we can see him play some good footy for richmond or whoever. he deserves another shot and is a brilliant player to watch so hopefully he goes alright except against the eagles aha

Its just magic watching plays like that, I remember theres a U-Tube one where Judd, Cousins and Kerr are handballing it too each other running the ball down the line and it was just all class and you knew the opposition didnt stand a chance.
Judd bounce its called and it was actually to get the ball out of a monster tight as pack it was a combo of cousins kerr and judd handballing it out of the pack.

Wow, that is pretty awesome from Ben, Chris and Daniel.
My favourite piece of Eagles footage over the last five years by far....Its the best passage of play you will see from a midfield group for a long time.
The hardness and dog like Kerr, Cousins apetite and burst from the pack, Kerrs freak handball, Judd's explosion and sidestep/left hand bounce at the same time.
Doesn't get any better!!!

Sure that Judd bounce was good but does anyone ever watch the rest of that play? He turned the ball over and IIRC Adelaide scored off the turnover.
pfft he kicked it long and out in front of Hunter 1 v 1 and it rolled right past Hunter who didnt claim it... hardly a 'turnover' of worthwhile criticism
The play against the bulldogs when cousins gets the goal is better. Pure midfield dominance, if only judd got a touch somewhere as well.
It wasn't a kick that favoured the forward, that is for sure.
Either way, it was a good midfield display, but in typical WC fashion at the time, it was quickly rebounded from the forward line by Adelaide.
No, he said he wanted to be a one club player, but he said he understood why it could not happen.
It was not his decision, it was that of WC.

who gives a **** we won that game and the flag. did you see how many adelaide players were in our 50 when he kicked it. and he wouldve been gutted and exhausted after all that.
It would have been better if it was a good finish.

The AFL has rejected Richmond's application to put Polak on the rookie list, denying Richmond a second pick in the PSD. Richmond have previously stated they are committed to drafting a youngster with their first pick.
Apart from a dramatic reversal in the next 24 hours, it appears it's all over for Cousins.

It sucks really, I was looking forward to seeing him play at Richmond. Ah well..
