I'll tell you what if this is not enough to hang Christian Nixon nothing will. Whatever happened to privacy? What right did Collingwood have to ask the Victorian Police Commissioner for her opinion (useless woman anyway, just ask a local copper!). I'm still fuming about this, about our gutlessness as a club. We could have supported Ben in his rehabilitation and been part of a great story.
Personally I hope whoever gets him now has a great season and that Benny goes close to winning a Brownlow. Then maybe one or two people at the club will fall on their swords.

No, not if our midfield remains so impotent!Alec. J. Hidell wrote:So we're agreed then?
The decision is the correct one?
Just one question for everyone: What if our young blokes DON'T take their career to the next level? I can see Hawthorn winning two or three more flags with their current team, Geelong maybe another one, and I reckon the Scum will get one before we ever do again.

Well said Lois. We're on the same wavelength. Collingwood the safe club for people who don't want to take risks.lois1 wrote:I don't understand this at all.If Cousins is too much of a risk for Collingwood then why isn't he too much of a risk for St Kilda?And what did we have to lose by recruiting him anyway?We could have picked him for nothing without having to give up a player for him.Where's the risk in that?Even if it hadn't worked out,we still wouldn't have lost anything.Oh,well,it's going to be fun watching him tear our c grade midfield to pieces next year for St KIlda just as its been fun watching Judd tear our team to pieces this year.
That's why we've only won three flags since 1936!

Collingwood prove again that they are a 'brand' and not a 'football club'.
He was worth the risk, in more ways than one. You think we have no one at the club who does drugs in their off time? Is Didak NOT an alcoholic? Lets get real, this is bullshit.....
Cousins is an absolute gun and, if he returns and resumes the form he showed in 2007 when he came back from rehab, then this club will be the laughing stock of 2009. Mark my words, feel free to do so......
They are pathetic. Oh and also, when Carlton finish above us and march on towards their next premiership while we languish, think of the great job and decisions made by Eddie, Mick and co.
No wonder we have won **** all for so long. Powerhouse my arse, they are a disgrace.

Stewie Dew was a master stroke. His third quarter swung the GF the Hawks way. They had the foresight to see what he could give the team. Geelong picked up Brad Ottens remember. But credit where it's due, we did get Medhurst - I'll pay that one. But there is a mighty big hole in the middle of our gameplan. Missing out on Judd was the killer last season.Rowdy31 wrote:I hear what everyone has been saying and I'm wondering whether Hawthorn or Geelong have recruited any "big name" players in recent years or has all their talent been home grown?

good for you..... You accept mediocrity. I don't and the club has done **** all to rectify that in recent years. So if I want to vent, I will. You can **** off if you like.....Alec. J.

The reason the scum will finish ahead of us is because they are cheats and because they've had a heap of No.1 draft picks over the past few years. The Godfather hands out cash filled paper bags like they are going out of fashion. They have cheated(Harmes) and rorted in the past and they still do it as it's in their culture to do so.Oh and also, when Carlton finish above us and march on towards their next premiership while we languish, think of the great job and decisions made by Eddie, Mick and co.
