Yeah, because everyone's expecting a fairytale ending!
You think that the club, fans and potential sponsors aren't aware of the risks? Obviously there are already a lot of sceptics, so it's not exactly like there will be a massive backlash if Cuzz does get it wrong.

Has anyone mentioned that Dick Smith Electronics is owned by Woolworths?

Comedy gold!!!
Mate..I wish him and Richmond well..but this a bigger risk than you imagine.
1 wrong move and it will be the biggest story since Carey quit North!
Why do you think the Eagles sacked him?
Why do you think Judd left?
You are putting your entire club's culture and credibility on the line here for an aging, drug addicted guy who's played 6 games in 2 years!!
But like I said...good luck with that...

Agreed, really cannot fathom that someone would say "not supporting that company, they recruited cousins". Personally when I am out shopping I don't give my clubs sponsors a second thought - should I only buy puma and never nike because puma are a sponsor.
The only person who is to blame should this all go south is cousins himself. Richmond have given him the opportunity to turn his life around, if he chooses not to then it's his fault and his fault alone and I don't buy the nonsense that it's a wasted draft pick, every pick in a draft is a gamble.

Shouldn't you only have one MAJOR sponsor?
Sounds like Richmond have been calling their secondary sponsors 'major sponsors' to make them feel good.

How so?
Lets say in 3 months he gets done for a failed drug test.
The AFL deregister him and Richmond still gets the credit for giving the guy a chance.
It doesn't reflect badly on our 'culture' because everyone knows he had the problem before he got to Richmond.

They have stated that they will not be extending after this year.
Oh by the way they stated this well before the Cousins thing happened.
Judd left to come home to "cough cough" Melbourne and to take up a position as ambassador for Pratt
Yes we all know why the eagles sacked him but do you think if he stuffs up again richmond will be blamed for his downfall??
I would think richmond will look like the good guys in this no matter which way it plays out. They are giving a former champion the chance to get back to playing the game he loves when others have turned their back on him.
Why do you think the whole football community and not just tigers supporters are rapt to see cousins back? Do you think they'll all turn on richmond if it goes pear shaped?? I'd love to see cousins get back to his best, do I expect it? probably not but I'm hopeful he can, thats what this game is all about isn't it?
Eat em alive Cuzzy!

Richmond already look like two faced liars who picked up an aging druggie instead of the kid they claimed they were taking .
When cousins stuffs up it will be pretty hard look any worse than they already do.
I'd be more nervous if I was a cats fan. Car companies are going belly up left right and centre. Worry about your own back yard first.

Yeah, leave it to the supporters to tell the footy department what to do. Regardless of how toothless, feral and generally ill-informed they may be.
At least two clubs did some VERY detailed homework on this guy and lost interest as a result. You do the math.

We are big 4 baby.
Sponsors will come in their droves.
Aah Richmond,it's good to be the king!

Why? Cousins won't last long.
So I take it you're not a fan of giving people with addictions another opportunity? I know he's had many but it's now with another club.
I hope you don't ever have to deal with someone in your family who has a substance abuse problem. You may think differently then.
Sponsors will be nervous, coaches will be nervous, new teammates will be nervous, Tom Hislops mum will be nervous, and no doubt Benny will be nervous too.
But he's there now. Time to give they guy some time and some room. If he stuffs up, he stuffs up.
Richmond have a pretty good young list and it will be enhanced if Cousins succeeds and should not be too badly affected if Cousins fails.

Everyone knows that Cousins was a good player on the field, it's what he does off the field that is the big problem, as he has several mates over here with the same problem..not a good mix!! I hope he can stay on the straight and narrow, for HIS sake.Only time will tell, and let's hope he doesn't influence some of your young players off the field, that is a big concern, whether you like it or not.
Just means the previous second-major sponsor becomes the major sponsor.
