If he's cleared, he'll be available in the National Draft!

No good for us. Why would we want another midfielder who can kick multiple goals from 50 metres??? :wink: :wink:


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>)

Bloody good isn't he. Strong, skilled on both sides and gut running ability. And a beautiful, long kick - nah, we don't need that type of player at all :roll:


I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

correct.

Would be totally out of place in our side!

He WAS perhaps one of the greatest midfielders of all time IMO....one year out of the game is a bummer....but if he can be 75% as effective now as he was, he'd be a huge bonus.

imho i think if cousins could play like he did when he came back from rehab against the swans and us (which in fact cost us a 8th spot last year)before he done his hammy he would be our best mid... nothing against lenny who is a star but cousins is just in a world o his own..

If he is still so good,
why does the club that knows the most about him,
the club that you could argue has a duty of care towards him,
why does that club TOTALLY DISOWN him ?

Do you expect his footspeed to improve now he is over 30 ?

Forget his footspeed,

Look at the sheer amount of running he does...

The guy is exactly what we're missing.
