THE Port Melbourne playing group would benefit greatly from having Ben Cousins at the club, says star midfielder David Pitt.

Pitt, who booted four goals to guide Port to a 51-point win against the Northern Bullants at Preston City Oval yesterday, said the Borough players were "excited" about the chance the Brownlow medallist will join them.

Cousins has indicated he will train and possibly play with Port to regain fitness for an AFL return next year.

"Gee he would be fantastic, we are pretty excited," Pitt said.

"I think he would help a lot of the young guys. Half our side is under 21, so if those guys can see how he trains, he\'s one of the best trainers in the AFL, those guys can see how much effort is involved to play AFL footy."
