I thought your adult idol Grant explained all that to you a long time back with the 'belief clouds' , 'farting at thunder', 'exiting him in' , 'KPI's and process going forward' talks you had?

"Ben Cousins will NOT play for St Kilda, its all done and dusted and will be confirmed by sources Tuesday evening, you heard it hear first. There is a 7 million dollar sponsorship at risk if he does."

Its all BF so who knows....time will tell I guess but if we were to pull out due to sponsor unrest you would have to ask whether Jeld Wen are just now following the media herd and why they didnt announce this position months ago prior to us expending the countless hrs/resources toward due dilligence?

IMO Jeld Wen have an opportunity to demonstrate they are a company prepared to stand behind their brand and give people another shot. Sure, your allowed to be nervous.....but dont just do what Mazda and Co do and run......besides whose not gonna buy one of their doors cause of Benc Cousins FFS....

Who ever drafts Ben Cousin will get massive exposure. There will be a photo of Ben on the front page of every newspaper in the country and if they are smart enough, they will get a club top on him for the photos proudly displaying his new colours with the sponsors name front and centre.

Who wouldn't want that level of exposure?

Simple.....nobody who is in business. Image is everything.

Something to do with bad publicity, though personally I think it's an easy backflip stance for the clubs that change their minds? If the Saints decide against Cuz, I am 100% sure that it wouldn't have anything to do with doors, knobs and knockers!

Well, we did play a nice "brand" of footy back then.

It's not just the sponsers, I believe the club is getting calls from fans anti BC.
imho, decisions like this are best left in the clubs hands, if they reckon he's good to go, I'm right behind them. However they can be swayed by popular opinion. Ppl will call them if unhappy. Ppl wont be calling to ask they draft him.
So, if you want him, tell them.

Flood ask Archie.........

The only reason Jeld Wen would pull out is we got another door supplier when we build Seaford.
