Just reported on Channel 7 news that Essendon are a real chance to take him in the PSD at pick 5.
 
Was watching the sport news on Ch.10 before, and didn't see anything of importance regarding our club besides a little story talking about our three Northern Knights recruits.

Could be a different story on Ch.07 though, but they all sort of copy stories off each other so I won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes.

If its reported on 7 it must be true..





What number will he wear?
 
I managed to get it on video & uploaded it on YouTube...

Quicktime ruins everything, so it isn't the best quality around. But the sound is good.

I realize Essendon has already ruled out Ben Cousin's... but, initially it was because of his age. You see, it wasn't even Knights who made the call. I'd say considering maturity is now in his sight... who is to say he hasn't changed his mind?

Plus, almost everyone commenting on the draft throughout the Essendonfc website is begging the EFC to consider the guy...

I know I wouldn't mind him at our club!... but that is of course, my opinion.

Bottom line, Knights has changed his plan on "age"... it leaves room for speculation.

Ok, can we please stop the Cousins threads?

WE WILL NOT PICK HIM UP!

Sorry.. Missed what your point is there..

But anyway.. Maturity comes in many different forms.. And honestly I don't see why we'd pick him up when we're not a realistic strong chance for a flag in the 3-4 year time frame he'll still be good value..

hahaha

Plus we should elevate him to match committee :D



Great idea.


Its the sensible thing to do. Let him become the face of Essendon.


...and get 'such as life' added to all our future logos:thumbsu:
 
The fact that our Chairman straight out said we will not pick up him.

Why did he say that?...

Because his age would clash with Knight's youth policy. He flat out said "It's because he's too old!"...

What has Knights considered?...

Stepping outside his youth policy... "If the right person is there, I'll consider it."...

As far as I'm concerned, whether or not Cousin's is picked up, this does raise a few questions when it comes to what we all assume is set in stone...

I can understand why you're frustrated RIG, you never wanted Cousins anyway.
 
Yeah... :rolleyes:

Or it could be the fact that our Chairman straight out said we will not pick up him.
RIG,

Why would the chairman be making that call when really it is totally up to the coaching staff to make the call?

Just a question here mate. Not meaning to upset you further
