Cousins gets no votes

[goswannie14]

No one getting more than 30 possessions plays anything less than a good game.

Not these days. With the chipping around sideways, backwards and occassionally forwards it is easy for some one to pick up over 30 possessions. Players can do that and not had any impact on the game, to me that means they haven't had a good game.

Exactly GS14,just like i said previously Joel Bowden ring any bells.

It seems to more a reflection on how much attention/respect our boys paid him on the night.....diddly squat

Roos seems to have a standard for a former West Coast Captain and another for a former Swan's Cap'n . One will always wonder why? He wouldnt win a debate on this one.

39 Possessions.....too much of the ball...why are we constantly letting teams get too far ahead and then surging home.

Forget about Cousins, metrosexuals with feature wall haircuts deserve nothing. The less publicity we give this swine the better we all be.

Remember Angwin and co. from Carlton? Why wasnt Cousins dealt the same fate?

You want to run that one by us again?

My contempt for Cousins knows no bounds.

I have no doubt the Swans' vote for Cousins reflects the football world's opinion of him.

I have no doubt the obsession here over Cousins knows no bounds...

Angwin was a nobody and a bad egg before he joined the Blues and I'm sure Carlton knew they were in for a tough ride when they recruited him.

Cousins on the other hand is a highly rated and skilled midfielder and is treated like a god here in WA. Since the majority of the population are West Coke supporters, he'll always be forgiven regardless of what stupidity he gets himself into and hence the admiration for his "heroic" comeback.

Or maybe it reflects the opinion that the coaches had of the relative importance of other West Coast players during the game. If the coaches had stacked their top vote getters with Swans players, maybe it would be eye raising. But its hard to argue against the influence Cox, Hansen and Kerr had on that game and seems entirely reasonable that Roos and co would deem their games better.

Liz... I think the coaches only rate the opposition in that circumstance..they don't consider their own guys. But a 30+ pssession game wd normally get you in the top 5..surely?

Nah - pretty sure they pick their best five players from the game from either side. When Roos was asked about his non-vote for Cousins he mentioned there have been games where his coaching team gave Hall 5 votes and yet he got nothing from the opposition.
