Cousins

[Duckworth]

If West Coast end up sacking Ben Cousins would you want to draft him? Well after he gets out of jail.

As a side note does anyone think Kepler wants to get back to Perth so badly because he feels like he's missing out??

Would you rather take Cousins or Rutten?

well that's obvious. Who is more likely to be left come our pick though.

 

[Darealrath]

Cousins will be at WC or nowhere.

The more important questions is whether the AFL will make good on their threat to WCE and take away their draft picks, possibly turning essendon's number 6 pick to number 5

Nah knowing the fact that Carlton get the world they will probably hand the number 3 pick back to them

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Rather get Brennan, Cousins is worth 2 or 3 bad things a year and as good as he is on the field I wouldn't want him at Essendon, plus he is 30.

 

[sweet_as]

cousins wont be playing footy nxt year if he isnt at West Coast

 

[Burzum]

No thanks. Don't want him to influence the young kids.

 

[bomberlegend2007]

We want kids going for Essendon not getting turned off

 

[Storyboy]

If he does have a zero tolerance contract with the WCE then he may nominate for the draft. It does make me wonder if another club could help him as the WCE does not 'appear' to be the best environment for him. I do not suggest that we should take him, but it may be that 'he' would be better off somewhere else.

if cousins is found guilty of this recent charge. I doubt he will be playing footy in the next 2 years, let alone efc next year.

we should just concentrate on brennan.

 

[Bomber32]

No, I don't want Ben Cousins. He is a complete goose.

This was my reasoning on it too. I wonder what the AFL will enforce this time (if anything) if he is found guilty. If he gets a 2 year ban that would effectively end his career, if the AFL didn't already.

Rutten won't be going anywhere.

Ben Cousins won't be going anywhere near Essendon.

 

[DaSawx]

Can't believe you even need to ask, no way would I want him anywhere near WH

I'm with you DaSawx dont want him anywhere near the club!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Why not? If he is available at 5, I'd pick him up in a flash, he is a damn fine midfielder remember! It is just that I think Richmond will get him!

Because he is a drug addict and is an extremely poor example for young players.

He has psychological problems and i couldn't think of a worse player to have associated with our club.

I am absolutely shocked people would even suggest it.

He's a loose canon, he's 30, he's arrogant, he could rub teammates the wrong way, he could be a poor influence on the young players, would backfire IMO.

Just doesn't seem to be over his issues, not worth the risk, let Richmond take, 1 less team to take a player with his head screwed on properly

 

[Red Black and Blue]

No thanks. Don't want him to influence the young kids.

great call. think he would be great at a club pushing for premiership but with such a young list dont think he would be good at all. Just another point does anyone think Chick is responsible for the drug mentality around the club as i heard he was kicked from hawks for that exact reason

I want success..guess what a team with Cousins in it is a heck of a lot better than one without him, as I said I'd pick him up. But there would be conditions such as curfews.

 

[B-Bomber]

If he does enter the PSD (Which I doubt) then he will clog up the picks before us for sure. Meaning another player will slip down and be available to us.

 

[DaSawx]

He's probably laugh that off and not give us a second thought

 

[LukeParkerno1]

There would be a number of conditions

1. Drug tests
2. Complete alcohol ban
3. Curfew of midnight

There is 3.
