Would anyone seriously conider him. I know it's doubtful he'd slip to our pick and I don't think we have salary cap room or possibly spaces on our list. he would just add to our old list aswell.
 
Some one will definitely pick him up. Probably one of the "nanger" clubs on the bottom of the ladder.

We did turn around Plugger and Hally

Plugger and Hall didn't have substance abuse problems though.
I personally would hate, hate, hate to see Cousins in Swans colours. I don't care how good he is on the field, his arrogance is enought to turn me off and we would be wasting a place on our list IMO.
 
Cousins is an absolute gun footballer who (If not an addict) would be fantastic for any club to pick. However with the brilliant football ability comes far too many what ifs for most club to select him (If the AFL allow to even nominate).

I Don't expect to see in and team colours next season espeically not Swans ones.
 
Even if we wanted him, fitting him in the salary cap will be a problem. There's no chance of him coming to us. If he does decide to play, he will go to the Tigers for sure.

He has indicated, through his management, that he will only be playing in Melbourne so i doubt he would go to Sydney anyway. StKilda, Hawthorn and Essendon have already stated that they are not interested so it would seem that Richmond or Collingwood may be options...

Gun player, huge, huge risk

i'm not giving an opinion either way, but where the salary cap is concerned, or the issue of payment, surely cousins would have to accept whatever any club offered, he'd be in no position to dictate anything, would he?
i can't imagine clubs throwing money at him, despite his football ability

swans have just released a press statement ruling out any suggestion the club would pursue ben cousins
so that's that

by the way, just in case anyone really was entertaining serious thoughts of getting him in red and white, watch the 06 grand final presentation one more time, when cousins is called up to join judd with the cup on the dais....

I'm not interested in watching that game again. But given that they'd just won the flag, I don't think his actions were out of the ordinary.

i don't think even chris judd would agree with you there

but then again, it's over and done with, so no big deal now, i guess

No way. Wouldn't fit into the "no ----heads policy".:thumbsd:

We've dished out our fair share of, as i like to say, "born-again" ****heads, and given a chance and keeping in mind he wants to change i think he could really turn his career around.
But that doesn't mean I want him here, I think he'd be too much of a liability on the club, and the media hype would just ruin it all (this considering the gamble with him not relapsing pays off..).

In the end it just comes down to whether we want another 30+ player at our team, and i think i answer for everyone when i say N.O.

I'm not turning at all, merely stating a fact. And Cousins wasn't acting like an idiot when we won the flag

No he wasnt acting like an idiot or showing emotion.After all he was probably not in his right mind was he? Which begs the question ? Ive said it before and i will say it again Sydney have much to feel agrieved about after Cousins admitted addiction to a certain substance.:rolleyes:

What did Cousins do? I cant recall anything out of the ordinary unless of course you consider celebrating a grand final victory alarming?

Ben Cousins has admitted to taking performance enhancing drugs? I must have missed that one....
 
I didn't see anything wrong with the way Cousins celebrated. I do agree with whoever said that Judd was a robot, I commented on the day how little emotion Judd expressed.
