I didn't "bother asking" you to "prove" anything was said.

I'd expect something more specific. It seems a bit random to raise such a claim in regard to this recent discussion when nobody had claimed it.

Hmmm......maybe I failed English.........

Are you for real? By specific I meant relevance to your post where you quoted and responded to me. You've since stated there wasn't any. The fact is I never asked you to prove anything.

It's incredible how you decided to quote and enter into a discussion with me where I'd mentioned our 2 15th finishes, and then stated whoever has this stupid idea of us failing with Cuz just because we finished near bottom in his 2 years, definitely needs some education. Quite extraordinary that such an irelevant comment, as you admit, suddenly appeared.

How do YOU know 'nobody' claimed it?? Do your own search I can't be bothered at this time of night.

I didn't say nobody had claimed it. I have no need to search because I said nobody had claimed it in this recent discussion.

Instead of condescending comments about solicitors and courts and need for an education maybe you should stop posting false claims and irrelevant comments when you quote someone.

Rosy, you're always full of accusations and technicalities. Your comment I just highlighted is not one of the few I've seen in previous posts & threads as mentioned earlier, and I didn't say these were made on THIS discussion as you call it.

I'm not sure how you read my comments as condescending about solicitors and courts and posting false claims. Ridiculous.

I certainly didn't say you said the claims were made on THIS discussion.
 
All I am going to say is this.

Craig McRae said Ben Cousins is a better leader than Michael Voss.

That says it all.

His opinion holds weight.
 
Listening to Nova this morning, Ben didn't sound too confident in being able to play this week.

he basically said you don't always get a fairytale finish. He will sit down with the selection panel,coaches and can go till Sat to prove his fitness

I laughed though when he was jokin' around with the crew & said "hey I could make an impact on the game (in jest went on) I could get nude, jump the fence & go for sprint to get arrested"... hahaha

I was going to say X 1,000,000, mainly from a PRE perspective, but might have to reconsider. Judging by comments, and the ultimate faith some have in them, from the cast of thousands who are asked questions about Ben, it seems we're headed for an era of outstanding success on the back of his influence. Plenty of Benlows and Richmond premierships coming up. Woohoo. :gotigers

For all the talk of $s for a farewell game this is likely closer to the reality of it.
340 games and a club champion but I see Andrew McLeod wasn't going to patch himself up for a farewell game with the Crows as he didn't want to put himself above the team and hinder their chances of winning. That to me speaks volumes.
I would imagine Cousins & the club will take a similar line if he's not fit enough to play. No point being remembered as a hobbler in a losing team despite the coin it might generate in the short term.

Good!

Bring in the kids and let's get over this whole Ben Cousins circus.

There's more to Ben and his visits to hospital many do not know. ;)
 
You're obviously not going to say what more there is to know so why bother with the innuendo?

Isn't that what we want ?

The players have spoken highly of his influence, so it must show some success in the way they play somehow. It's all education. Whether it works or not all depends on the player himself. Same thing would've happened if any other skilful player like Cuz played with us.

I just don't understand why you make sarcastic remarks on this whole story about Cuz, when it's publicly stated by many at the club that his influence has helped in some way.
 
It looks like these arguments will continue no matter who Rosy argues with. I guess she's the cause of them all, since she's at the centre of each one.

The whole Ben Cousins story has unfolded in exactly the opposite way you predicted Rosy. No wonder you're so biased against him.

Can you at least admit your opinions were completely wrong back then? And maybe now you're wrong again?

You don't exactly have a good record when it comes to giving opinions on Ben Cousins.

In 2008:
Rosy: He'll taint the kids and ruin our culture.
Me: Forget about the drugs, he is the ultimate leader who will improve our culture.

You're too stubborn to admit how wrong you were. You're still trying to justify yourself 2 years later.

Did Ben Cousins make our culture worse than it was 2 years ago or not?

And don't do the classical Rosy "go search a million pages for the exact quote and until then I will not answer any questions".

Answer the question for once.

let me guess, you know because a mate of yours knows the guy who dates the woman who does the pedicures for the cop who busted him ::)

It may come across to you as innuendo Disco, I must be fortuntate enough to know the the 'rumoured' version of why Ben went into hospital.

:hihi getting better Tiger74, but up to the standard!

All I have to say there are resaons why Hutchy still calls him a Drug Addict, and not a reformed drug addict. All this drug testing and pubic hair samples are just *smile* at the end of the day.

he is the most drug tested person in Australia, yet he comes up clean?

you can only avoid testing so much by management, especially when it is random

please also don't tell me you believe the rumour one poster did months ago that cousins has access to a secret type of cocaine that police are unable to test for. if this was the case, it would be the biggest story in policing world wide, and no-one would be giving a toss about cousins role

if you are gunna say he is using and avoiding, please do better than following Caro by just saying "because I know ;)"
