THE playing future of Ben Cousins remains in serious doubt after St Kilda announced that it won't be drafting the former West Coast captain.
The Saints decided against drafting Cousins after a five-month review that took into account the 30-year-old's previous drug-related misdemeanours as well as the structure of it’s current playing list.
St Kilda chief executive Archie Fraser said the decision was made in the best long-term interests of the club.
"We owed it to ourselves to undertake a rigorous and thorough review and have now made our decision,” he said.
"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."
