Cousins Hamstring!!

[Quinz]

What a shame.

Pushed himself too hard by the look of things, both the club and Cousins couldn't wait to get him out there. Very disappointing.

 

[serenityNow]

send me a postcard

You dont kick a guy when he's down

yep.

I feel sorry for him.

As for Wallace....

****, Cousins was sore at 3qtr time. He was getting treatment and what not on a hammy that went the last time he played the game.

Game was gone, why not sit him out the last quarter if he had tightness or pain?

Why take the risk on a guy that has had hammy problems in the past for a game the tigers should have wrote off at 3qtr?

P.S. When i first saw it i thought he dived to prevent the Fevola contact.

 

[PrideOf]

cousins was always going to be a risk on several levels. it was part of the deal.

Risk is acceptable as long as you aren't stupid with it. There was 1% to gain by sending him back on and 99% to lose. Guess which way it went?

 

[Blues_Man]

Just out of interest. Can I see your predictor device? I'd love to know how much the premier (whichever team it is) will win by (whatsoever that number be). I assume by the tenor of your comment that you are over this issue and with your knowledge (given by predictor device or sheer brilliance) I can thus be rich after the last Saturday in September by virtue of the bet I will make presently on your infallible advice (with your money of course, because you're over the issue).

Look kid..i know you are struggling ..but it's not up to me to educate you on footy matters ..perhaps i can redirect you to the clubs who passed up on drafting Cousins ..maybe they can help you gain a fragment of knowledge as to why this was inevitable.

 

[Blues_Man]

Never good for a bloke to get injured but this does make me feel good for us not picking him up. Did shit all before it as well.

Hopefully he makes it back though.

Nice tipping by the way ..you sir really know your stuff .

 

[Skids]

Richmong are a joke of an organisation.

Tell me how this is logical;

- Player is over 30 years old.
- Player hasn't played a game of footy for 18 months.
- Player has a history of hamstring injuries.
- Player feels his hamstring tweaking in the third quarter.
- Medical staff give him a rubdown.
- Team is 10+ goals down.
- Coach sends said player back on.



That is ****ing pathetic.

Not pathetic. A risk, but not pathetic. If he'd ripped them apart, which he still may do, then you'd be silent or on the Cuz bandwagon. I do think that if your statements are correct then the Richmond medical staff stuffed up in letting him play with a tweaked hamstring. But medical staff playing a potentially injured player is not the same thing as recruiting a player based on what they believe is his upside, all things going well....Perhaps your brush is a bit wide for what you want to paint?

Oh, so the clubs know? What a load of shite. The clubs make decisions based on possibilites. They weight them up and then make a decision. None of which means their decisions are good or bad, just that they've minimized the risks. So go bite yourself with your claims of knowledge. You claimed to know something, now you appeal to self-serving (as they should be) clubs to support you weak claims. Good one.

[EDIT] You said Inspired drafting by the Richmond football club, you can tell they are gonna go places with thier inspirational drafting and superb medical team they have down there .

The Tigers never played one AFL debutant tonight..Carlton played 3 ...hmm i wonder which club drafts for the future.


To which I repeat. How do (did) you know? If Cuz played a great game and then went on to rip apart the comp. you'd not be saying what was contingent as if it were truth.

 

[BlackByrd]

SEN 1116 just reported that Ben Cousins has done his hamstring 6 times in his last 12 games he played. Ouch

Thats really quite amazing. I feel really sorry for the bloke

 

[Special Agent Utah]

Once again SEN are wrong.

Before the Port game when he did his hamstring he had missed one game in his last 26. (Not including his suspension obviously)

 

[wce4premiership]

If there's a God, cretins like you would have been stillbirth.

Agreed

I didn't think it was true when i first heard that! Still feel sorry for him though.

Thought there was something weird about that comment. I may not follow the eagles, but if benny had done a hammy six times we would all have known about it in this state.

Bad luck Ben - hopefully its not severe and your back on the track ASAP. Although with the way they played tonight, could be in your best interests to remain on the injury list.

 

[StonesThrow]

Well I didn't laugh but I dont feel any sympathy for him. I feel sorry for Richmond more.

Spewing if you had cuz and Raines in you DT. I almost did.

 

[GhostofJimJess]

So was I the only one who laughed uncontrollably when it happened

I don't which is more pathetic - that you found great amusement in a player's injury, or that you felt compelled to repeat your post from earlier in the thread after nobody gave you the time of day.

Do us all a favor. Don't ever breed.

Its not logical to risk anyones hamstring in those circumstances. Let alone Cousins hamstring.

Agreed. I thought you were implying not only was it illogical to risk Cuz' hamstring, but also because of this situation (sore hammy at 3 quarter time or given history of hamstrings) it was illogical to even recruit Cuz. After all, recruiting is just a guess. Richmond took Tambling and Hawthorn got Buddy love. It could as easily been the other way.

Work on your reading comprehension skills.

I have no problems with them recruiting Cousins, it was definitely worth the risk. I love the bloke.

All of the points I made relate specifically to this one game, and all are spot on, in relation to this one game.

He tweaked his hammy late in the third. lrn2read.

Absolute disgrace.

well put

gee there are some d_________ads on these boards

 

[Bollox]

gawwwd had no idea....the way he went down i just assumed he was heading for a sniff of the boundary line.

well, no. it was pretty pathetic. cuz was giving no indication that he was going to rip them apart. only that he was going to rip his hamstring apart. the game was gone, the old guy who is out of shape had tight hammies - they should have just shrugged and been thankful that they caught the injury before it happened.

I can't imagine that the richmond medical staff hadn't anticipated the possibility of cousins complaining of hamstring tightness (I certainly expected it). given that it is most likely an issue that they would have probably discussed during the week, I find it surprising that their conclusion was that it would be a smart thing to send him out there again. are these guys amateurs, or what??

 

[TassieSaint]

Nice tipping by the way ..you sir really know your stuff .

bit random

But cheers mate, I'm sure you've never got a tip wrong in your life

 

[The_Wolf]

I have no sympathy for the Richmond supporters who have been talking Cuz up as if he was the second coming of Christ over the summer. It was always a very big risk and it is not as if he has treated his body well over the years. Richmond are a very ordinary team and Terry Wallace has failed miserably.

He's done a few drugs, he'd still have looked after his body better than 95% of the community.

And I doubt drugs would've done anything to his hammys.

Such is life........

I laughed.

OK, I'm up for a bit of fun, and will try to read.....

You said:

Richmong are a joke of an organisation.



First statement: Richmond is a joke of an organization. This is a general statement, there is no way you could read into this something like: When Richmond do this, then Richmond are a joke. It states categorically that Richmond, no matter what, are a joke. Cool, so no problems yet.

Then you say:

Tell me how this is logical;

- Player is over 30 years old.
- Player hasn't played a game of footy for 18 months.
- Player has a history of hamstring injuries.
- Player feels his hamstring tweaking in the third quarter.
- Medical staff give him a rubdown.
- Team is 10+ goals down.
- Coach sends said player back on.

Have you ever heard of the term non-sequitur (translation: it does not follow)? Because from none of your points does it follow that Richmond are a joke. It only follows that Richmond recruited a player, with a history of injury and drug addiction, and on that player's first outing in the home-and-away season, that player got injured. Logic, you're not doing it right. Next you'll mention their lack of premiership success which has nothing to do with Cuz or Richmond's recruiting of Cuz. But as anyone can see, you seem to like conclusions that do not follow from the given premises.
