Should Pies have picked Cousins?

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Fair point, I suppose the tigers were lucky that he was rejected by 3 clubs so it sort of gave him the kick up his arse that he needed.

Its arguable that he got a kick up the arse after all those rejections. If he wasnt motivated before that point after all the controversies that had followed him I'd be very surprised. It was always likely to go down to the wire as to whether or not he was going to have a career.

Its also yet to be seen if Richmond were lucky or unlucky to pick him up.

we'll just wait and see timmy....

But we had our reasons...and we'll never know them.

Thats the bottom line. Nobody is ever going to come out publically and tell us the complete truthful story as to why we said no. With all the crap that has been written about us not landing the big name, you'd have to think one was basically there for the taking. There must have been something that scared us off. And we'll never know what that is, so no point worrying about it imo.

You may get the true story after Cousins has retired and those involved at the club have left.

If there is a "True Story" to tell it will come out.

No eddie's interview this morning was intriguing.

Also after tonights performance he has become an entirely outside player/receiver. Not the type of player we need anymore

21 touches in his first hit out in over 500 days and still not match fit and you can judge he's become a receiver? You're kidding aren't you? I was rapt with the way he went as still looked like he had skill and poise.

Anyway good luck with the rest of the nab cup I reckon you blokes should at least make the gf and could possibly win it.

way too early in the season to determine if he will be as effective as he once was.

He had 14 or 15 handball receives

He is jordan mcmahon in a different guise

 

[Snag Breac]

He was all right, but nothing to write home about. But Beams and Macaffer will be stars.

A few answers needed:

Why did ben do the dash on the missus at the first sign of flashing lights and become the first man to break the 3min barrier for the mile? What was he hiding?

Why was he taken into custody in WA, looking off his face and struggling to walk properly?

Did Ben actually complete his rehab in the states?

What was it he was (presumably) sniffing off a table up on the Gold Coast?

What's with the holier than thou smirk every time he's interviewed. Didn't he bring the game into disrepute?

What did Christine Nixon tell Eddie?

What did the P.I. report find?

Why did he initially refuse to meet with Michael Voss and Brisbane?

Why did Brisbane and St.Kilda refuse to draft him?

Why is he being spotted everywhere partying, isn't he still recovering from an addiction?

Did Ricmond do due diligance before recruiting Ben or is Terry trying to save his career at the expense of the Richmond faithful?

Too many questions for mine. Eddie knows what the situation is better than any of us on BF, and for that reason alone i'll back the club and their decision!

I have never seen Benny duck his head. He might have run away from a few things in life, including the cops, but not duck his head!

So it seems after a week of polling nearly double wanted benny in black and white then those that didn't. Interesting.
