Thinking this weeks Coburg side could challenge the senior team?

If he was fit he wouldn't be playing for Coburg, so you answered your own question right there :)

What question is that? I didn't even ask one. I am quite aware if Ben was fit he'd be playing seniors. I don't get your point though. Admittedly he didn't look fit but, probably as a result, I don't think he looked anything like a football god, as you claim, out there yesterday. Others certainly stood out more. Not a criticism of a player being eased back in any way, but more an observation of how some people place him on a pedestal.

From my point of view, he looked like an AFL Brownlow medallist among VFL standard players. That was the point. I am sorry you think I am putting him on a pedestal, but his foot skills and football smarts were so much more advanced than those around him.

You don't need to turn a game upside down to show you are daylight ahead of everyone else on the field.

The difference between Ben Cousins moving around packs/passing the footy, to the VFL standard around him, was like watching a football genius running through a field of dry grass.

If you disagree with the definition of words I choose, then why argue? My point is that he looked multiple levels above those around him. If you disagree with this point, then say so!
