Ben Cousins sign's with Pt Melb

[NO-MERCY]

Ben Cousin's has apparently signed with Pt Melb under Gary Ayres.
He has yet to train with the club but will so shortly.
Estimated figure of 100k.

[Footy Chick]

Really

OK. I knew he couldn't play AFL, but is Port Melbourne in the VFL, which is like the reserve grade for Melbourne or someone like that? Does that just mean he will effectively be playing AFL reserves for the year?

Looks that way mate, i don't know what AFL club Pt Melb's assigned to but Gary Ayres is coaching & has spoken to Cuzy at great depth & he has signed on the dotted line.
This will hit the papers very soon.

Isn't the VFL salary cap not much more than $100k? I'm sure his team mates will all be rapt that they get so little to share after he gets paid.

Where is your source from this?

I will take your word for it, I just hope you did not get it from Big Footy because that is hardly credible.

They were aligned with Sydney and Kangaroos in the early 00's but as of 2005 they are not on board with any AFL club.

Mate in Melb hasn't let me down yet.
Theres always the 1st but i'm confident he'll come through.

[Hondo]

That rumour was on 5AA on the weekend too - in fact it might have even been on their news service?

Anyway, I heard it and forgot about it until now

If theres not much you cant do, you shouldn't have a picture of Rambo as your avitar, Rambo should have a picture of you!!!

[NO-MERCY]

Yes i must say i make mistakes & i know i need to improve my grammer!
Who cares, you know what i mean.

[GWW]

Is grammer slang for grammar

[CUTTERMAN]

Now I've seen it all, a Port supporter correcting someone's 'gramma' and then being corrected by a Port supporter
Must be the heat!

Not the heat a miracle

Let's hear it for good grammar!

My grammar bakes good scones, she's a top old bird.

Perhaps he'll have to buy cheaper product - or Gary has arranged not to pay him in cash??

[Wedgie]

Last I heard was that Port Melbourne are one of the clubs with an unlimited salary cap for Victorian born players so the cap is no issue.

[Punk Rooster]

Maybe the SANFL should introduce a similar system, to bring itself into line, with SA born players..

Port Melbourne officials have said that Ben will not be playing for the club.
