Everyone deserve a second chance
Anyway they can draft the devil himself, if it helps them win games

I think melbourne has a pretty good underworld scene aswell old c**k
Agreee - this club should grow a pair of balls and make it happen.123 wrote:exactly make it happen, make things happen saintsn1ck wrote:Id sign him up right now if I could... weekly drug testing a 100% commitment.
One year contract with the option of ripping it up at any time if he breaches our code of conduct.
Option of a second year on increased terms if we're happy and he's happy.
Make it happen saints.
reckon you're on the money Skeptic. Will be snapped up if available. Absolute gun player.skeptic wrote:lol this thread
he's not in a position to choose a clubHe's an absolute GUN. I think you'll find AT LEAST 6 clubs minimum will move heaven and earth to get him.
Okay so the Roos and Blues are out... fair enough.
Could easily be the last piece of the premiership puzzle for
Hawthorn, Collingwood or the Bulldogs. Why wouldn't these clubs be interested. They wouldn't have to give anything up for him.
Heck Geelong's already super midfield would be unstoppable... they'd have 3 Brownlow midfielders (wth Ablett to win 1 i'm sure)
They you've got the Ess, Melb and Rich coaches who are desperate to show that they're on the way up
and those conditions 123... are kind of laughable when u put it in the context that this will most likely be a bidding war.

I personally wouldn't want him at the saints123 wrote:I heard on sen today that cousins is most likely to go to sandi next year. does that mean the saints will be getting him?
Bringing me back to original point that his GIANT ego wont let him sign a 1 year, low pay, performance based contractApu wrote:After watching Ben on the footy show last night I am now even more convinced that we shouldnt have him on our list. Upon being asked the question "Why would an AFL club want to draft you?"
His reply- "the real question is why wouldn't they!!!!"
agree and then some !!Dan Warna wrote:some more theorising.
if our window is closed or closing, will cousins want to come to a club rebuilding?
if so what can he add in teaching the next generation of players than lenny, harvey, thompson, burke can't teach them? if its premierships, then certainly steven king, schneider and dempster have that experience as well.
Can Cousins bridge the gap?
well tbh as I said 18 months ago when people were pointing to the richness of WCE talent and how they would be a power for a decade and how clever they were with their second and third string talent, that they really only had 5 stars in the their side, and they brought their GOPs into it, that and they played as if their was geniune camaraderie.
kerr/cox/Glass can't carry the team, and the embly's and rosa's are second string.
we were being told that Rosa was every bit as talented as lenny and dal santo and how could we have missed out![]()
yes, cousins circa 2005 can lift the saints, but it will be 2009, and we should have learned after drafting capuano, doc clarke and co that 3 years is A LONG TIME.
Cousins may be able to play 3 or 4 seasons more, or he maybe another one straight into the st kilda wing of the epworth.
I dont' think we'll be in an opportunity to grab him, but if we are, we should really consider where we are, what we hope to achieve, and what he adds to the mix.
when we are trying to BUILD a team ethic over the individual ethic, do we want someone who shows little contriteness and history of putting himself above others?
