Review

In his second year at the club, James Cousins added another four senior games to the three he played in his debut season.

Cousins’ four outings at AFL level this year were confined to a five-week period between Rounds 5 and 9, where he played primarily through the midfield and forward line.

The 20-year-old excelled at VFL level this year, averaging 25 possessions, five tackles and four marks through his 16 games for Box Hill this year.

He was one of the premiers’ best inside ball-winners but also showed an improved ability this year to spread from stoppage and gain possession on the outside as well.

Cousins tallied 30 or more disposals on four occasions for Box Hill this year and averaged just shy of 10 handball receives per game.
