Shouldn't have told us then... number 1 rule is never tell your dreams or they don't come true!

Cuz is as good as a saint and has been for a few weeks.
MG was signed for another 12 months as a sweetner,even though he's pretty much done and dusted.

MG should have been signed based on the assessment that he has a role to play next year.
If he was signed as a "sweetener" then this club is in diabolical trouble.
Seriously, so the club would pay minimumwage to a player that they know will never play again, just to get BC?
Sounds ridiculous to me. Why not offer the extra money to Cuz?
The lid is off after Round 2! Enjoy the journey, coz you just don't know where we'll end up. Live for today and seize the moment.
This is what I've been told, source is reasonable at worst.
It will be good to have Cousins running around,but I'm not convinced we're just trying to top up still as they think we're within a whisker of a flag. We're in trouble if this is what the honcho's think....

If they add 4 kids in addition to Cousins then they're on the right track.

True.
Just don't know about all the MG caper. The blokes commitment isn't where it should be. We gave him a second chance,and he is not returning the favour. Therefore he shouldn't get another 12 months ...or will Cuz be that good for us? The jury's out here

Please clarify... What return? Are you refering to attitude, or because of injury?
If it's his attitude, then why keep him?

Any club can draft Cousins.
If he nominates for the main draft he runs the risk of any club drafting him and then dictating the terms of his contract.
This would be very risky strategy for a club that hasn't done its' due diligence and planned to assist Cousins.
I don't think he will nominate for the main draft, I think he will only nominate for the pre-season draft.
In the pre-season draft he can dictate the term and amount of his contract.
Once again any club can draft him BUT many precendents have been set that it is not draft tampering at the pre-season draft for a player to make it clear to all and sundry - through his player manager - that he has agreed to but not signed a contract with a particualr club.
The player manager can point out to other clubs that there are other arrangements that are required of the club under the contract such as the club providing assistance and care with respect to his addiction.
This is the good for the player and makes it a lot more risky for another club without the full details to draft him.
Additionally any other club would need to have done its' due diligence on the player - understand where he is at with his addction and his fitness etc.
If Ben Cousins and Ricky Nixon have come to an arrangement with St Kilda it is unlikely that another club would interfere.
However we must still remember how St Kilda had agreed to resume Tim Watson's career after him trainiing with St Kilda but then that s*** Sheedy went and snatched him first in the 1993 preseason draft.

When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

LOL the whole teams going to turn to drugs because cuz is an addict
tooo funny.
When Benny was running around like a half crazed zombie there is noway i wanted him at the club, buuut if hes clean and rehabilitating then i welcome him if hes coming, but if he stuffs up KICK HIM OUT yesterday.
I reckon he will be ok, the footy is what he wants and needs right now, cut him some slack and give the man a fair go.
Too many people about who have never ever stuffed up in their lives not.
I work every day with two people who regularly use recreational drugs on the weekend. I also work with some devout Christians and very conservative types of people.
Do I take drugs just because I work with people who do?
Am I a devout Christian just because I work with people who are?
People have their own values systems and beliefs about issues such as drug use ... I confront drug users in every day society ... why shouldn't AFL footballers?

They are both the same as per Karl Marx....... "Religion is the opium of the masses"
Karl Marx in Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right wrote:
Religion is, indeed, the self-consciousness and self-esteem of man who has either not yet won through to himself, or has already lost himself again. But man is no abstract being squatting outside the world. Man is the world of man—state, society. This state and this society produce religion, which is an inverted consciousness of the world, because they are an inverted world. Religion is the general theory of this world, its encyclopedic compendium, its logic in popular form, its spiritual point d'honneur, its enthusiasm, its moral sanction, its solemn complement, and its universal basis of consolation and justification. It is the fantastic realization of the human essence since the human essence has not acquired any true reality. The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion. Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.

Why not be both - a devout Christian who takes recreational drugs on the weekend?
