Yeah, you may be right, Benazir, but that sure doesn't stop me from feeling bitter that Pretty Boy Cousins got more Brownlow votes than State Captain Peter Bell. What a rort.
Let's just let this years figures speak for themselves:
Kicks
8. Peter Bell Fremantle 336
32. Ben Cousins West Coast 282
Marks
49. Peter Bell Fremantle 106
Ben doesn't rate …. not in top 100
Disposals
3. Peter Bell Fremantle 570
13. Ben Cousins West Coast 498
goals
66. Peter Bell Fremantle 20
99. Ben Cousins West Coast 17
Handballs
8. Peter Bell Fremantle 234
12. Ben Cousins West Coast 216
Tackles
23. Peter Bell Fremantle 70

equal on frees
20. Ben Cousins West Coast 26
21. Peter Bell Fremantle 26
