    Saints are set to sign Cousins

    At least he'll fit in in St. Kilda

    Further cementing St. Kilda's reputation as a retirement home for rejects / outcasts / has-beens of the AFL...

    How's the list of recruits over the last few years?

    Schneider

    Dempster

    King

    C. Gardiner

    M. Gardiner

    Ray

    Birss

    terrible... just terrible

    Top 4 yes, but miles away from what we're all chasing. Their constant topping up is putting them closer and closer to the eventual disaster that our season was.

    Saints blew a huge chance in 04 and are patching up cracks since then. Putting Cousins back with Gardiner-Interesting mix!!

    yeah, the imminent collapse is what i was getting at...

    but yeah, it is still hard to argue with top 4.

    slight oversight on my part.

    Dear members,

    In response to the many emails and letters I’ve received from members and supporters regarding whether the Collingwood Football Club plans to recruit Ben Cousins, I would like to clarify the club’s position.

    As you would be aware Collingwood has a very clear recruiting strategy to invest in the development of young talent which has been in place for a number of years. While the club will always explore specific opportunities to bring in experienced players to bolster the team, our overriding preference is to recruit youthful talent that will be with the club for the next 10 years.

    As highlighted during the recent trade period we evaluated all the potential trade options but refused to compromise our early draft picks, and as a result we will have four picks inside the top 50 (11, 29, 45, 46) in the upcoming AFL draft.

    We believe these players along with our existing crop of young stars will form the basis of our next premiership team. For this reason, Ben Cousins is not part of our considerations and draft plans in preparation for the 2009 season and beyond.

    Gary Pert

    Collingwood Football Club CEO

    The four picks inside the top 50 include 45 and 46!

    This guy's a genius of a spin doctor.

      Recent meetings between Melbourne and Carlton have developed a striking and somewhat familiar narrative, underscored by a series of closely contested encounters ultimately decided by narrow margins. The Blues have won out on each of the past four occasions:-

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
