Close. It's more like:

Ben Cousins , Ben Cousins , Free kick - West Coast, Ben Cousins , free kick Eagles, Cousins , Cousins , Ohh... too high - free kick West Coast, Ben Cousins, in the back - free kick Eagles ... etc.

I'll certainly be looking forward to tomorrows Sunday Times...

[alison.z]

so true - even my parents (not particularly interested in the sport and not bias to any team) are commenting on the ridiculous adulation he is getting ... it's not like he overcame a debilitating injury courageously ... he (maybe) recovered from a self induced drug addition... what a ****!!!

[Casey36]

Oh, and the camera man seem to love him just as much too.

Unfortunately that was largely due to the fact we were abysmal at manning him up.

Otherwise I 100% agree about the comments made about the adulation he is receiving. It is embarrassing that the commentators did not acknowledge once that this guy had a drug addiction, and kept comparing him to players who had made comebacks from injury.

[Legs Akimbo]

Before tonight I had respect for Tim Lane. Sickening.

It was ridiculous commentary. Tim Lane re Cousins sounded like Bruce when he used to salivate over Carey. Hang your heads Channel 10 commentators.

[Teasdale77]

my daughter in Canberra is a casual fan and she sent me a text message at the half -

"Good game so far, but if i hear one more thing about benny and his comeback, my TV is going through the window!"

I could only LOLOLOL

[Xie Shan]

Just on the commentary, did anyone watch the NAB "Analyzer"? Vossy could have saved his breath and just said 'both teams getting numbers back'!

[Bas]

First game in Rd 15 and he gets 38 possessions. Makes me scratch my head. I hope he's asked to give a sample tonight.

Only matter of time before the wheels fall off for Mr Comeback!

[573v30]

He's meant to give a urine sample after every game, I doubt it though.

I sure can't wait for McAvaney harping on about Cousins on Friday night. Oh wait, Channel 7 don't show live games here so I'll listen to ABC instead and hopefully I won't have to listen to verbal diarrhoea after all.

[cruiser]

As well as Cousins played tonight, the commentary, particularly Tim Lane, was so over the top in its almost non stop adulation in praise of Cousins that I may write to Ch 10 and the AFL to complain.
