BEN COUSINS [merged]

[Judge Roughneck]

Cousins brain is fried, won't play again. He is too detached from reality to understand what is needed to re-connect to a new club

How do you know?

Did you have an ice addiction? I'd be intersted to know how you could relate..

[Judge Roughneck]

Deledio, Cotchin, Foley, Tuck,  (White, Connors, Tambling, Edwards etc.)

+ Coughlan & Cousins

The testers are going to be visiting Punt Rd regularly if Cousins does end up at Richmond. Powerade should sponsor him as he's going to need to produce 4 urine tests per week or whatever is was. No more No.1 cuts and body waxes either  . It's one strike and we won't even see him in a Richmond guernsey.

He is TROUBLE and he think he is above it all and that would still mean us at Richmond.
Ben is all for Ben and no one else so this is just TROUBLE.

But the fact that he did have the No. 1 cut and the body wax is so suspicious.

I hope if he does come to Richmond then he gets out in the community and starts getting involved with the young kids in a positive way.

Tambling should be a good role model for him in this respect and hopefully Ben would be able to pick up some good things from him on the other side of being a footballer.

I think the Club sees this as nothing to lose as we'll get Cousins for nothing on base wage and we'll get positive press as it'll be seen as giving him a second chance. It'll then be up to Cousins to restore his own credibility not the RFC. If he were to get found out again back on the gear he'll be out the Club door and out of the game immediately no questions asked. No skin off Richmond's nose. On the other hand if he succeeds then we may get 2-3 years out of him (up to 2011) if his hammies stand up. His hammies are just as big a risk IMO especially as he is over 30 and he won't have played a game of footy of any sort in 18 months by early next year's practice matches and NAB Cup.

[Chuck17]

Yep agree with all that MT.

The hammy's are the big concern too I reckon.  No doubting he is an elite footballer and the way he plays is about with 50% more grunt than most other footballers and I just reckon there is no way he will hold back or not give his all as it is not his nature on the field plus he has a big point to prove.  A serious hammy ripper coming IMO.

Like you said though there is not too much too lose though, RFC are the good guys for giving him another go and if he blows it then RFC can't be faulted.

No skin off Richmond's nose.

Will be if we lose sponsorships if he stuffs up again.

Get a brain FFS.

BTW, you were away the same time as X.
Is that a coincidence?

Who says the Cousins issue doesn't polarise supporters .

No skin off Richmond's nose.

Dick Smith wouldn't be cursing the free advertising on the front page of both papers today lol. $50,000's worth free in fact.

Seriously I think the club would've had to get the okay from DSE before doing this.

[DallasCrane]

You don't know me one little bit so don't sit there judging me

Well you don't know Ben Cousins either so what gives you the right to judge him?

[one-eyed]

Enough with the insults and slanging matches! 

Snip snip time.

Now back to discussing the topic and agreeing/disagreeing without the childish namecalling and personal crap!

[Hellenic Tiger]

I hope he comes 

Foley Lids Tuck Cotch Cuz Polo Kane Cogs Bling White Edwards Brown

Just a list of the midfielders we have at our disposal on our list.
A plethera of riches. 

Won't cost us much.
We will be seen as doing the right thing.
And if he does the wrong thing then we will have unanimous support n letting him go.

I just think he has alot to prove and we would be stupid not to do look into it and take a punt on him. It's not as if he killed a person. He harmed himself. Hopefully he has learnt from it and if Ben Cousins is for Ben Cousins and he is this egotistical twit that people say he is then he has the biggest motivation to stick it up Andy D's and West Coast's rectum and succeed at the highest level once again.
