does anybody think there is a chance

[undecided]

does anybody think there is a chance we re-think signing cousins depending on what we get in the ND. we have 6 senior spots to fill(if my calculations are correct). i cant see us using more then 5 picks in the ND so that leaves 1 spot, maybe for carroll or brad howard.

i know this is a pretty stupid question but well its the off season and i need some hope for next year, lol

You need to be patient and wait until the draft is over; there are a lot more moves yet,

Yeah wait for Archie to announce the move to Seaford has fallen over but he is pleased to announce that there is a vacant block in an industrial estate out the back of Pakenham that will be moving to.

Archie should join the cast of the Hollowmen. Mr. Spin... Mr BS

Hi Archie



Why did we say we wanted cousins and then do a major backflip and then after tonight say oh no we dont want cousins.

we needed that bit of speed in the midfield

And stkilda are still going to draft CARROLL! what the hell!



we need answers archie!!!

[PLUGGER14]

Archie is answering indiscriminate emails less than 24 hours after the announcement?

[undecided]

Archie who, lol. My mate Archie says that, i just cant think of anything,lol. im just too tired but you get the point anyway.

[markp]

If we now picked him up with our last pick, put him on a pittance and had absolutely scared him straight... however unlikely (1% chance), you would have to laugh.

[evertonfc]

I doubt we'll take him with our last pick in the draft.

However, should he be available in the PSD, I strongly urge the club to meet again with Jeld-Wen to discuss the positives that would surround the recruitment of Ben Cousins.

If they can agree on a change of heart, it would not be unprofessional - it would merely be seeking a new perspective for a superior outcome.

I don't think our board is that smart, sadly.

[undecided]

next thing you know every club except brisbane launch into a bidding war over cousins in the PSD, lol. 2 days later Voss says the door still is not shut

Short awnser is no. Long awnser is hell no. End of story

BANG BANG

Perhaps he's got you confused with Brad Howard and is trying to reassure you that you will be picked up as a rookie next year?

Seriously, given your email is real - what he means is that we won't be picking up Carroll.

[Saints Premiers 2008]

why would we go back on it all???

if the information was positive about drafting and playing ben then we would have come out and said it in the boardroom

this thread is another example of posters looking towards one player to solve all our issues

[evertonfc]

Bulls***.

We want a player who can help us win a flag.

If we had him this year, your name might have been true.

You don't win premierships with crap players. It's a fact.

[undecided]

lets try to make a rumour that we're going to draft him in the ND so Brisbane use an early pick, lol

If this legit...strange response from Archie....maybe the "more to play out" is what we dont yet know bout Ben?

[markp]

It's 'more moves yet'... maybe there are some at the club as disappointed as some here?

[dalboy]

This will not happen....i read somewhere that because of salary cap restrictions we would need to pick BC in the ND....the PSD is not an option.....not sure of the differences in relation to the salary cap though!

I dont think we'll do a backflip but it does appear as though the "more moves" could indicate theres more the story...that or weve made a secret play for Judd.......

i don't see how we could have salary cap issues and when brisbane pull out and the board realises we made the wrong decision we will be the only team left and i think ben will take wateva we offer
