Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again
Gardner was the only player given a lengthy suspension last year, and he was much more disposable than Cousins. This really hurts because Benny is still the unofficial team leader and possibly as valuable player as even Judd.

Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again
Unfortunately I'd say Judd will more than likely stay an Eagle now because of this.
Cousins will be finding a new home to free up the WC finances in order to resign him.

Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again
don't agree ToO, that scenario is what WC will want obviously, but aint that simple. Gives Judd a gilt edged opportunity to exit. Maybe he likes Perth I dunno. But:
Its not just Cousins, its Fletcher, Gardiner and Kerr, thet we know of. All key elite players and recurring incidents over a long period. If Judd wants leave, everyone would understand completely, plus its not like he hasn't given them good service. Whichever way you slice it, if Judd wants out, he can get out with reputation and wallet enhanced. Rosy makes a pretty basic and compelling point re his family wanting him to associate with bunch of coke-head wannabe gangsters, what is he? 23? still young and impressionable, and He is Victorian after all.

Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again
Cousins, Fletcher, Gardiner, Kerr....
The WCE really don't send the right message about what it means to be a successful young male in today's society.
Particularly not to impressionable teenage males at a time in their lives when they will be increasingly exposed to drugs in their various forms.

Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again
WC won't give Judd up without a fight and will move mountains to keep him I'd suggest.
They would be much quicker to offer up any of the other remaining problem children you mentioned than CJ.
The Weagles have a real perception problem at the moment. Sponsors would be getting very nervous. That mean lost dollars if things don't change.
Don't be surprised to see a fire sale at the end of '07 but I'm not sure Judd will be the one leaving somehow.
Still if he does I hope we make a genuine play for his services. 8)

Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again
my oath!
yeah course they'll do everything they can as you say, but he seems a pretty self-possessed bloke, which is a big reason they'd want to keep him and any side would give the grandsatnd to get him, but if he decides he wants to come home, will their best efforts be enough? We'll see.
