If Cousins is allowed to continue to play AFL would you guys want him at Carlton and pick him up in the PSD. Imagine the midfield of Cousins, Judd, Stevens, Murphy etc.
 
I hope and believe WCE will fire him, and if the AFL have any balls, they'll deregister him too, so nobody can pick him up.

Hopefully he gets his life on track and doesn't Mainwaring it.

Anyways, even if he is available.... no. No way, no how. Got to have standards, and have to build a positive culture.

And we don't want Judd to run away from Cousins again, do we?!

As good as he is, theres too much baggage that would come with him.

His career should probably be ended after this incident. How stupid can one man be, when he's signed a modified behavioural contract...yet is still using drugs and hanging out with Daniel Chick of all people.

I dont see anybody going near him in the psd due to the implications it will unleash upon that club.

No thanks! What do you think the real reason was Judd wanted to leave the West?

Bingo!

Anybody can see through the "family and friends" excuse. Judd didin't want to play footy in the AFL's equivelant of a drug den.

Being near his family and friends is a bonus.
 
No.

West Coast is now possibly facing the loss of draft picks because they couldn't keep their promise to clean up their image.

Any club who picked up Cousins would have to make promises to the AFL that he would stay clean, and obviously it would be difficult to keep those.

Would we really want the possibility of penalties and loss of sponsors hanging over our heads? Cousins has gone from one of the games best assets to a massive liability - sad to say.


That said, Richmond and Collingwood will probably be flying straight over to talk to him. Hopefully he's sober enough to sign his name on the contract. Maybe he';; sign it 'Ned Kelly'.

No way will we be able to.The AFL wil kick him out.About time Chick got caught as well!
Interesting Cousins was supposed to be going to the USA for rehab.He won't be allowed in with a criminal record.
It is the end of his career but not the end to his troubles.I hope that he is still helped by the Eagles and does not end up suicidal or ODing!
Long days and happy nights

Can this actually happen?

Yep.

I'm sure someone will have the exact details, but I have no doubt the AFL can deregister players for bringing the game into disrepute or similar.

Given Cousins is singlehandedly TRASHING the AFL's reputation right now, it would not surprise if he was Cutty McSnipsnip very soon.
 
i seriously woun't mind Cousins at the blues just as long as he stays form his bad ways, He is a gun player and we could use down at the blues

Absolutely not, for 2 reasons:

1) We do not want him to bring his culture to our club. Our kids do not need a bad influence like him around them.

2) We recently recruited one Chris Judd. A major part of the reason why he left the Eagles in the first place was to get away from the bad drug culture at the Eagles. He wouldn't be too happy if we then went and recruited the main culprit.

I don't have exact details at hand, but all contracts are subject to AFL approval, and therefore can be revoked by the AFL. would only happen in extreme circumstance ie Justin Charles from richmond, the only player to have tested positive to steroids.

http://www.ausport.gov.au/fulltext/1999/cjsm/v3n2/obeirne32.htm

n late August 1997 the Australian Football League (AFL) announced that Richmond Football Club (RFC) player Justin Charles had tested positive to using boldenone, a steroid that enhances recovery of chronic injury. The situation placed the AFL in foreign territory, as no AFL player had previously been found guilty of taking a performance-enhancing drug. Charles’ actions created a crisis situation for himself, the AFL and the RFC, and it forced both organisations to implement crisis management plans to counteract potential negative publicity.

The AFL suspended Charles for a total of 16 weeks on 4 September 1998. The sentence was six games short of the maximum penalty for a first time drug offence.
