Reincarnated asks...
Purely hypothetical situation here
We are successful this season and win the flag
Richmond want a complete clean out of anyone remotely aged and this includes Ben Cousins
Considering his return would you pick him up at the going rate? Whether it be third round trade etc etc
Reincarnated says yes and god yes at that. Watching him against the woods' today and he is clearly the best tiger on the park and probably the best maggie. A footballer's footballer who has come back from problems and certainly hasn't dropped off. Reincarnated believes he would add to our squad for a few years
You can never have too many good players in your squad regardless of age
Thoughts?

He is top 5 on the park at the moment and attempts to get other players in the game with his running and handballingDan Warna wrote:put a ford escort in a field full of trabants and its the best car going around.
the escort is still a old rusty piece of crap that's way past its use by date.
Are you saying that the maggie's players all crap too? look granted the tiges' aren't showing much
He is not going to limit anything. Throughout the year we will have injuries and players will be drafted in. People in here have wet dreams over the kid however his time will comekp83 wrote:Thereby limiting one of our kids from getting some senior action, no thanks. I'd rather watch Jacky Steven go around.

We have had a great run of it this year granted however injuries do and will happen. Our blokes will be having shorter pre-seasons due to the length of our season and history suggests some players struggle early the next season with fitness. Reincarnated has great faith in the organisation to attempt to limit such instances however its a problem of footy. Its a baseless, arrogant questions to ask if Reincarnated would know if we will have injuries.kp83 wrote:How do you know we'll have injuries?

The answer is yes
In addition to this Ross the Boss gives his young players plenty of time to get used to the issues regarding the big time. He has even mentioned that he has a 4 year plan with youngens, so go figure.
Sorry, how is it baseless and how is it arrogant? I think it's a touch arrogant of you to proclaim that you can predict the health of our list next year and then have a go at me for questioning this.reincarnated wrote: Its a baseless, arrogant questions to ask if Reincarnated would know if we will have injuries.
The answer is yes.
Looking at history of gf teams and its well-noted that they struggle with the pre-season and early season fitness, thus relating to injuries. Spots will open up regardless and youngens will get gameskp83 wrote:Sorry, how is it baseless and how is it arrogant?

The answer is yes.
To suggest that we will have an injury run like this (to date/touch wood) is a little far fetched. To systematically rest most of our best 18 is something Reincarnated doubts will happen again

We don't need him, don't want him, absolute waste of a spot on our list.
Why would we want to recruit a 33 year old! Our salary cap can be better managed.
Believe it or not, even if we win the premiership we will have to rebuild our list and we do this by promoting our talented youngsters who didn't get much game time this year, with our senior and hopefully premiership experienced players next year and so on so that premiership number 3 isn't 40+ years away.
Richmond recruited him to sell memberships, as we have seen he wasn't the difference between them making the finals this year after just missing out last year.
Richmond are in the mess they are in because they have sought the quick solution in recruiting, instead of good selective recruiting as we have done.

Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.
Gee, Cousins must have had a blinder...
9 kicks, 10 handballs, 3 marks, 0 tackles, 0 goals, 0 behinds. A whopping 56 DT points and a monstrous 51 SC points. Surely this Cousins you speak of is a must-have.
Wow, we need him and must take him immediately.

Kudos to the Saints for not taking that miserable little piece of monkey s***.

maybe just a twinge- but not much good if he only plays half games
got to be tough to be a saint- play through twisted ankles- Max - or supected dislocated shoulders![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
