Don't tell me!
CollingFilth miss out on another high profile recruit?

How bad can the report on Cousins by the PI be when they are considering keeping Alan Dildo.

After all how much worse can Cousins be than a
gangster/murderer associating,
gun shooting car passenger,
Hell's Angel HQ visiting,
convenient memory lapsing,
multiple car crash site absconding,
lying,
drunk?

CollingFilth obviously have 'principles' when considering prospective players.

How happy would you be if a club had a private eye following you around.

No matter what my issues were I'd tell them to F*** right off, there is no way I'd play for them.

Due diligence is one thing, invading someone's life is totally another.

I hope we can land him & give a bloody champion footballer another chance.

Even if he's a tool.

I find it hard to believe the filth hired a PI to follow him around... and if they did and it was discovered, then surely Cousins would tell them where to stick it.

You would think so, markp.

But it has been widely reported, with no denials from Collingwood FC.

Can only imagine thats why Benny is 'losing interest' in the Pies.

The last line line of your post goes completely against the very fabric of what your club seeks does it not?????

At least I thought it did.

I would have no issue putting a P.I. on someone if I felt the need warranted it.

Nah, dont care if he is a tool. Dont want him to be a role model, dont care as long as he can play footy.

A bit like Didak.


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>)

If Benny is losing interest in the Pies because of the PI, then fine take a chance on him.

If the Pies are losing interest in Benny because of what the PI sayes then DONT TOUCH HIM WITH A BARGE POLE

Well I doubt the Pies would be willing to publicise the PI's findings - or the reason behind the change of heart.

We should be having weekly meetings with Benny AND the AFL to get their ideas and findings of the testing that the League have done.

If the AFL find that hes right to be re-registered, we should throw the kitchen sink and #9 guernsey at Cuz to get him down to Moorab... err Linen Hou... err... Seaford.

Spot on Joff

JPB, I love him as a footballer, I'm also very happy to give a bloke a second chance. I still reckon the way he carried on after he was initially busted was worthy of being branded a TOOL.

We've already got tools playing for us now (as have all clubs)! No names but many many AFL players are certifiable wankers (as I'd be if I was that good & on that sort of moula!).

I can see the Fraser handing over the jumper at the presser already.... that would be freakin sweet.

LOL. Yeah mate at the end of the day they are footballers and u gotta expect tools amongst the rank and file.

Who knows, my ex team-mates probably thought I was a tool. But if they thought I could play I don't give a sh1t...... :wink:

Some good mentions about as to the P.I.....maybe the P.I. has detected something that may warrant concern. If so, then cooling off is totally justified.

Will have to see what comes in the wash......

And yes agree Joff, I have always had that attitude. A few of our own reckon u can't always go with the guys with the nice-guy image.

It's like making a 100 in cricket, who cares how u get them. I don't care how we get a flag as long as we get one.

No newsflash that he's an addict.... addicts slip up, he could have been a choirboy for the last year and totally go off the rails next year, or he could relapse this year and never touch the stuff again.... that's the biggest punt you have to take.

Surely you're joking Mark.
How can he be an addict. AFAIK he's never returned a positive result in the 'world's best practice AFL Drug Testing Program'. :roll:
