Cousins said, “After you play two or three seasons, you think of the possibility of a leadership role down the track, but the talk of it has certainly come a lot earlier than I would have thought.” In 2001, Cousins was named co-captain, sharing the role with Dean Kemp. He won his first club Best and Fairest at the end of the season, a feat which he repeated in 2002 and 2003, and he was again named in the All-Australian Team in 2001 and 2002.

In 2005, West Coast coach John Worsfold said of Cousins’ fifth year as captain, “Ben is improving all the time and with the way this group is coming along, I think he is going to be a great leader”.
