That he retires today, 3aw so make of it what you wil......
-
There a bit late, he wanted to retire 4 weeks ago
-
Would not surprise me one iota. He had these thoughts even before returning to the game after he was suspended by the AFL.
Last year he did very well and met his challenges but now must really be wondering why he's bothering.
Once a player gets that thought in his head it's hard to shake.
If he does retire can we promote a rookie?

No.

When Harf apologised on last week for the rumour he started he said he 'went a bit early' and that he had good mail.
-
Cousins was on Nova this morning and said that he is not retiring.
He then went on to joke that if he was going to retire he would give that exclusive to Caro because she has always been so good to him and he likes to look after his own. Quite amusing I am sure there will be a podcast put up later today.
So yeah I guess they 'went a bit early' again.
-
I sincerely hope he plays on till the end of the year, if for nothing else, just to prove all the rumour mongers wrong
-
I'd love if Cuz was spreading these rumours himself just to mess with the media people.

because he has an idea and has been on the money in the past
why is it u get upset just because he may be more in the know than u?
-
I want to apologise to all on OER
I was on the same flight as Cuz coming home from Perth.
I should have asked if he was retiring instead of simply asking "how's things?"
I hand my head in shame

Richmond's Ben Cousins laughs off retirement rumours on Nova 100

BEN Cousins says he is "going along nicely", despite rumours that he is on the verge of retirement from AFL.
Speaking to Hughesy and Kate on his regular Nova 100 slot about the rumour which was suggested on 3AW radio this morning, Cousins playfully said he had something to announce after a commercial break.
When he was back on air, he asked "Is this people willing me to retire?", before sarcastically suggesting that he would not do so before giving Fairfax AFL journalist Caroline Wilson the exclusive.

When he was asked if the rumours annoyed him, Cousins replied: “It is a bit over the top, you can’t let it get you down, I am still pretty buoyant, I have bigger problems."
“I am going along nicely, I am enjoying my footy.
"I probably hit the season a little underdone. I am probably only going to get better as the year goes on.
"We are a young, developing side that I think there is some real progress to be made. I am enjoying the ride.”
Despite Richmond's dreadful start to the AFL season, Cousins said that coach Damien Hardwick was "great" and had "been fantastic" during their torrid opening rounds.
“He is great, he’s been fantastic, he is buoyant," Cousins said.
"For a side that is zero and five, I don’t think that is a true reflection of the buoyancy or the atmosphere within the change room.
"When we started the season we knew where we were at. We were started at the bottom, the only way was forward and that was going to take some time ... There is going to be the odd shellacking.
"There’s some good sides out there. It doesn’t take a hell of a lot to lose by 10 goals.”
