Yes take but send him away for a year, NO!
He can play next year, there is no better way to get off an addiction when you are training your arse off.
I would assume.

It won't happen we just aren't that lucky.
I hope it does, but watch some extraordinary circumstance divulge it's head and bend us over.
Our coaches and admin just don't have that win at all costs, winning is the ONLY thing mentality.
They won't make it happen.
Is it any wonder we are where we are?

Shocking story. So difficult to lay blame at any single person though. A victim of circumstance and an obvious lack of knowledge on Geelong's behalf with regard to how to deal with it - but they certainly wouldn't have been alone.
"There's still a lot of blaming and a lot of finger-pointing going on here," he said. "There's a lot of, 'He did this and you should have done that'. But having said that, there comes a point where an individual has to take responsibility for his own actions." - Ben Gale. Also a valid point.

Except if he goes completely off the rails whilst he's sitting out of the game.
Then we are a player short for two years with a whole heap of negative press to go with it.
Nothing is for free.

Re: Cousins: The poll. Do you want the Tigers to draft Ben Cousins?
There would be little negative press for the Tigers. We gave him a chance, he blew it- so again Cousins would cop the negative press.
Playing with Guy Richards is arguably playing a player short as well.

Re: Cousins: The poll. Do you want the Tigers to draft Ben Cousins?
Certainly agree re Richards.
Re Cousins though no doubt there would be some negative press towards our club if he has ongoing problems and if we punt him because of it then we are further behind the 8 ball than we are already.
Richmond sells papers and of course they will take us to task on the decision we make, particularly if he does fall over. You can bet on it.
After all we have the choice not to select this player.
You have to expect the good with the bad jb. Can't just take all the credit if he does well.
Life doesn't work that way.
Whatever happens I hope the club is aware of it's responsibilities and makes a very carefully considered decision.

Re: Cousins: The poll. Do you want the Tigers to draft Ben Cousins?
I have it all worked out. If we pick him and he succeeds, I'm taking all the credit. If it blows up in our face I'm blaming you for your constant negativity. ;D
