absolutle GUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Lousy 38 poss and 5 tackles plus should be a goal as well. WOW
He was VERY important at the end too, when we could easily have lost this game.

I also watched the game and seeing Ben run out and get that ovation was amazing. Good to see him back. Wow 38 possessions on his comeback game was just one possession short of equalling his personal best. I guess I will get to see him in action next Friday night when you guys play the Doggies at Telstra Dome - I am glad his comeback was this week. ;)

Awesome footy player. Best Eagle ever, Judd could overtake him though.
I don't think I have been so proud to be an Eagles supporter for a long time, apart from the Grand Final of course.

Whatever views you have regarding what he does in his own time you cannot deny that the guy can play football as well as the best of them.
Tonight showed just how much he means to our team.
It was also good to see him pat Judd on the back and make sure it was Judd lead the team out onto the field when they came out of the race.
Edit : Kudos to Dry Rot for starting this thread. Your views are appreciated.

Very good performance. Some up and under kicking throughout but probably a hamstring related issue. In a few weeks will see the penetration in the kicks hopefully and he'll be twice as good!
Thanks Dry Rot, your views are appreciated.
Many many whinging little bitches on BigFooty tonight. It's fantastic.
Stenglein's a Champ!

Haven't been this proud since the grand final last year. To all of Ben's knockers, especially those that said his recreational drug use was performance enhancing.... SUUUUUUUUUUCK IIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTT
The guy is a champion. Deal with it.
Great to see him back....a much needed cool head in pressure situations
38 touches :eek::thumbsu:

i was listening to the radio adter and some collingwood bogan called up and absouletly ripped into cousins and called him a filthy druggie. the host then told him to get a job, dont be so jealous about a superstar and hung up on him :D

Ben Cousins...you are the heart and soul of this football club!
Thank you for fighting back, and thank you for letting me witness something truely special tonight.
I can't believe I lucked out with the bosses tickets for the game tonight! It was an absolute honour to watch it in all close up!
On that note...new stadium now! I'm sick of being an avid fan who is stuck on the waiting list and can't go to games :(
Gee Eagles v Swans matches are great to watch. Well done to the Swans to fight it out.
Come on, it was 12 points - that's a drubbing by the standards of Eagles/Swans games.

Sincere congratulations to Ben Cousins. Amazing comeback last night, 38 touches and in general just a great game. Welcome back champion.

An amazing comeback. I just couldn't believe how clean his touches were after being out of the game for so long.

I rate his influence on the team higher than Judd's - the other players have no choice but to lift when he is on song.
Definitely the on-field leader...still.
Just a 38 possy game - slips back in with great ease!!!
Should have had a goal after laying the tackle on Mcveigh - but Juddy had to be a hog and kick it :D

Man it was fantastic to see the heart and soul of the eagles back, well done CHAMP.:D
I pencilled Ben in for 15 touches!
Well anyway, welcome back Ben great to see that hard running game again.
Cheers Dry. :thumbsu:

I think and always have thought he is the best player in the league, i'm not sure anyone is as effective as he is what a gun. He reads the play so well that he pretty much gets the ball with ease.
