LIONS coach Michael Voss has reportedly made a secret trip to Perth to meet Ben Cousins.
Voss flew to Western Australia on the weekend with Lions football manager Graeme Allen for a face-to-face meeting with the disgraced former Eagles captain, radio station 3AW is reporting.
The visit comes less than a week after the Lions board appeared to go cold on the prospect of drafting Cousins, but Voss said Brisbane was still open to the possibility.
"I just think the door's not shut," Voss told Channel Seven. "That's what's been communicated to me in any conversations internally in the football club."
Cousins is yet to announce whether he will enter Saturday's AFL Draft or wait for the pre-season draft in December.
St Kilda appears to be the only other club likely to draft Cousins. It is meeting tomorrow night to decide whether it will attempt to recruit him.

My thinking is that we are the club he intends to come to, but if no one else shows interest and we are indeed his only hope, then Nixon has no hand and we could pay Cousins peanuts.saintsRrising wrote:Do the Lions have more salary cap problems than the Saints?markp wrote:Ben needs to find some way to push his price up a little.
I would have thought the Saints would tighter??????

If we pay Cousins peanuts next year and he is a good boy, we will have Eddie Filth digging in our backyard.

I think brisbane are now the favourites to get BCCon Gorozidis wrote:i still reckon brisbane might be playing us. say they aren't interested so ben drifts out and then snatch him from under our nose with a late pick.
