Inagine if Richmond announced that cousins has been signed in a coaching and running role within the club. He would love running around, imparting knowledge on the younger players and remain an integral part of the club without the threat of holding younger players back. This way he can continue to be a positive influence and everyone wins.

Do you guys often wonder how blokes like himself would handle having to be the bloke behind someone who doesnt have the same talent. The move to a coaching role or any role in a club must be frustrating for some players.

I think Wayne Carey struggled.

Leigh Matthews did OK?
 
Hence why the best coaches are those who were the working class players. That and they had to think a lot about their game, didn't come naturally.
 
great idea, but i reckon Bens got more going on

by the way this thread title would be massacred in bay 13
lol
Agree on both points.
Hell let's get him a job at Macca's or Safeway as well to sweeten the deal. He could not possibly say no.

carey didn't struggle - he was regarded highly, just had off field issues
 
Ideallogicaly sound
Practically crap

It'll be interesting to see what he gets himself into tho. He has talked about some business interests with friends. Could see himself getting to co-purchasing a pub or club, like a whole bunch of other ex-footballers. Then theres the obligatory fashion label :eek:.
Tho, he's got the aura to be able to be the face of a start-up trendy business (like the done-to-death juice bars). As long as his friends have got the business sense.
