Good onya Joffa. Passion, that's what we like to see.

Is that a scientific observation or just a miserable piece of fundamentalist self-righteous scapegoating?

^^ The latter.

Well done Benny Boy. You have proven you can deliver a clean result for the required minimum time period between drinks.

Whats that? With the correct fluid expulsion.....2 and a half weeks...?

Yes well, as much as it would have been nice to see him in our colours, I'm not sure it would have been the right message to send some of the younger blokes. Sure, he deserves a second chance but are we the ones to give it to him? With that said, I'm not sure the Aints are either. Isn't Gardiner a bit of a pisspot? He's going to be a great influence. Not.

My brain uses AIML to format responses to your inputs, but I don't have one for that. What are you wearing?

Manager Ricky Nixon has prepared a detailed case on Cousins' behalf.

Nixon's case will outline the former West Coast captain's extensive rehabilitation program and will try to explain his addiction.

It is believed the submission will explain how the Brownlow medallist cannot give an undertaking that he won't relapse into drug taking, because most addicts do not conquer their demons at the first attempt.

Hope he makes it. And yet some people can't understand why the club had its doubts Go figure.

No-one can give a cast iron guarantee that they will never fall victim to drug addiction, alcohol addiction, gambling addiction etc etc - footballer or not!

As far as Ben is concerned - he has been on a far more extensive testing regime than a one off urine test!!

EXCLUSIVE: BEN Cousins' path back to football cleared significantly yesterday when his urine sample was found to be drug-free.

If Benny gets through all the tests and does everything right to get back into the AFL system, will Collingwood ever tell us the real reason that we never took him? I wont be happy at all, thats for sure!

mate, to answer your question, No, because the answer may be libellous.

But to put things in context, he's had anough time to prepare for the test, it wasn't a random one, he'd have to be a total dickhead to fail.

Craig Kelly- multi millionare and ex premiership player

Gallbally- well known barrister and comes from a loyal collingwood suppoter base
Jimmy Clement- ex player and astute business man

I really like the look of that board. Great to see three wonderful ex-players listed as well. Now if someone can get a ticket up.

lol not the Galbally's again... at least it isnt old Frank this time.

And BTW how many of them ACTUALLY have any intention to run for the board...

not that it matters for the purposes of agenda peddling here tho.......

And to the anti cousins clique on here,tell me this please: How the hell are we going to look when the Saints kick our arse,and Benny boots five goals against us,in a dominant display??Yep,like the bunch of fools we(the Board)are,yet again,and a laughing stock of football.De Ja Vu tony lockett.

Yes, but that's scientific fact Morrigu; you mustn't let such trivia get in the way of a good fundamentalist scapegoating.

Cousins wants to play for another five years.

That is utterr rubbish dude. Bollocks! A generalised statement that is way off the mark. As a social worker, I regularly come across former drug addicts and junkies who have been clean now for many years, even decades at times. That statement is true for SOME junkies but not for all.

I have vented my spleen enough about Cousins so I'll only repeat that Collingwood has just let go a golden opportunity to gain a talented player of experience to help our struggling midfielders because (according to them) he was too old at 30........Dear me.......

Still really disgusted and dirty on them but such is life following the mighty 'pies over the many years.........
