Good news. Did hope we'd get him at one stage, but think we made the right decision in the end. Prefer him at the Tigers than Carlton, Essendon or StKilda.

God it frees up some cash in my Dream Team.

Too old at 30 my arse......... Bullshit spin after a bullshit decision AGAIN.

Richmond's gain is our loss.

Any bloody wonder we have only won one flag in 50 frigging years.....

Any bloody wonder why the Tigers have made only one finals appearance since '82

Good on him, I truly hope he does well... He deserved another chance but I think this should certainly be his last chance..

Ben is alreading preparing to be greeted by those infamous afterloss Richmond supporters.

Oh FFS! You'd think Ben Cousins is the messiah. I'm in a house full of Richmond supporters tonight, and the talk has been non-stop. I can't wait for all this to settle down.

Richmond supporters have to have something to be excitied about, lets wait till the season proper if it pays off

Tell them with cousins,brown and riccho all not exactly spring chickens,they would damn well better at least make the eight,because these guys wont be around much longer.Like the bluescum,the Tiges have NO EXCUSES left for not making the finals ! The pressure is on em now,for sure.

Patience everyone. It will settle. Monday Richmond were $21 to win the flag. First thing Tues in to $17. If I were you I'd lay them with all the excited tigers right now, while they are awhirl in their delirium of hope. May as well take a little profit out of this on the side.

I guess the positive for Richmond is that a high draft pick isn't worth as much in a comprimised draft.

Come think of it to be honest whats so good about Richmonds side. Their mid field is foley Deledio . Richmond will be a monty to finish 9th.
