Re: Ben Cousins Returns to Footy
Even though his negatives outweigh the postives over the last 18 months for Ben Cousins, he would be a good addition to our midfield.
If we got a chance to pick him up the same thing could happen with our other young midfielders get less attention. Look what happened at Carlton when Judd came. He gets the first tag and the young up and comers don't. I know we are rebuilding but having Ben for a couple of years wouldn help the club with experience and skills for the young blokes. A good assest even though there is baggage.

Re: Ben Cousins Returns to Footy
stay away
it's not just on the field that you have to look at
if he gets in any trouble again then it could destroy the brand of a club with implications on sponsorship/membership etc.
to big a risk for the RFC

Re: Ben Cousins Returns to Footy
So he'll be available in the Nat draft eh!
Player of his class, we'd be silly to let him slide past our 2nd rounder.

I don't think the Tiges need the baggage. We've dragged enough of our own around for years, so let's keep doing what we are doing now and develop our new culture. Might take a year or two longer but a much safer bet.

Re: Ben Cousins Returns to Footy
I was just going to say something similiar, I am not sure you can just come from no where and enter the pre-season draft, otherwise this would be a loophole in the system with players picking where they want to go.
I am not up to speed with all the rules, but would say he has to re-enter the system via the ND.

Re: Ben Cousins Returns to Footy
Great footy player and would be a great addition to any mid field in the competition. However, we can't afford to take the risk on him. I would much prefer to continue down the youth policy pathway, which is more important than ever, given the likelihood that two more clubs will enter the competition.
Sorry Ben, but you're not welcome.

Re: Ben Cousins Returns to Footy
If took him with our first or second draft selection, I would be rope-able.
It would be incredibly short sighted and has the potential to make the McMahon deal look like genius.
PSD would be a different story, if he's passed as fit.

Re: Ben Cousins Returns to Footy
Perfect fit for the Doggies. Makes sense. If fit and healthy.
Has three to four years left in his body. Would slide into a good side, Dogs & Cats & maybe the Lions or Swans but you wouldn't him in Sydney. I like Doggies or Geelong.
I would take him in the PSD if it is shallow on. No nat draft picks.

Re: Ben Cousins Returns to Footy
With draft picks being so prized, i cant see any club wasting an early pick on him. Would absolutely laugh if the Cats picked him up. That would be like magic johnson going to the chicago bulls in the 91 season.
