Polak a rookie & Cousins PSD pick 7 - AFL rejects Tiger request [merged]

[mightytiges]

Eddie's sooking worked  

It's the end for Benny now. What a stupid thing by Andy D to say that Cousins can reapply to be drafted next year if he misses out tomorrow.

SEN are calling for Tiger supporters to petition with their name and membership number to March to get Cousins  . They're taking callers who want Cousins.

It's the end for Benny now.

You think so, I reckon the pressure is going to be on the club big time now to backflip and pick him in the draft now in spite of their earlier youngster comments.

I never liked how the Polly/Ben thing was tied together, they probably had no choice with their earlier stance but it just didn't seem right.

What goes around comes around the next time an opposition club who opposed this needs us.

Mark Doran is an idiot. He is saying we can still get Cousins and the young player we wanted. A bit hard to get the young player at pick 8 in the rookie draft if he's gone to Freo at pick 3  .

Neither did I Chuck

Doran was up here doing the locasl WIN news and somehow got to Bendigo then to the city.
And he was a weasle looking freak then and things done change that much.
As he was a half wit reporter here so I have no idea in what they saw in him to give him a posting in the city.
Local country new and sports he could handle but not the city. Little fish, big ocean, he'll drown soon enough.

our decision should be selecting the standout player of the pre-season draft

The fact that the RFC are having an extraordinary board meeting tonight, to me, indicates they will take Cousins at Pick 6

The club tried something clever and call the AFL's bluff but it just didn't come off. It's not that it lost anything by doing so. We're back in the position we were straight after the National draft when Cousins was expected to go elsewhere.

Now the club could take Cousins in the PSD and then after the rookie draft claim we got the 5 kids were after anyway but if Gourdis goes to another club then we'll all know that's not true. Taking Cousins at pick 6 would come at the expense of a kid. That's why we wanted the extra pick.

Just in case some of you are not aware.
Richmond will be holding a press conference at 5 PM Today !

[bushranger]

In that perss meeting I don't think we will show our hands. But I see pick 6 used to get Ben to Tigerland. As i think we have spent a lot of time and resourcess to get him only to throw that all away now.
And i think that we all should let this go until the press meeting and if that has nothing then full bore tomorrow after pick 6 has been done.

[Moi]

We'll get Ben, don't you worry about that.
I don't think there's many people like me that don't want him (and I've been umming and arrhing all day whether we should take him or not), but the club will have to go with popular opinion IMO or they'll have a riot on their hands.
I think the club were trying to do a shifty when they said they wouldn't get him.
Pretty sure they'll draft Ben.

[tigersalive]

why not take Cousins in the Rookie Draft? is there a requirement to be eligiable for the Rookie List???

Lol Cousins doesnt quite fit under the requirements of not playing more than 10 career games and being under 23. 


(I think that's the requirements)

lol, even poor old Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls couldn't escape a sledge from a Tiger supporter on SEN!
