On a side note as an Eagles fan do you like Cousins better than Judd? I found it really hard to understand how Eagles fans treated Cousins like a hero when he caused so many problems for the club yet booed (still boo) Judd when he was a superb role model and they got Masten and JJ Kennedy in compensation.

Yeah I do... regardless of all the troubles he has caused I still like him better than Judd. There's just something about Cuz that makes him so likeable, He's been that way with West Coast fans since his first games with the club. Maybe it's the fact he's a WA Boy.
I'm definitely grateful for what Judd did for our club in the 6 years he was here and loved watching him in full flight at his best... But I think what really rubs most WCE fans the wrong way with Judd is that he was our Premiership Captain and he walked away from the club, Captain's aren't supposed to walk away from their clubs. Most believe that he knew he was going to leave when he took on the captaincy in 2006, and as such he really should not have taken it on knowing he was going to walk.
The other thing that bothers WCE fans is that despite getting Pick 3 (Masten), Josh Kennedy (and Tony Notte, lol)... It really should have been pick 1 and not pick 3 that we got in exchange for the best player in the comp. I believe we would have picked Cotchin with that pick.
Regardless it has turned out as one of the few genuine win-win trades.

Cousins always over judd, I think it may have a lot to do with the fact that judd was always going to leave. Every contract renewal that came up was always fraught with "is this it?" questions.
Whereas cousins was west coast through and through, and the way he went about his footy, he was a true clubman. So even though he did all those things, as a club and fan you'll always love him, and it's one of those take care of your own situations.
So much sadness when his name comes up in the media though, because I know it's only
Bad news

Goto "Analyser" then click on the "More Stats" drop down menu and click "Coaches Choice", it then brings up a table, the ownership %'s are on the right out of site (on an ipad anyway), on the ipad i just drag my finger to the left over the stats box and it scrolls across to reveal the information further to the right. Hope this helps, i'm not sure if it's the same on a PC as it is in Safari.
