No way known would I want Cousin's playing for us, aside from anything else his best football is in the past, much prefer to bring through some new fresh young talent.

Besides without the drugs, two years out of the game, would be over 30, how good is he?

We don't need him or his influence around our football club!

I would be appalled if we went after him, anyhow I'm quite sure we won't.

I agree with B4E, but Cousins is still one of the best players going around.

I can still remember the day at Subi that Benny Boy refused to shake Robert Harvey's hand at the end of the game (? 2-3 yrs ago) !!

Said it before, if we pick up a drug addict loser like Cousins, that would be it for me, Saints wise.

I still believe that.

I don't agree with that. I have tolerance enough to offer second or third chances if they are warranted.

However, I don't think Cousins will get the opportunity to get to those levels at any club in the future.

Hasn't had long enough in recovery for mine.

I'm still shaking.........and frothing at the mouth.....

Nah, when it's all said and done, B4E makes a bit of sense sometimes.....

Can someone advise on where I can get a pill to stop my penchant for adding.........at the end of every sentence?.........

If hes available to play AFL Footy next year id suggest hed no longer be a drug addict. If hes available and playing a brand of footy it would be pure arrogance if we didnt consider him.

Dan Warna · Post: # 531446Post **Dan Warna** » Thu 13 Mar 2008 1:35pm

Is the AFL testing him now? or is he his own man under no obligation to anyone?

and only a fool would believe anything ben cousins or his dad would have to say, as neither has any credibility when it comes to cousins being clean or not.

SENsei · Post: # 531448Post **SENsei** » Thu 13 Mar 2008 1:36pm

The AFL have him on ice now I believe. 12mths worth.

If he plays well at whatever club he plays at this year and goes through his rehab, then I hope we pick him up. He's almost the perfect midfielder and I want a premiership.

We already have a bloke who's had his fair share of problems in this regard. Some say he was the man that introduced Benny to the stuff in the first place.

Any objections to this?

Dan Warna · Post: # 531452Post **Dan Warna** » Thu 13 Mar 2008 1:44pm

again who is to believe that he is clean unless he undergoes substantial and longitudinal testing.

you'd be a naive fool to believe his word or that of his father.

and you'd be even more naive if you think the AFL testing program is any more than smoke and mirrors.

Nice work there Dan, accusing his father of lying.

Change the record, the same tune's getting boring

HAHA, I just messaged SEN informing them about the rumour....

They (Doran and Thompson) both dismissed it...and actually took credit for the rumour starting from Dorans show last week from when they interviewed G Aryes.

Made me feel incredibly stupid.

Hmmm, he has been in Melbourne recently.

We saw him at Melbourne airport on our way to Adelaide last weekend.

He was scoffing a big mess of Hungry Jacks and Krispy Cremes.

We thought he might be heading off to Adelaide to watch Gardy but he actually got on a Gold Cost flight.

So Ric, You would let (in your own words) a 'drug addict loser' stop you from supporting your football team in which (going by your contribution to Satintsational) you are deeply passionate about?

The only person that loses out on that deal...Is you.

CURLY · Post: # 531467Post **CURLY** » Thu 13 Mar 2008 2:51pm

I would be more inclined to stop supporting if we picked up a donkey like Brodie Holland than a star like Cousins.

Hope your kids never have any problems because from the sound of it you will not stick up for them. You sound like the most moralistic person I have ever heard.

riccardo · Post: # 531469Post **riccardo** » Thu 13 Mar 2008 2:57pm

That is my position. Like it or lump it, I don't care either way.

There is more to life than footy, and I have moral fibre that would prevent me from supporting a club that, indirectly or otherwise, condones drug use and abuse.

BTW with Gardiner, I have stated my unease at him on our list before, but is he a proven long term drug abuser? No, I don't think so.

As stated, this is my position, you have the right to disagree, but don't try to take the highground or rationalise your arguments to preach to me, it aint changing my mind.
