Although in a sense it pains me to say it, finishing last is becoming more and more of a reality as the rounds go by. If we do finish last does anybody know the list of possible high profile players out of contract come seasons end? We would be able to negotiate an excellent trade with PSD #1 in hand.

Can we not wait until the end of the season for these threads?

Even in trade week they are pointless, but at least relevant.

Even if you were told, every player would still have 10 weeks to sign a contract

Ben Cousins. Thread over

Yep, i agree. Ben Cousins...

Yep, i agree. Ben Cousins...

where we are at in our development, getting Ben Cousin would be idiotic. he's over 30 yrs old, therefore, do NOT get him

Out aims should be Robbie Warnock. If we could get someone like Mitch Thorp to nominate that would be genius.

Wouldn't cousins already have been snapped up in the normal draft? Or is he prevented from nominating?

He can nominate for both drafts....

The national draft you can't put a price on your head.... but a club could easily sign a new contract in rd 1 which avoids this....

As for the 1PSD you wouldn't use it on cousins... most won't want him so you could have two spots on the list and use pick 10.

and even though he is his 30 he would be great for a couple of years to teach the younger midfielders even to put melbourne in the media.... even bad press has melbourne in the press

I would rather have cousin on the list than someone like weetra at pick 76

Id be surprised if we didn't get Robbie Warnock with this pick. He has the chance to go home, play with his brother and become the no1 ruckman at the club all things he will never be able to do at Freo.

Ben Cousins !!

I'm almost in utter shock that I completely agree with you.

That said, it's way too early to know the candidates. There could well be some tasty surprises at year's end.

ben " i love eccys" cousins

he can snort as much cocaine as he want as long as he is ripping it up on the field like he has done in many years!
