BEN COUSINS [merged]

[WilliamPowell]

Ben's done and dusted like Ekto said no-one is gonna take him

One of Ben's biggest problems is his manager ...Ricky hasnt done him any favours 

[Infamy]

Meanwhile, Tigers football manager Craig Cameron slammed the door shut on recruiting fallen star Ben Cousins, saying 'we won't be taking him in the pre-season draft' on December 16.

But the PSD is the only way he can get to Richmond under the AFL rules.

We cannot rookie him

SEN tonight has Tiger supporters wanting to start up a "Get Cousins to Richmond" petition and linking it to memberships.

[bushranger]

I'll sign it if it means to get Cousins back to the West or if it's doesn't mean that they can jam the petition.
Waste of space and I was always told to leave the crap at the door and this is what we have to do here.
Also tell SEN to bugger off and go bark up someone else's tree, morons.

no no no

Tigers rule out Cousins
Stathi Paxinos | December 6, 2008

RICHMOND yesterday declared it would not be picking Ben Cousins in this month's pre-season draft, with general manager of football Craig Cameron forced to hose down renewed speculation the Tigers could offer the 2005 Brownlow medallist a home.

Cameron said Richmond, which will be the last of six clubs to have a pick, would seek in the December 16 draft "the best talent not picked up in the national draft", but it would not be drafting the former Eagle.

Best news I've heard all week.   

[bushranger]

Totally agree with you Smokey_58au.

[Darth Tiger]

Totally agree with you Smokey_58au.

Seconded

In a week's time the circus will be over and the AFL can wash their hands of Cousins.

If Cousins wants to play footy then he'll have to play for a WAFL club as he should have done in the first place before applying for AFL re-registration. No AFL club would touch him sight unseen. As WP said Ricky Nixon has let Cuz down badly big time poorly advising him.

[WA Tiger]

Thank the good Lord that we are not picking up Cousins, I honestly wish him the best and I hope he does get picked up but he does not fit in with the recruitment policy of our club and I am glad that the RFC is sticking to their guns. Many years ago we would have picked him up using the band aid policy we followed but not now, well done Tigers.
 

[bushranger]

Unlike you WA Tiger I don't wish him the best as he has made so many look the fool already. So now it is his turn to have the egg on his face. I stay if he wants to play I think they have got a good comp over in America. So he could play footy on the weekends and do rehab though the week. Just the right mix for him.
