November 25th 2008 09:37
Ben Cousins' AFL career appears all-but dead after St Kilda Football Club ruled against drafting him in the national pre-season draft.
In a statement:
St Kilda said in a statement: "After much deliberation, the St Kilda Football Club Board and executive met today and made the decision not to proceed with pursuing Ben Cousins.
"The Club conducted a complex five month review on Ben Cousins and its own playing group, resulting in a list management blueprint with a long term and strategic approach."
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.
"The Club would like to thank Ben and his management for the professional manner in which they have conducted discussions during this period.
"The Club's internal review remains the property of the club and is therefore confidential.
"There will be no further comment made on the matter."
