Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]

Hard to disagree with the "Ben's gone" theme BUT Momenetai is a lawyer and he does have a legal point ie if Ben fronts the AFL hearing and states his hospitalisation in the US was because of depression, how does anybody prove otherwise?

With the privacy provisions regarding medical records in place, I'm not sure the AFL would have the gumption to suspend him and face the possible legal challenges. If he wasn't charged with "disrepute" before the latest Perth incident AND all the Perth charges are dropped AND the US records aren't available, how can any charge be legally sustained ?

Mind you, they might test him the day he appears AND then all bets are off :

Momenetai is a lawyer

You live and you learn. I wouldn't have picked that, then again we probably wouldn't come close if guessing what other PREnders do for a living.

Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]

The Ben Cousins saga just keeps on rolling...again stating today he 'absolutely' wants to play again next year. Gee its going to be very interesting to see how this pans out...in my mind Mr.Miller wont be signing any deals with duds like Richards just yet.....

Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]

To attempt to put his ability in some sort of context, I would put his last five years behind that of only only Judd, Brown and possibly Pavlich?

Putting to one side for the moment the self inflicted kind, he has also been remarkably free of injury and a reasonable expectation might be that he will be able to play on for another 5 years.

Can't imagine that Miller and co are not examining all possibilities at this stage, especially given that we have the opportunity to get him for nothing..

Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]

We must draft Cousinns in the PSD, Even if he does not play for a year.

Remember tow sets of rules. One set of rules for the superstarts. The other set of rules for everyone else.

Re: Cousins: The poll. Do you want the Tigers to draft Ben Cousins?

I love to see people happy JB, have yourself a good time, such is (a short) life, live life to the max, only here for a good time not a long time. ;D

JB, time to get over it and let whatever happens, happen. Lighten up a little and stop being so meladramatic. :spin

Get over what?

I'm not sure how closely you read posts but it would be more accurate to suggest to me that it is not the end of the world if we don't get Cousins.

Silly post. You're a manic depressive with an alchohol problem that lives in a caravan. You'll bawl your eyes out if we dont get Cuz.

I thought james brayshaw was always a shandy type?

I'll make sure to include a couple of bottles of lemonade with the case of beer.

Re: Cousins: The poll. Do you want the Tigers to draft Ben Cousins?

Shandy, Bacardi Breezers, West Coast Cooler, Pimms.

Think refreshments Grandmothers drink after a hot day in the garden & you'll be near the mark TOO.

Only light beer shandy's Tooheys. I can only have one or two heavy beer shandy's before I feel a bit ill.

Do they still sell that stuff? Surely not. Or are these bottles left-overs from the 80's?
