Ben Cousins - He's back (now at Richmond) [Merged Threads]

[Magpie_Dan]

Grouse, hope he signs with us!!!

[Fire Up]

if cousins goes in the 1st draft in nov. we should get him with our 1st pick, it wil be a risk but 1 that could pay off. as we have a young side already. then we can get young players with our other picks.

but then on the other side of the coin the gold coast side will be coming in a few years so i guess topping up on young players could be a bonus as well

Carlton - Would be interested, but probably falls outside their premiership window. More likely to trade for Kerr or Warnock. Need to fix their forward line and defence first.

Ha, just watch the Scum pull this deal out of their *&^%$.

I reckon they must have plenty of room in their salary cap since they are paying their stars through under-the-table deals. And I'm not joking, how else can they find room for Warnock? Once a salary rorting cheat, always...old habits die hard...etc.

The only question is this: Will the Scum money supply dry up when a certain "former" president goes to prison?

So with our first pick, you want us to take a 2 year player instead of a 10 year player?

Yeah right!!

[blacknwhiteatheart]

i tink we will get him, thought it for a while, i actually think its already organised......

[uuuuu..... The LoneSTAR]

Hopefully a deal can be brokered with the AFL somehow to only allow Collingwood to draft him if he nominated for the draft but i dont see this happening.

Although anything is possible with Ed

Unfortunately I doubt that will be anytime soon with the legal team his money can buy.

I'm not prepared to wait ten more years for a flag Frank!!! Sorry.

i hate this time of year.........so much BS flying around.

Me too, wish I could fast forward to Friday 2pm of trade week, the suspense is killing me, especially with the Dids factor this year.

dont know about you BUT i want pies to win a flag like within the next 3-5 years NOT wait another 32 years for another 1. look at the side we have atm we have the team to do it.

Have i missed something, he has been given the option over entering the pre season draft and putting a price on his head to nominate a club. Not sure what this has to do with first round picks....

I know this
Cousins is not as valuable as pick 11 in this years draft

Once you have got that worked out, the rest is easy

when u get some brains and relize that getting cousins then a 18 yo raw kid will be better for our side for a grand final win.

come talk some more when grow up and face it a cousins will help our side more then what a 18 yo will, who will only play 1-6 games (maybe in his 1st year)
