Krakouer delisted
Good on Richmond...
Eagles made the hard call on Cousins and by the looks may have been a smidge hasty, but on the other hand he probably deserved it after years of misgivings.
Krakouer on the other hand, was welcomed into the Richmond family as a troubled youngster, given support and counselling and he threw it back in their face. They gave him every opportunity to clean up his act and he refused.
Good riddance.

Clown!
If Cousins is sacked on a false drugs charge, then Krakouer should face the music for beating the crap out of someone with witnesses who will testify against him!
Why should Richmond waste a spot on their list until just before the season starts for that?
Clown..

Re: Krakouer delisted
I think the name itself kept him on the list for an extra 3 years than an average kid out of the draft would have been imo.plugger66 wrote:I am sure they only delisted him because he wasnt good enough.n1ck wrote:Good on Richmond...

It is possible he was delisted due to info Richmond have received that he may be going in for quite a stretch!! He IS facing very, very serious charges don't forget!! But yeah, he hasn't set he world on fire - maybe he has some distractions in his life!!
I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Re Krakour: who cares ?
Re why was Cousins sacked ? Who really knows ? Choose from:
a) Lord Demitriou told the Eagles to do it.
b) He breached his revised contract a few times - official Eagles line.
c) His tattoo brought the game into disrepute.
etc.
Also Cousins lawyer says reason Cousins refused cops drug test is that cops set him up and didn't follow protocols on this matter - they didn't follow their own SOPS - ie. "Blow in this bag Ben" = Negative, "Drug test time Ben = "Blow it out your arse" ......whereas the coppers were supposed to go through the SOPS: "Ben, can you please walk along this straight line ?", "Ben, how many fingers am I holding up ?", "Ben , who is the Prime Minister ?", etc.
No, they went straight to Drug Test Time because Ben is a well known drug addict who has been in Rehab, so, he's on drugs, right ? Maybe the coppers who stopped him were also Freo Supporters - over there, it's either one or the other - it's possible - they already dropped their stupid "Possession of Valium" charge......consider......drafting him !

Here is the situation
Undersized player with poor work rate can't get a game in wooden spoon side = Almost certain delisting
Undersized player with poor work rate can't get a game in wooden spoon side and is facing serious assault charge which would bring hoards of bad publicity to the already struggling club = GET HIM OUT!
No conspiracy theories, no racism, just logic.

and maybe that wasn't even Cousins at all admiting on TV that he took drugs, maybe it was an old Thunderbirds puppet dressed up (badly) to look like Cousins, being controlled by freo-supporting-statement-falsifying-evil-puppeteers!!!Sun Ra wrote:Also Cousins lawyer says reason Cousins refused cops drug test is that cops set him up and didn't follow protocols on this matter - they didn't follow their own SOPS - ie.

both theories in my opinion are clearly rock-solid fact, and anyone objecting is obviously in on it
