COUSINS ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY
BY STEPHEN BAKER
SPECULATION continues to intensify about the immediate playing future of disgraced former West Coast star, Ben Cousins.
An announcement on the thirty year old’s playing future is tipped to be made today.
Despite the denials of Port Melbourne Football Club president Barry Kidd yesterday, that Cousins had made no official contact with his club, ‘The Borough’ continues to top the list of rumoured destinations for the 2005 Brownlow medalist.
According to a report in today’s Herald-Sun newspaper, it is not sure at this stage, whether Cousins will play, or merely train with a VFL club as he attempts to rebuild his shattered career.
Both the AFL and AFL Victoria, the VFL’s governing body, have green-lighted Cousins’ return to football in this state if he chooses to.
Port Melbourne coach, Gary Ayers, said he was unaware of any moves by the 2006 premiership player to join the VFL powerhouse.
The VFL’s transfer deadline expires on June 30.
FOOTYHEADS, should Cousins resurrect his career through the WAFL in Western Australia, or should Victoria be the place Ben attempts to resurrect his career?
