Does anyone know if any bookies are offering odds on Cousins playing a game of AFL before either injury or further drug/legal problems end his career?

Any tips on bargain buys for Dream Team this year? Only a couple of weeks till the NAB cup starts (albeit the first round drawn out over 3 weeks).

Reckon Ben Ross is a massive bargain, should be in the team from round 1. Jesse Smith also great value since he's over his injuries. Hmac a great ruck (obv alongside Cox).

reckon most people will have Rich in their side.

Hmm ours might look like

Gibson Grima Pratt
Urquhart Petrie Firitto
Wells, Harris, Smith
Jones Hansen Ross
Campbell Hale Thomas
McIntosh Harvey Simpson

Rawlings, Swallow, Harding, Goldstein

Rawlings should miss out (but he won't) unless there is someone worth tagging. Harding might struggle to stay in there and we might not play Goldstein with Petrie and Hale about to help out Hmac. Expecting the likes of Lower, Edwards, Power, Riggio, McMahon, Josh Smith, Greenwood, Zeibell, Leigh Adams, Anthony and Scott Thompson should be in the mix as well. Some tough selectorial decisions this year (which means Laidley will still pick Shannon Watt)

Love it when footy related sledging starts in the office before Australia Day. Today's effort from one of the guys was:
"What do Tasmanian virgins and Richmond Football Club have in common?"
"They'll end up being screwed by Cousins".

Champagne comedy!

It was on your recommendation I signed Urquhart up last season, actually. You bigged him up after his debut and I got him for a song. Value went up by over $100k afterwards. So belated ta for that.

Looking to better last year's Premlin Final appearance. Now I actually know a bit about what players do I hopefully won't have to waste so many transfers sorting my squad.

I heard that 2 days after the drafting, tbh.

Cannot wait till Cuz kicks 3 and has 30 touches against Collingwood :p
Given that will probably never happen, you probably can't wait that long. ;)

I, on the other hand, can't wait for all the people who bagged out Collingwood for pulling out of the Cousins chase to acknowledge that we were right and they were wrong when he either tears his hamstring again, or ****s up with the law again....

He's a complete fool..would be surprised if he's at the club next year, there's plenty of competition for the forward spots and he's giving them all a head start. He's always been a bit of a plonker.
