Report please!

Just the current affair show showing the dude who picked Ben at the Mebourne Casino and him giving his account of the night, same old stuff we've heard before.

I was thinking, why did Ben 'spin out' at the Melbourne casino? Maybe because the Birswood Casino in W.A. is a piece of rubbish. With 1 Irish Pub, 1 family restuarant where you have to wait 45 minutes for a meal listening to screaming kids, and 2 extravagant restuarants where you need a cheque book, no wonder Sammy Newman got kicked out, he was telling the management the truth about their complex............the surrounding gardens are a picture.

THis was always going to happen on Judd.

I just checked and all the Melbourne based clubs fan websites and they all have Judd threads.

He is the becon of goodness that the WCE need to build around. They will not let him move.

And even though Judd publicly stated no contract talks who is to say they are not going on behind closed doors with no pressure. They can take there time and just get things right.

By the end of the year the Eagles drama may becom one of four or five cases that are unearthed. The first case was always going to be a media circus.

I agree Scooper. May I add that the Eagles have $ and member power, the PR machinery will go into gear, Judd will stay in WA, and by the business end of the season the Weagles will be the squeakiest clean club in the League. Episodes like this raise the bar for players and so it should - while not expected to be moral beacons, these guys are paid to perform both physically and ethically. Here endeth the sermon.

I've got a conference there in September. Geez, sounds pretty boring. I might have to do a "Newman" and carve up to get some excitement going.
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Not too sure if this can be linked, but have heard some of Ben Cousins influences may have filtered through to the likes of ****
Does this mean **** & Richmond may have drug related problems?

It's a dangerous path naming names, Skills.

Yeah, but the player he mentioned is a "no-name."

(C'mon...admit it Bevo....you liked that one.)
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

I'd like Cousins to get into some white line fever for the Tiges.

If we can have Krakouer play every week, we could accomodate the Cuz.

Dunno. But his speed would be handy. I can see him now, screaming through the centre and drilling it down the pipe to Richo.
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Cousins is flying off to Arizona tommorrow apparently.Presumably to dry out.Probably not a bad idea to get away from the gawking masses.



Stay away from the peyote buttons Benny,
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Reportably the eagles knew about his troubles 5 years ago.....what is going on over there... :-\
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

flying to arizona?, I'd bet escaping media was closer to the mark than treatment.
The guy could not have a serious physical addiction......you have to 'work' to get an addiction, it's not as easy as naomi robson says.
Given that (excluding the past few weeks) he attends training, plays bloody good football and looks healthy...I'd be amazed if his use was anymore than recreational.

Still...fly out, look like your making an effort, come back 'clean', say sorry, pull your bloody head in, find god if you must and play good footy again
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Could it really be the end for cousins, i hope not a champion footballer but looks like not much between the ears....
It could be months before this guy is playing again, the weagles say he can’t train with them or their WAFL team...
If he aint training which im assuming he wont in the short term to get his life back in order, how does he come back from this this year.
