I'm sick and tired about reading how Ben Cousins was a lost opportunity. I even read somewhere how a Saints supporter would laugh if he kicked the winning goals in both games against us!
WTF!
The club is ALWAYS bigger than the individual. Especially if it's a player from another team. Doubly so if there are question marks over that player whether they be on or off the field.
Can we please start looking at what we do have, and not what we don't? I don't think he'll see the season out anyway, for one reason or another. So I don't think he'd be in our premiership team. He certainly won't be in Richmond's next flag.
But for those of you who thought he was going to get us over the line, how about we all start looking at ways of winning it with the guys we have. Surely you're not saying our boys aren't good enough and it's mission impossible even before the season has started
Still waiting for closure ... if you get my drift.

Why would you post a ridiculous statement like that?
A mate of mine did that many years ago.
It killed him, destroyed his family and the train driver's life.
Thoughtless comments like that are a sign of immaturity, gross stupidity, or both.
Biggest. Overreaction. Ever.
Thought through (yet still posted) comments like the above are the sign of political correctness run rampant, a trend which is literally ruining society and trampling the right to free speech. I'm sorry for your loss, but that doesn't mean that people can't make flippant comments about scenarios that they clearly had no inkling might be offensive... If we have to censor every comment on the off chance we might offend someone we might as well switch off the internet now and stop socialising. I've lost a couple of close friends to drug overdoses but you thoughtless bastards keep mentioning drugs in relation to Ben Cousins, how "immature and grossly stupid"....

(Again that is your supposition, mine is differen) So I don't think he'd be in our premiership team. (You don't think a fit and firing cousins would made an improvement to our midfield) He certainly won't be in Richmond's next flag. (Again supposition, their odds have dramatically increased tho)

never said it was mission impossible
just think it would have been a dam sight easier with him in the team than against us
I do believe Kevin Sheedy has more flags on his own
than any of our current board members
or unfortunately our club
and he agrees with me
Well I actually agree with him
but you know what I mean
even harves reckoned he be good fit
but then did he have "confidential information"
