Don't want him. 28yo obviously mentally unstable drug addict who has reached the highs of AFL despite being heavily entrenched in drugs.

Why the hell would you want that sort of person influencing our crop of kids ?

I can't understand why anyone would even consider it.
perfect description of him.

stay far,far away from this tool.

I forgot AFL players dont smoke, drink, take drugs, have relations with the opposite gender, swear, gamble, go out past 9pm.....please dont be so naive....Cousins if they could get his head right (thats a big if)...got him away from Perth...would be perfect in our side....

Might blow up in our face too 8ty. Ever consider that?

This guy is starting to develop a criminal record. How many of these AFL players you are talking about have those?

Very true my old friend.... not many on my side on this one.... but if Cousins said to the RFC i want to play on...ill come to Melbourne get away from the Perth scene and ill go on a reasonable contract (one yr) - FOR NOTHING..... it would take some balls for the club to refuse...but they are all massive IFs and variables right now....but gee if we got him up and going for no price it would be some get. If he is not willing to do any of this then of course i wouldnt touch the man... in fact the only reason i entertain the thought is all down to the mans incredible footballing abitilty nothing more than that.
 
Re: Ben Cousins Arrested

I'm sure our sponsors would be thrilled. ;D

No doubt his star playing qualities 8ty it'll be interesting to see what eventuates from all of this.

Melbourne scene is a lot worse...it would be counsins paradise here...he was at summadayze last year..do i need say more
 
Re: Ben Cousins Arrested

He did Royce.... look there are a million questions and variables to this entire story... i am just putting it out there that i would think the RFC will be exploring all avenues if Ben was to go in the PSD. Perhaps if they feel they have the adequate resources in Melbourne and at the club and also taking him away from his comfort zone in Perth it might shake him up and give him a BETTER crack at turning his life around....who knows....i certainly dont i just think its an interesting scenario that could quite easily eventuate and id be interested to see how the club would act on it.....id be one to give him another go here in Melbourne.
 
Re: Ben Cousins Arrested



Hey A1 and A2...do these stuff ups equate to the three strikes and you are out policy. I wonder if we will see some balls or more shoe shuffling we dont want to do anything its a police matter lets sweep it under the carpet action?

...pretty lame comment....there are drugs everywhere...especially in the AFL....he wont escape them and you cant stop a 28yr old male from gaining access to them. Its the people he is hanging around in WA that might be the real problem -- removing them might help the problem....WHO KNOWS!?!?!?!?!?

Man ur on it more than him
 
Re: Ben Cousins Arrested

maybe so daoula?....but sometimes the biggest risk is to not take one....i dont have the answers and i dont know the guy nor the full extent to what he has done....just playing out a potential scenario.
 
Re: Ben Cousins Arrested

:wave Ben. Looks like he has played his last AFL game. Was reported on 3AW tonight that if the WCE don't act on him then the AFL could fine them by taking away draft picks. Also there is the possibility of the AFL de-registering him. Fonzie and the gang will be watching WCE very very closely.

Could they lose their pick 3?
 
Re: Ben Cousins Arrested

Fonzie's on a plane over to spend the night in jail with Cuz... hold his hand and anything else he needs looking after.

Geez imagine if the blues got their pick 3 back..... :-X
Think they would only lose them and we all move down the ladder - same as the Carlton situation a few years back.
