How far the cherry?BEN Cousins didn't crack it for a top-10 finish in the Jack Dyer Medal race. This would have seemed a little odd to those who thought he was not infrequently among the top two or three Tigers players in matches during the season.
To regular observers, the Richmond best-and-fairest award remains a constant source of top-drawer puzzlement.
The case of Shane Tuck might provoke another head-scratch or two. First they tried to trade him off, then they didn't select him for a substantial portion of the season, and finally he secures fifth place in the best and fairest.
When that Chinese philosopher bloke coined the famous curse, "May you live in interesting times", apparently he had Tigerland in mind. The times are certainly never less than interesting there.
