Interesting post.
BTW Ben is not in great physical shape.
He has rarely had soft tissue injuries through his career but had some major hamstring issues late in the season...
He will not play again IMO.
Yep as Kane Cornes said Cousins hadn't done the necessary work and it showed by him doing his hammy more than once.
Kane Cornes is jealous his not classed anywhere near Cousins
That means your saying Robert Harvey is not doing the work as well but he tears hammys
Harvey is 36 and 7 years older than Cousins and Cousins had no soft-tissue injury history before this year. His first game back from rehab was delayed due to a hammy and then he redid the hammy in the finals. His interrupted preparation due to undergoing rehab and missing so much footy would be the likely cause.
And yep Kane Cornes is no Cousins but we would kill to have him in our midfield. He also got a premiership medal before Cousins did so I'd doubt he's jealous.
Hamstrings can go anytime its nothing about whos older or younger most champions over do training they got no limit
most times its caused by over working your legs on weights & doing too much running
l can name a list of champions who do hamstrings who have very good preseasons but l'm not gunna bother going to that measure
dont know why you started talking about premiership medals that is just pure luck of the draw l seen heaps of champions in champion teams get nothing for there whole careers
Cornes is nowhere near a brownlow medalist his brother even outvoted him in a good season
the umpires dont like him cause his a mouth on the field & a dirty prick behind the play his a known kidney puncher probably a poohole puncher too
Cousins has had hamstring injuries before this year
