Here’s a little one that the media don’t know about yet. Ben Cousins has just completed paperwork to play for Old Xavs this year. 
I hope it happens and it is great to think his health is such that Ben believes he could play that competition at 46. 

 

The Herald Sun reported today that he trained with them on Thursday

Cousins makes surprise footy return at Old Xavs

West Coast and Richmond champion Ben Cousins had a kick with the Old Xavierans under-23 players at training on Thursday night, showing the brilliant midfielder has lost none of his silken touch.

Cousins, who was in Melbourne as part of an appearance on Channel 7’s award-winning ‘Front Bar’ program, trained with the Old Xavs’ third division and under-23 team and stayed for dinner afterwards.

While it was a low-key affair for the Brownlow Medallist, who is regarded as one of the greatest players of the modern era, it was a major thrill for the Old Xavs’ youngsters.

And onlookers said Cousins, who has made an incredible comeback from drug addiction, “kicked the ball beautifully” as part of a one-hour run-around at Toorak Park.

“He was fantastic with the players. He didn’t make a big fuss or anything, he just enjoyed being out there having a kick around with the guys,” an onlooker said.

“He had a chat with the guys and then had some dinner in the rooms afterwards.

“He still looks in great touch, that’s for sure.”

Cousins played 270 games for West Coast and Richmond and has been lauded for his efforts to overcome drug addiction which ended his career at the Eagles.

Cousins appears on Channel 7 in Perth and will appear on Dancing With the Stars.

No mention in that article that he’s submitted the transfer & registration form.  That was submitted today. 

 

Now there's a guy that could help teach some in the midfield especially the younger ones about the role, don't think the club would be that brave...

I’d suggest not a great look for the club, given our recent history.

Hopefully we wouldn’t be that stupid.

No it would be a good look helping a great footballer getting on his feet everyone deserves a second chance if they are serious about it, besides his knowledge would help the younger players, now guys like Carey no because he still stuffs up after coming back into the media.

I know this is only a moot point 3165 but did you say 2nd chance, Ben has had numerous chances, I hope it works out for him though but no where near Dees.


Fun Fact:

When Kolytn Tholstrup was seven years old, Ben Cousins was arrested at Esperance Airport and found to have meth stashed up his Maynard.

Definitely should ask Tholstrup about it next time he joins the podcast.

It sounds as though Ben is in a better place now, which is terrific.

Little Goffy, that Maynard is an excellent use of a proper noun!

Would be better off in Perth, with support workers and family.

Dr: Good morning QD, how can I help you today?

QD: Got a bit of a problem with my Maynard Doc.

Dr: Your Maynard you say?

QD: Yeah, bit itchy, bit inflamed, quite raw actually.

Dr: Right. I better take a look . . .

. . . Oh yes . . . goodness, gracious me. It's bad. Maynard can, and almost always, causes great irritation. Specialists have studied Maynard for a couple of years now and haven't found a cure. Maynard causes constipation in many and can simultaneously result in diarrhea and a dreadful ****ty feeling. The best thing you can do is clear your Maynard out with a freshly sharpened garden fork. Jab hard repeatedly with the fork until Maynard has turned to pulp.

While he was dealing with drug addiction he would have some serious knowledge for young players.

Why, if he's in recovery and happy with life and has moved on so be it.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
