Ben's back! Cousins locked in for Legends Game
Ben Cousins is the latest West Coast great to commit to this month's Legends Game, with the Brownlow medallist set to lace up the boots 15 years to the week since retiring.
Cousins will take to Marvel Stadium for the August 28 clash, joining a host of big names in the return of the charity match for the first time since 2019.
The six-time All-Australian will partner 2006 premiership teammate Andrew Embley in the All Stars side, while fellow Eagles favourite Luke Shuey is locked in to line up for the Victorian outfit.

The game - to be screened on Seven - will raise funds for the Australian Prostate Centre and honours the legacy of football legend EJ Whitten, who passed away from prostate cancer in 1995.
The likes of Cyril Rioli, Gary Ablett Jr, Luke Hodge and Nick Riewoldt are all set to feature in the clash, with Shane Crawford and Tim Watson filling coaching roles.
