Cousins played 238 games and put 205 goals for the west coast between 1996 and 2007, winning the prime minister in his penultimate season in Perth.
The former midfielder captained the Eagles from 2001 to 2005, ensuring the best and most fair prize in the club in four of those five seasons.

He returned to AFL in 2009 with Richmond, before retiring at the end of the 2010 season.

Cousins was imprisoned six times separated in 13 years and spent seven months after bars in 2020, when he apparently decided it was already enough.
He is now on the right path and is reading the news for seven in Western Australia, and recently appeared in Dancing with the Stars.
Cousins has said that he only regrets how long it took to clean.
“I wish I had not had to have taken so much time, and had to continue its course as it did,” he revealed to the front of last year.
'But yes, it is good to be working and busy, to have a real ambition and, you know, only connected with friends, family and even at the community level, you know.
“Life has never been better, to be honest.”
