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

...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!?!?!?!?!?
Oh yeah.... he could hook up with his old mate Gardiner. While he's at it, him & Didak could head to the strippers & catch up with some of Ben's old bikie mates. 8ball, I agree Cousins is a super footballer, but he would bring too much trouble to the club & it's young players.

Think they would only lose them and we all move down the ladder - same as the Carlton situation a few years back.
Yep that will happen. Might be a blessing for the Cotchin family ;D
 
Re: Ben Cousins Arrested

Have we heard from Demetriou yet?

I imagine the :spin doctors are earning their money down at AFL headquarters.

Will the AFL see this as a first strike, second strike, third strike?

Will they cut him loose after all their promises to help those in need?

Lots of scrutiny on the AFLs drug policy after this I imagine.

Adolf is probably on the phone with Little Johnny for some advice on how to spin.

I don't know if anyone has ever listened to 6PR(first time for me) but it's talk back radio with Barich and hardie is bizzare.

Everyone who rings in either blames all this on the Eastern media,Ben 'going through a hard time',society or some various other conspiracy against Ben or the Eagles.

Everyone should get off his back. Name and Shame doesn't work. He needs all the councelling and help he can get.
Correct.
He obviously has issues. He cant just be hung out. He needs to be put through long rehab.

Should the AFL just let him go and wind up over doseing? Or should they take responsibility and make sure he is drug free, even if that means funding a 2-3 year drug rehab program. Because those few months in Malibu didnt do *smile*.

The such is life tatoo is just a posers thing. He purposely showed it off in the final against port and anywhere he goes now I bet.

Is this a possible scenario? The Cotchins go to the AFL and outrightly demand that Trent go to the Rookie Draft and not the ND due to the fact that West Coast will draft him with their first pick. We pick up Morton with our 2 in the ND and Cotchin with our first rookie pick.
 
Re: Ben Cousins Arrested

So Guys and Gals.Any football news while i.ve been at work? ;D
 
Re: Ben Cousins Arrested

I think he's been given every opportunity to get clean. As far as I'm aware, no-one forced him to come back from rehab so quickly (I may be wrong). If he was really worried about relapsing, he'd have stayed there.

Alternatively, he was given the chance to come back and immerse himself in his football. He should have had beelines from home, to training and to games with no straying.

Clearly he's chosen not to take either opportunity.
