URGENTLY REQUIRED: a bit of MONGREL!
The best team won no disputing it! But the reality is we need to replace the hardness that went when we lost Hamill, Powell and Baker (will we see him next year?) Too many undoubtedly talented players without the hard edge so necessary in Finals success.
We're not THAT far off being the side we all want to be...but our priority has to be HARDNESS thats what the hawks had over us last night!

i mean bally is head over it 24/7
lenny too when he is in there and not running his ass off
we just need a real tough nut of a bastard that has no fear and no second thoughts, but has a controlled temper

howl me down if u want but i think we're a good show for Ben Cousins. Has everything we want as a player (minus the rep)
Gut working hard runner
Excellent disposal both sides
Finals experience
Takes no crap out of no1
Is a leader on the footy field
Guys like Ball and Dal would learn a lot about becoming elite footballers from him and IMO our culture now is strong enough to manage a bad egg which I think he isn't... i think he's passed that too.

Didnt we have Harvs for all their careers. Not sure they can learn more off Benny compared to Harvs. Also dont think we are close enough to winning a GF to get a 31 year old out of footy for 2 years.skeptic wrote:howl me down if u want but i think we're a good show for Ben Cousins.

I'd take Cousins ahead of Kerr.
Cousins has been all the way down and the day is dawning as to what has been going on his life. Yes it is a risk, but we need to take the chance and give him a second chance.
As for Kerr, he hasn't gone past being a player with an alcohol and anger management problem and probably never will.
Send him to Collwingwood and he can get the tours of Melbourne's nightclubs from Didak.

Agreed one is 31 and the other is 25. One was banned for a year the other wasnt. One missed nearly 2 years of footy the other missed 6 weeks. Yep no brainer Cousins over Kerr.ozrulestrace wrote:I'd take Cousins ahead of Kerr.
