Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Now the're digging up 2005 stuff.

The media are going to crank it right up.Probably other clubs 'news' as well.

Baton down the hatches,a storms commin'-possibly for many clubs.

.
Yep stuff from the 90's and 80's will come back up.

The biggest thing about the wire taps is that Rick Lewis says he told Demetriou about the tapes and asked if he should conduct a AFL investigation but Demetriou told him not to bother.

Now Demetriou is claiming he cannot remember the conversation, what a disgrace. Watch the AFL start to duck for cover and claim that they did everything right. They knew and had proof something was wrong in the West and did nothing. Demetriou has failed as a custodian of the game and has let down the Eagles and the football public. The sooner he is out of power along with Anderson the sooner we can get the game back to something the paying public want to watch.

Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

And what has every club in the AFL done in regards to this matter, either stick their heads in the sand or try to handle it in house, West Coast tried to handle it in house, they moved on both Gardiner after several chances and Edwards (who dropped 10 kilos in small period of time during 2005), physical appearances are usually a good indicator to a problem. Rumours and innuendo are just that, they don't prove a right or a wrong. If players are training well and playing well, turning up to club functions and doing all the right things, its pretty hard to tell that the player is on something, its only when that particular player starts to have trouble with their life due to the substance abuse, will you notice there is a issue, people will say the AFL or West Coast could've, should've done more, well you can guarantee that things will change in a big way now. This week in football has been the small tremor, the tsunami that will follow will be a *smile*!

It it working for me still - I'm not sure why it wouldn't be for you.

Apparently the audio was taped in 2003.

Great link. Amazing stuff.

This really is the tip of the iceberg. This is going to get ugly for a lot of people.

Hows the bit with Kerr(when 'special K' is mentioned) saying with a knowing laugh 'oooh the stakes just got a whole lot higher'-and that was nearly 4 years ago

Wouldn't suprise me if he misses round 1 too.

Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

By the way.If Andrew Rule wants a new theme for his next article.He should look into the dangers of mixing special K and valium.

Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

I don't know if anyone will be able to get this to work, I can't, but it's the podcast of this morning's AM program on 3LO where they played discussion from the police tapes.

Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

The Eagles buried their head in the sand over this and let Cuz and co run riot.
How could you not crack it with Cuz doing the triathlon.
This might be a Victoria Police investigation, but I'm sure the WA police would be assisting them. And the WA police are very unhappy with the Eagles over the lack of candour from Cuz.

Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Makes you wonder why the police didn't deal with it earlier.

Makes me wonder more why Woosha and the West Coast didn't deal with it.

Woosha said on the footy show he'd heard these tapes.They clearly imply that Kerr and Cousins were dabbling in Kentamine(whoosha is a pharmacologist,he would've known the implications of young people expirementing with horse tranquilisers).and all this as far back as 4 years ago.Kentamine is about as dangerous a drug as it gets.Kerr would've been 20 at the time of this tape.

Kerr and cousins subsequently got into a number of other 'indescrections' since- leading any normal person into coming to the conclusion that it was an ongoing problem.Running from cops,dealings with underworld figures,jumping on taxis,flatlining in Vegas,forging prescriptions etc.These are all documented by police and the media.

Appalling actions from a bloke responsibe for a group of well paid young and impressionable adults.

Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Wasn't aware of that cracker. Were any of the players charged with drug possession and use? What were their penalties?

I agree about Woosha evo but wondered about the police from a criminal viewpoint.

Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Kerr is just inquiring about the possibility of purchasing.There's not really anything the police can charge him with.

I wasn't referring to action based specifically on those tapes evo.

Which instances were you refering to?

Police can suspect someone is using,but if there's no hard evidence(like finding someone in possession of drugs) they can't charge them.

Seeing someone suffering the effects of drugs is not enough to charge someone.
