Umm, not quite right.

Hutchy said "Cousins has a leaning towards Collingwood, but nothing has been decided"

A long way from the 'beat up' of the OP

Guys the Age also rteported that Sydney are definately interested in Kerr or Didak.

Hypothetical situation

We trade Didak to Sydney?

Sydney give us their first round pick pick 12 plus Jude Bolton ?

Collingwood on trade our first round pick pick 11 and Sydney's pick 12 to West coast?

Collingwood lose Didak,pick 11 and 12.

But we gain Kerr,Bolton and Cousins(psd draft) ?


WORTH IT ?

1. Ben Cousins has not been charged with any offence at any time. Unlike another high profile AFL club "official".
Nor has Alan Didak!

are you sure about him getting his demons under control? I've certainly heard differently.

Roos said they were interested in both Didak and Kerr if they were up for trade.

correct Frank Stone. Roo's will be asked a lot of questions about a list shake up. He simply said if they are available....any club would be interested in Kerr or Didak if available but simply put Sydney do not have the bargaining power to get either.


I cant think of many on their list I would want.

Cousins has been given permission to enter the Pre-season draft without going into the November draft (according to Hutchy)

Can we swap the Jude Bolton part - I love Jude, but he's got no wheels, despite being an inside midfielder. Would much rather the younger of the McVeigh's.

I would not be letting him go
Cousins would really help our mid-field
No point getting hopes up til trade time
