I also, will welcome Ben Cousins to stkildas seriously flawed midfield.

He will add what we are missing.

Leigh Tudor has been a very successful coach of Geelong's VFL side, and has been involved with the development of their success.

Played some AFL mainly as a forward in successful Geelong sides too.

Wonder if he will be midfield or forwards coach?

Pretty good pickup I reckon.

Played 8 games with North Melbourne and 60 games with Geelong. Assistant coach at the Calder Cannons from 2001-2003, senior coach at the Western Jets in 2004 and VFL coach of Geelong from 2005 until 2008.
