Ben Cousins a Tiger (Merged)

why,because they kept their selection a secret.Tigers of Old said:
F&*K the media and everyone,they don`t have to be told anything,i mean anything, as to who we might or might not be taking in any draft.
i`m rapt that we deceived everyone,especially the other clubs that we probably weren`t going to take cousins.
this is a competition,the richmond football club has been way to nice and submissive for way too long.
While I have been against drafting Cousins and would rather have had the club stick to the youth and making our own champions....the pick has been done and Cousins is now a Tiger.
While I disagree with the decision I will support Cousins and hope he plays well for the team and the club I support.
It is a msssive risk for the club...and a fine line between 'hero' and 'zero'...with the fallout big in terms of sponsorship and our decision-making if things go awry....if things go well, then we will be lauded as a club that showed some bravery by taking the risk and helping Cousins turn his life around.
Ben Cousins failing will open the door for supporters who were against this decision to say 'told you so'....and while it would be good for my own ego to be right again, the club is bigger than any individual, and I will be more than happy to take the flak from supporters who wanted Cousins if things go well.
For the club I really hope this works out.
Go Tigers and Go Cuz! 8)

yeah it's time to "show us the money" Mr Dimmatina - $300 large wasn't it?rensman said:
would expect a membership increase from the fairer sex (and blokes of other persuasions). You know what they say about women and bad boys. My wife (Crows supporter) want's a topless picture on the fridge next to my Tiger guernsey onebtoz_01 said:

Fortune favours the brave. At last Richmond has taken on the AFL and some other clubs, taken a few knocks but come out with the prize. The way I figure it they all said they wanted Cousins to have another chance........ but let someone else do it. We deserve credit for trying. It's up to us to support the club and Benny now.

Yep...go down and get your membership....the ones who cut theirs yesterday better get a roll of sticky-tape....and they better close the Monash so tools can find the ones that got thrown out of car windows yesterday as well... :hihi

Thats one of the things I am still 'nervous' about...the media hype aurrounding Cousins will continue all year, on and off the field.
I hope our other players, especially the younger ones can tolerate it.
Maybe the club can move training more often and have it 'closed doors' simply to let Ben train without all the media scrutinising his every move and for the younger players to also train and concentrate without a media circus.
We've got him now...we have to deal with it and concentrate on footy and planning for the new season ahead.
the hype will probably take the heat off our younger players livers.
gee ricky nixon said some great things about richmond just now on SEN.
"a club on the rise,a massive club that`s well coached and well administered"

Hopefully Mopsy.
Only time will tell.
I guess the only other two precedents I can think of were Carey getting to the Crows and Judd to Carlton....how did the media hype surrounding these two effect the rest of the team then?
