What makes you think Ben Cousins, turning 31 next year, will be fit after playing 7 games over two seasons then?
What makes you think he has two-three years left in him?
I don't see how Cousins will help our membership, we just had our worst year since '97, arguably the worst season for any team since Fitzroy, and yet we have record membership.
Personally, I believe we are building our club from its roots, from the ground up. I don't think we should invest time in people like Ben Cousins, no matter how well they could play for a year or two, we need to back ourselves to become a power again.
