Nope, doesn't fit in with our youth recruiting policy....Hmmm, wonder if Judd fits in?? :D
 
No way to Cousins. Great player, and WCE will keep him on their list, but if they didn't - no thanks.

Serious attitude problem and it can be infectious. Who will be the Karl Norman to Cousin's Angwin?
Which promising young players will be damaged goods by the time we kick his ass out of the club?

No and No.

BTW, we've got Murph. Murph will be >>>>>>>>> cousins by the time he finishes.

No.

i just want to say right now i know nothing for sure, but as i and many others are thinking at the moment...i think ben cousins is in a whole heap of trouble.

It is quite possible he has played his last game.
 
IF he has an alcohol problem, IF he has a drug problem, then NO THANK YOU.

I dont care how good a player is. If he has problems controlling himself with drugs and alcohol i do not want him at Carlton. We don't need more people to drag our club through the dirt.

Couldn't care less about his skills, he's obviously quite troubled and he can go elsewhere :)
 
No...b/c attitude problems...also, he won't come cheap we'll need as much cash as possible holding onto the players we've got over the next couple of years.
 
I still think we were wrong in cutting loose Angwin.

He had talent - and would still be in our 22 today.

But Cousins is now 28 (I think) - while he'd be good ... we have a young and impressionable list, so in that case - No thank You.
 
What a bunch of pious mugs you all are.............he would be the best player by so far in our team it wouldnt be funny.........so therefore he would be welcome.

As for his issues, everyone wakes up in life, i'm sure they could be sorted.

Cheers

Sure .. why not get his Bikey mates at the "Coffin Cheaters" to help out at training also .. and give young Bryce and Murph lifts to and from training?

I think its no secret anymore that there is a drug culture at West Coast ... why bring it here ?

I dont want players like that influences our young guys.

The only bunch of pious mugs around here are people supporting Cousins. There is no excuse, and i'm not too sure too many clubs would want someone like that on their list, regardless of talent. You can't isolate a problem or a player with a problem like that. To say he wouldn't affect the other players is ridiculous.

No thanks.

Just out of interest, do you think this whole blow up over there, the drugs, the alcohol, the rift between Chick and Embley etc, will have an impact on Judd's decision at the end of the year?

Certainly doesn't sound like a positive place at the moment. perhaps he'd rather play at a club that is happy and friendly and positive, a club like, say Carlton??

(*serious responses about teh first bit please, because i am interested to see whether peopel think this will influence judd and others)
 
No. He'd need to go to a team with a strong senior leadership group and that aint us.

Good point. However the guy is also not a kid anymore, he's 28. There comes a time when you need to start taking some responsibility for your own actions, and stop relying on others to point you in the right direction. Unfortuantley, that never happens for many many people.

Perhaps Brisbane with their 5 man captain squad could have him.

Edited for greater accuracy.
 
are u guys serious? Cousins is one of the elite players and one the best players in the comp. We would be stupid not to be interested in him. I would love to have cousins at the blues. I think everyclub would be interested in cousins.

AWG the oh so bright hobart girl who knows nothing about football!!!!

Yes i hate d88g users if that is what he is (no proof so far though), however people do kick the habit, love him at Carlton anyday.

We are here to win flags people, not play a team full of half no good pretty boys.


Must people on here are soft!!!

Cheers
 
No, we're just starting to clean up our act, so I couldn't see a club like us picking him up. Also, what would we have to give away to get him?
 
Even though on the field, Cousins is my favourite non-Carlton player, and I rate him just as good, if not better than Judd - I'd have to say no. As good a player he is, his off-field issues just aren't worth it at our young club. Our players are still young and don't need that sort of bad influence. Hopefully Cousins recovers and gets over these issues for his sake, but can't ever see him at Carlton.

Those comments are unnecessary. Just stick to the topic, lay off the personal attacks & FWIW, most people on here aren't soft, they have just had enough of our club being in the headlines for the wrong reasons.

Recruiting Ben Cousins to the club, no matter how good he is, would put the wrong message out there about where our club is heading. Yes we want success, but not at any cost. The Eagles can afford to carry the troublemakers because they control the media over there & can minimise the damage. Our brand would take a battering if we were to take on board a Ben Cousins or even a Daniel Kerr. We have no control over the football media in Victoria & we all know how they love to hang us out to dry.

Settle down Butch!:o Accusations all over the shop here, if we're all SOFT why do you bother posting? The majority of us here are respectful and give constructive feedback. We all have different opinions no need for that behaviour.
