ST KILDA DECIDES NOT TO PROCEED WITH BEN COUSINS

[GrumpyOne]

Archie could have said more by saying less IMO...

And was quite capable of saying a lot more without saying anything at all.

[saint66au]

everyone that was involved in this farce should hang their heads in shame if only they had the best interests for the club in mind i prey for a new board at the club one that has some balls and will make the right choices for the playing group.

William Shakespeare? Where have you been?

Oh no..the Shakespeare award goes to this gem from the message Board on SaintsCentral....

THATS SO CRAP!!!! SCRW ALL YOU PEOPLE ON THE BORED I HOPE YOU NO WHAT USE HAVE REALLY DONE!

they lead all the supporters on making us think we would get him and the bloody say NO.

Stuff you all.

[markp]

faith people...

Yeah, that'll work.

Stupid Stupid Decision Stkilda

Totally agree

[IluvHarvey]

If we do decide to go with Carroll and have said no Ben Cousins, then I deserve all the crap that i will recieve from work collegues as it is proven that i support a rabble. I bleed red white and black but sometimes I wonder why.

[plugger66]

i will trust that the Saints board knows more about BC than we do so it is a good decision.

[WayneJudson42]

Archie's giving the old "looking towards youth" bull.

I can assume Carrol is all but ruled out also then.

Once again, some are assuming that NC is a done deal like BC.

NC is what, 28? As a defender could play for 5 years.

I'm not discounting BC's potential impact, but recruiting NC would help our defence and free up some runners into the midfield.

And a handy back up if Max goes down. Different player, different role.

Will be picked up in the PSD. BC may have cost us a draft pick in what everyone so often reminded us is the last "uncompromised" draft.

Big picture... big picture.

What a gun this player taken with pick 90 something is gonna be, honestly why bother, just go with a smaller list for the season.

the key to our success is finally breaking free the players that have had to play back for so long - gram, fish and bj...this year we were given a hint of what is to come

plenty of times gram and bj were easily beaten in defence and offered bugger all in it...we developed an idea of them actually being decent defenders due to their kicking and occassional dash...they are attacking players...not defensive

having carroll down back could be a good thing...he is a natural defender despite being a natural twat...but lets hope he can change his ways

i would give him more than a half chance of actually succeeding if he took the third tall every week, maybe even second, max and or goose take the first, dempster comes in to account...then we have carroll who would become a handy back pocketier for us...

faith people...

Hopefully, you can add X and Bakes in that lot.

hehehe, oh the charade. So AF says we are going for youth. Did we not sign him for another year, I think? Did he play 6 games last year? meh.

Different case altogether. MG is a ruckman, and like key backmen, we ain't exactly flushed with depth, are we?

The theory that we signed MG as lure to get BC, is as intelligent as Bush's reign as US president.

So why would they do THAT if they weren't going to take BC?

1 + 1 = 567.

[Bernard Shakey]

Should have traded Kosi.

You have some weird tropical disease?????

[3rd generation saint]

You know all the posts abouit BC tonight remind me of a very well known quote froma very well known movie.

"He's not the Messiah, he's just a very naughty boy".

Oh you have got to be kidding, you cannot be making this thread about Kosi

[joffaboy]

Should have traded Kosi.

I think you should show your disgust by not renewing your membership and never posting here again.

that'll show 'em.

[Baldock Rules]

i will trust that the Saints board knows more about BC than we do so it is a good decision.

Seems I agree with you Plugger...Thats a worry

[plugger66]

Can i ask how people thinking getting BC will win us a flag next season. Isnt he only replacing Harvs and we didnt win this yeear. Need more than BC to win a flag.

Well yes, but thats not what i'm getting at.

i will trust that the Saints board knows more about BC than we do so it is a good decision.

So if we follow that logic... they have never made a bad one?

Not at all but I think BC has some issues.

hence why our club doesn't want a thing to do with him....

geez its all so simple...

Hehe, yeah


I fully support the board on this one. If they couldn't be convinced he was 100% clean and ready to go, then they shouldn't decide to pick him up, which they didn't.

It's easy for people on this forum to take pot shots at the board. But you have no idea what they board used to make it's decision, what information it had access to that wasn't in the public spotlight.

Pathetic, juvenile reaction by many apparent supporters in this thread. No wonder I don't frequent here much...

[FortiusQuoFidelius]

Great decision... bring on 2009 with a group of enthusiastic draft choices who can be 10 - 15 year premiership players for our club!!
