May 2nd 2009 10:09
RICHMOND midfielder Ben Cousins is in line for a recall after making an impressive return from a hamstring njury with VFL affiliate Coburg Tigers.
Cousins, who suffered the injury in the round one loss to Carlton, collected 27 possessions and four marks in his side's 42-point loss to Melbourne affiliate Casey Scorpions.
The former West Coast skipper left the field late in the final term and immediately iced both his knees.
But Richmond officials said it was purely a precautionary measure.
Tigers young gun Trent Cotchin, ruckman Troy Simmonds and Andrew Raines also came through the match without injury.
Melbourne's No.1 draft pick Jack Watts also made his first senior appearance for Casey and booted three goals in a promising performance.
