I always thought that the number of touches you had did not determine how well you had played. Considering (and I am not making excuses) that West Coast had their best team on the ground and we were undermanned as well as a couple of under the weather players perhaps Cousin's influence wasn't that great. It is ok to be effective and gather possessions if the player playing against you is not playing that well eg Barry Hall's 4 goals against Carlton. I question why this is an issue, the coaches can vote for who they want to without the media trying to make it like a witch hunt.
For someone who is so calm and meditated, he is very forgetful.I can't remember who we voted for, to be honest
His first 9 possessions were non effective.
So while he got a heap of the football what he did with it (especially early) didn't have an impact on the game the same as Kerr, Cox or even Chick from a pressure point of view.

"Looking forward to a rebuilt, new, fast and exciting Swans model in 2010"
Fair points, but I'm sure if a Swan picked up 39 possessions we'd be hailing what a great game it was, regardless of how effective they were.

It's a bit average IMO......
38 posessions and not a single vote??? If it were 3 votes, maybe....
But a 5 vote system and he doen't even rate 1??
Fair suck of the old savaloy....
I don't think he was as important as Cox, Kerr or even Hansen and given we only got beaten by 12 points, we probably deserved a player or two in the votes.
I have seen Cousins play better games than that.

Maybe our coaches thought he had outside help?

YOU BETCHA!!!!!!
It seems to more a reflection on how much attention/respect our boys paid him on the night.....diddly squat
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
