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.

id have to agree with u on this one..

the AFL look like the biggest losers here, when u get 30 odd players roaming around with postive tests and not a worry in the world. Then you have cousins who has abuse issues but never tested positive. its a farce it really is

It's just not the AFL. Marion Jones showed how many holes are in the drug testing procedures when she avoided being caught for 8 years. Andrew Johns over a 10-year career knew he could get around the testing whenever he played on Friday night. Cousins wouldn't be doing rehab if he was clean.

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

Now if we got Cousins what would his nickname be. I though we could call him The Iceman, Injectorman or Snorty.   :lol

Ned.

He would probably like that. But no thanks we don't want him in his current state and attitude.

It would almost be a blockbuster at the G first round, can't have that as it is Carlton's home game.

Cousins v Judd though, I would like to see that.

I think we split the gate with Carlton anyhow.

If Cousins plays for another club next year he'll be rehabitated  :outtahere

Iceman suits him down to the ground
not cause anything to do with drugs
reminds me of a dart player from the UK The Iceman Alan Warriner
But Cousins just the ease in which he can tear away & take anyone & the game on when the heat is on
the guys a born champion he will no doubt in my mind be in that PSD & if our club dont go for him
then l'm afraid we are in trouble

Port coach Mark Williams has said he'll have Cousins tomorrow if it could be guaranteed he's drug free. Probably the view of a few clubs.
