AFL Pre season draft - Tigers take druggie

Richmond has swallowed the bitter bill and given their club a real shot in the arm and at the same time given an upper to Ben Cousins spirits, sending him soaring in ecstasy by drafting him this morning...

A grand total of 6 picks were made:

1 MELB Liam Jurrah Yuendumu Magpies
2 PORT Josh Carr Fremantle
3 ESS Hayden Skipworth Bendigo Bombers
4 CARL Chris Johnson Melbourne
5 BL Tom Rockliff Murray Bushrangers
6 RICH Ben Cousins Port Melbourne

6PR should be a bigger whingefest than a Pommy complaints box today

WIBF.

AWESOME!!!!

I've always said he's an awesome player ....





...and his footy is OK too

Already was ....and my cat is a pet member ...

Hmmm...a man with a cat...

The Melbourne Nightclub scene will rejoice.

I will now have to go to the MCG for the season opener. Carlton v Richmond. Judd v Cousins. Excellent.

Fark me, they'll have 80,000 at that one

Funny, the AFL did everything they could to stop him playing, yet will reap the reward when the crowds turn out...

BTW, you can download your Tiges membership here.

It's a Richmond supporting cat ...so it's non

And the Wozzie love-fest continues.

Meh.

All we need now is for Sydney to fold under their mountain of debt, and be replaced by a team from Tassie and all is right in the world.

9thmond will still finish 9th

Goes neatly with BLB being forgiven for the 9th time.

Fark this "everyone makes mistakes" malarky all the benevolent Tigers supporters are going on about makes me puke.

That should get Zimmy going.

Phurt at Skully.

I am stoked for the guy.

My biggest fear is that he will get injured and miss most of the season.

Next you'll be complaining about how the Refs treat Bazza Hall...

It's good that somebody gave Cousins a chance, but even better that it was somebody else besides my mob.

Right now fans of 15 clubs will most likely be thinking that.

Mike Sheehan was on FS news earlier and said that Cousins was still one of the top 10 footballers in the land and that the Tiges were a good chance of making the top 4.

Does he ever think before he speaks?

So, how many weeks before a positive test is returned? Will he get past the pre-season competition?

I don't think anyone knows how he'll go. I imagine he'll do what Aker does for the Doggies...the occasional short game breaking burst.

Doesn't matter...Buddy has tested positive 3 times and he's still playing. I'm sure the AFL will apply the rules fairly.
