BEN COUSINS [merged]

[mightytiges]

Can you pass in the PSD.

Yep you can as long as you can rearrange your list so there's the required 38 senior listed players.

At the moment Richmond has only 3 spots on the senior list empty and hence 3 picks. All 3 picks need to be used in the National draft as that's the minimum so we can't use our PSD pick anyway unless we either delist another player or demote a player to the rookie list.

That's not true .. You can have all three picks in the PSD if you choose and pass on the ND

I thought participating in the National draft was compulsory.

NAB AFL Draft:
It is compulsory for clubs to participate and by this stage they can have a maximum of 35 players on their list.

In the papers tomorrow it says Cousins' manager has approached at least one club before Cousins flew overseas. St Kilda was also a potential suitor around trade week time.

I think you'll find that this is not true and that you must use a minimum of 3 picks in the ND.

I would be very surprised if it was Cousins.

Please tell me it's Ben Rutten.

As for Cousins. Absolutely not!

AFL could act on Cousins
Caroline Wilson | October 26, 2007

THE AFL is looking at charging Ben Cousins with bringing the game into disrepute in a move that would almost certainly result in the drug-addicted 2005 Brownlow medallist being banned from playing football next season.

While Cousins said yesterday that he wanted to return to football, no club has yet put its hand up to recruit the 29-year-old, who would almost certainly be prevented from returning before 2009 if the AFL Commission had its way.

The league is exploring its legal options should Cousins challenge its bid to refuse to accept his nomination for the draft. The commission, led by chairman Mike stuff, is scheduled to decide on both Cousins and West Coast — which again faces punishment ranging from fines to the loss of draft picks or premiership points — when it meets over two days on November 19 and 20.

From Caroline Wilson | October 26, 2007 | The Age

It also emerged that Cousins looked at a move to St Kilda at the end of the 2007 season, a move thwarted on the eve of trade week by coach John Worsfold. The Saints now seem unlikely to consider Cousins.

"I wanted to get him (Cousins) out of Perth a long time ago," said Nixon. "I spoke to them (St Kilda) about a possible trade and Ben went to John Worsfold, who knocked back the idea."

Collingwood, Carlton, Geelong, Brisbane and Melbourne have all ruled out considering the troubled footballer, while Richmond, which has the first pick in the pre-season draft, did not respond to The Age last night.

There was speculation the Tigers would look at placing Cousins on the long-term injury list for 2008 with a view to playing him in 2009.

Collingwood president Eddie McGuire said any such decision would ultimately rest with coach Mick Malthouse but that he doubted the club would consider Cousins.



"I read all these newspaper reports about clubs saying they do not want him. That's different in what they're saying to me," Nixon said.

Collingwood has not dismissed the notion of claiming him in next year's national draft. Hawthorn, Essendon and St Kilda told the Herald Sun they would not take Cousins on their lists if he was eligible. Others would not comment.

Rutten would be a good get indeed. And I will be first to congratulate the club if it can get him in the PSD.

It is 3 years but Howat is too old. He also can not be the mature-age rookie because he has already played AFL. He needs to be promoted or cut.

People need to stop bandying around this minimum 3 picks thing. You have to have 3 vacancies. We can pass on them all if we like and use 3 PSD

Good on you.
I'll bow to the knowledge of Greg Miller at RFC who knows the rules inside-out. 

I emailed him asking the question and he replied confirming a minimum of 3 picks must be used in the National Draft.
