Said it before but regardless of whether he is playing next year he should be contracted to the club as a specialist/skills coach.

Sorry but this is garbage Pope.

Saw both Cotchin and Riewoldt do interviews and answered the question on whethe Cousins should play on next year. Both answered without thinking saying yes, he's so professional and everyone has something new to learn off him etc.

Can only go off that sort of information of how his peers rate him.

Premiership experience doesn't grow on trees.

There just isn't a good reason to let him go if he wants to play on. Simple as that.

Exactly Jake. If he comes back in and continues to perform then why let him go when there are plenty of others at Coburg ahead of him actually clogging out list and contributing nothing to the senior team.

Was happy that we have pushed west coast to the bottom.

Was the bold said tongue in cheek? The Perth media would run with it he meant it.

Cuz has been like an 8 y.o. even on the ground after a win. Never seen a guy so happy and running around after his teammates after a H/A win.

He was also guest in the Player CLub function before the game and was super impressive. Even took questions from the floor

* wants to play in 2011

* loves being part of the RFC, the supporters have incredibly supportive of him since he has been at the club

* loves being involved with the young players, gets a real thrill out of helping in their development

* was asked if he would like to get involve in coachin. Said that early in his career he would have said NO WAY but now he's change his view since he's been at Richmond. Being involved in helping the development of the players has been something he's really enjoyed and would like to reamin involved going forward

* spoke about how hard it is for kids being drafted these days. He said when he was 17/18 he dind't need to go into the draft because he was eligible to go to 3 clubs (WCE, Freo & Geelong) under the father son rule so he didn't actually have to nominate. But having been through the draft 29-30 and knowing how tough it was for him at that age he said people really need to understand and appreciate how tough it is for a 17-18 y.o to move in some case to the other side of the country and as a result we should be at times more patient with their development

That's all I can remember for now  ;D

Interesting and good news for our cubs if he'd like a development coaching role.

I'm worried if we don't resign him the AFL, the media or another club with throw huge $$$ at him to work for them and we lose him.

The AFL want to see the back of him according to whispers.

Can't see him going to another club and if push came to shove we'd have more cap room than most (but I really doubt anyone else would com in for him given he's got probably on year in him)

Media - who knows with his history if he is employable in the media?
