    I had a look at the books I use and none of them have any markets re the draft.
     
    Will he get picked up? I have no idea

    Sportingbet usually offer such bets for these type of 'events', but they haven't to date and with the draft on later this afternoon this will not happen.  As for being drafted, that won't happen either as my sources tell me that:
     
    1.  The draft has too much talent in there to use on a risky player;
     
    2.  Any team that is considering him, and it looks like being very limited number of them these days, will only look at the pre-season draft;
     
    3.  And finally, the most important, teams still are waiting on which Ben will turn up over the next month or so before making the final decision.  Personally I thought the best club would be the Hawks, but I have found out that 2 of the 6 players currently in the AFL that are on 2 strikes for drugs are from the Hawks so they wouldn't run the risk.
    That's just what I have heard, and believe me my sources are genally around the mark...and as for one of the Hawks boys, well what can I say, he is considered by many as one of the best player's in the league.  If you know enough about Aussie Rules, you'll work that one out, otherwise do some research as I won't name him

    Can I ask why the AFL such a ridiculous rule relating to drugs?

    This is why I have a little (and I stress very little) sympathy for Cousins. The guy has now been pretty open about taking drugs and is paying for it now having been deregistered last season and now garnering little interest with clubs for the upcoming season yet you have players who have failed doping tests behind closed doors still allowed to play in the AFL and the public are none the wiser
     
    Stinks of hypocrisy and double standards from the AFL commission.
