Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

what the hell is going on there in perth, sounds like its a party town. i might move there
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

the bloke's clearly let his head get bigger than the game, but everyone deserves a second chance. let's hope he comes to his senses and enters rehab, or AA, or counselling, or comes to faith in God or whatever is needed for whatever problems he has (speculation is all we have atm).
i reckon aussies are quick to forgive their sports stars, if and when that star admits he/she has done the wrong thing and wants to make it right.

I reckon there's a great TISM song in all this
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Gooding doesn't know why Cousins missed training.

Hasn't he just come a gutser with bullshitting about what he knows and doesn't know?

Maybe Gooding will be the casualty.
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

TW is soft, he just disciplined Richie Tambling by not playing in the seniors against Melbourne.

Woosha is one mean coach.
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Back in the day, when I was playing footy and skipping training, I wouldn't have taken too kindly to anyone from the committee rocking up at my house either!

I suspect that in Benny’s case it wasn’t a first offence and the reason for missing training has much less forgivable than Bling’s.
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Makes a mockery of all their denials doesn't it. Heard Peter Wilson on the tranny the other day denying that there were any problems at WC.

He was responding to the Andrew Rule article and he said, 'Who is Andrew Rule, I haven't heard of him until today.'

The interviewer said, 'Oh he is just a Walkley Award winning journo.'

Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

B1 and B2 endorse Ben Cousins move to our half forward line.
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

I don't think this has a lot to do with missing a training session..
In using tough language such as this, one feels this may be the straw that broke the camel's back.

Gooding said the suspension could last for up to a year, depending on when Cousins was ready to overcome his issues and play football again.

"It will depend entirely on when we believe Ben is an appropriate condition to come back to the club once he has overcome his private and personal issues," Gooding said.

"That may be weeks, it may be months, it may be a year.
"

Fallen star is right.
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

yep Tooheys, I saw that as the key comment too.

Anyway,Krakouer for Benny.Who's with me?
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Yeah, give em Krak and toss in Tivva and Gas as the sweetner!
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Poor old ben, seems like he's got some real problems. Can't see him changing. My tigersnake senses tell me the Judd camp will be contemplating an exit from a culture that seems rotten to the core. Wonder when his contract is up.

At the end of this season. Was thinking along the same lines myself ts. Wouldn't be encouraging my son to hang around over there.
