- Kevin Sheedy 'ambushed me' at a club function making a case to recruit Cousins.

- There was confusion initially as to whether the club would go with Cousins.

- Cousins may have a mentoring role at Coburg but it will be up to him.

- There's no regrets the club took Cousins rather than Liam Jurrah because 'they wouldn't have got him anyway'.

- Brian Cousins had a trotter running recently which ran last.

- The Tigers don't fear poaching from the Gold Coast Suns with most of the key players locked up.
