THE AFL career of former West Coast captain Ben Cousins appears to be over after Richmond announced it would be 'highly unlikely' to draft him.
The AFL rejected an application from the Tigers to put injured utility Graham Polak on the rookie list, leaving it with just one pick in tomorrow's pre-season draft.
Richmond football manager Craig Cameron said while the club will consider its position overnight they are more likely to select a young player.
"It's unlikely the Richmond Football Club will select Ben with six. Our position with pick six has been fairly well documented," Cameron said.
"This (the AFL's decision to reject its bid to rookie-list Polak) is a decision that was unexpected by us. It's our prerogative to take a deep breath and consider our position."
"But it is highly unlikely we will select Ben."
