WESTERN BULLDOGS coach Rodney Eade has dismissed suggestions the club intends to pick up former West Coast captain Ben Cousins in the draft later this year.
Cousins is expected to make a comeback with a VFL team this year in the hope of being drafted by an AFL club for the 2009 season.
Despite the Bulldogs being the bookmakers' favourite to draft the 2005 Brownlow medallist,
Eade said he was more interested in developing the club's impressive batch of youngsters.
"I wouldn't think he'd be in our plans," Eade said.
"We're a reasonably young side and I think our midfield's OK, and the fact that we've got good youth I would think we'd be going down the youth path."
