How quick people change

life is funny dont you think iv just been sitting here reading threads about ben cousins about how supporters are saying oh we would have him in a heart beat. Now let me take you back a few months ago I'm pretty sure out side of subi every game he played he got booed and also cheered when he injured him self. Me i think most of you are hypocrites and ill be very surprised if any club will take the risk and pick him up.

the debate on the saintsational site is interesting, about 40% yes, 40% no and about 10% undecided.

as I said earlier on another thread cousins>kerr or judd or embley.

I dont want him at st kilda but 2 season ago I would have had him IMO.

at 29, facing drug allegations, his off field reputation in tatters and facing a charge by the police as well as being mixed up with various special units in the police force, I think st kilda has had enough drama over the years without adding this fuel to the fire.

Yeah, you're right. I don't reckon there's ever been a talented player opposition fans have booed before.

Something a Richmond fan would know first hand *cough* Rodan *cough*

but funny you say that Jimmy, I was just thinking how quickly some of the WC fans opinions have changed. Defending him and wanting him to get healthy when he was de-listed, but then on his back when he wants to play for another club

Personally i'd be devastated if the Hawks drafted him.

On a side note, if a club does draft him and he f@#ks up again, does that club then face the wrath of the AFL in terms of sanctions, fines and loss of draft picks?

Also, how would a clubs sponsors react to drafting Cousins?

What's with peoples obsession about booing? It's footy, players get booed all the time. There doesn't have to be a reason for it other than the fact that a player is wearing an opposition jumper and trying to beat your team.

Isn't the whole point of home ground advantage the fact that the crowd makes life uncomfortable for the opposition? Or should we be sporting and applaud when they get goals too?

Any player that runs out onto the field against Freo is fair game to be booed as far as I'm concerned. It's nothing personal, if they played for Freo I'd probably love them.

Anyone who's precious enough to get upset when they hear one of their players being booed should probably be watching golf or bowls instead, where they can politely clap all the competitors. Maybe footy's not your game.

The only time I would clap an opposition player is when they are being stretchered or helped off the ground. It's a show of respect they deserve considering they hurt themselves while entertaining us.

He also just had a fairly decent hamstring tear at the age of nearly 30, which generally spells trouble.

I'd imagine 95 percent of Blues supporters would be against the club even considering drafting Cousins.

I think you overestimate how much people in the East care. If we have a go it is as much for the sake of stirring than anything else.

People boo and stir 'villians' from other clubs all the time and then cheer them when they turn around and play for their club.
It's a game , not climate change or starving people in Africa.It's a shame that Ben keeps knocking them off the front page.

WoW thats pretty fast.

On a completely un-related note, did anyone see that chasers episode where they did a voice over/take off of an election add?
right at the end where the voice normally says really quickly " spoken by greg dwight, act Canberra" or whatever it said,
" i'm speaking really fast because i've got lots of speed off ben cousins."

Was pretty funny.

Yep! I'd hate him at Carlton.
