I think all clubs bar st kilda have been about conservative as a liberal government on the ben cousins matter. He's a superstar. Sure there's a risk, but its not as if you are throwing a first round draft pick at him. Its a psd. Look at the history of the PSD. It is a rubbish dump of recycled players. If he loses the plot, who cares, its worth a punt. Im booking in the saints for the flag if he plays the way he should.
PS: I KNOW that he is not coming to melbourne.
