    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

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
