Rookie Draft Twitter

Re: Rookie Draft Twitter

I guess so. Slightly off topic, Ben Cousins is paying for himself already. Apparently the Richmond Membership department is being flooded atm with new members.

So I hear. I hope they make them out of cardboard so when the invetible time to rip them up (Probably around R8 or 9) comes it'll be easier for them.

Hey can we keep politics off WOOF in regards how to vote.

When the Greens stop using my club for their cheap political stunts, then I'll stop gunning for them.

I'm still a bit confused as too why we were not in the mix for this guy?

Low membership base, crap exposure, minimal interest from sponsors, this guy would create a media circus all year long, pull many members out from the woodwork and literally pay for his own contract .

I understand that this guy has his issues and that we have a few ageing stars on our list. However, with the retirement of west and the development of Ward and Higgins still some time off, this guy would of been absolutely perfect for us.

Just picturing him in the mids with coons, and crossy, a scary propostiton for opp teams.

I also realise this is a highly ignorant post which only touches the surface and doesn't raise the concers that the club might of had. I wait for someone to fill me me cause where I'm standing there aint to much too lose if we got this guy.

The reason I associated with it was Aker's allegations about Braun (Cousin's former team mate). Recruiting Cousins would make us look hypocritical IMO.

Soory man, I didnt' read back that far.

I simply read the part about how much the Tigz will profit from this guy, I wonder how consideration, if any, was given to this guy?

Re: Rookie Draft Twitter

I don't think we would have put much thought into Cousins, from memory, Eade came out very soon after he was made available and said we would not be taking him.

I would liken Cousins to the Ring from Lord of the Rings. While extremely powerful, not safe and eventually it will turn your club Errm Frodo to darkness.

Does that make Wallet, Schmegal?

Similar skin.

Re: Rookie Draft Twitter

Club was against it on inside from start. Good stance by WBFC.

Richmond haven't bought themselves a finals place, they've bought themselves a media circus that will distract their playing list all year and baggage for their next coach after Wallet gets the sack mid-year (I'll put real money on this) before Cousins leaves the club in disgrace after his third positive (only a matter of time).

It'll all end in tears, and it couldn't happen to a nicer club.

Re: Rookie Draft Twitter

I'm not sure Cousins is up to playing a full year of AFL football anyway. His last year at WCE was ruined by soft tissue injuries, and the game gets 4% faster every year.

I dare say that Wallet and his team will be there abouts in Sept

From a playing point of view, Cousins at his finest would almost guarantee the tigz a finals birth. From a financial perspective, he will pay his own contract within the week with enough publicity to fuel that club for the next 2 years.

The risk would be whether his body breaks down and or tests positive. I doubt highly he would test positive, so the only potential risk, IMO, is whether his body stands up.

I'm talking about a general rule of thumb. Footy not politics.

SURE they will. In ninth.

And the only reason Cuz won't test positive is if they totally fudge his results or the AFL collude to hide it. If the guy is not still on the juice I'm a five-legged chicken.
