Cousins no Saint

After months of specualtion that Ben Cousins would make his comeback in 2009 in a St Kilda guernsey the board has chosen to stop pursuing Cousins after a meeting today. St Kilda have been leading the race to secure Cousins for months and it now appears they may have been the only club willing to take a punt on the former West Coast champion. St Kilda issued a press release tonight which stated the club had conducted complex review over a 5 month period regarding Cousins. Saints CEO, Archie Fraser said, “We owed it to ourselves to undertake a rigorous and thorough review and have now made our decision. This is a decision that we didn’t take lightly and we still believe that for the right Club, Ben could well be a great opportunity.” AFL Online apologises for the lack of updated content following the 2008 season, we have been working on other projects such as our recently released Cricket site – Cricket Central.
