Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]
Bingo Red,
Leysys thoughts have been along the exact same lines.
They knew a circus would be created by the way they pulled him over & it would be enough to end his footy career (certainly at the eagles). Objective reached.

Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]
Well, there you go. If that's true then as I've been saying the last few days the pure legal power of this is as light as a feather - apart from the refusing to take a drug test which in itself will probably only result in a hefty fine and suspension of licence I'd imagine.
If it wasnt for his age, if he went back into a successful rehab period of 12 months or so, he'd be a good chance to be back playing AFL footy at some other club thereafter I reckon. Unfortunately, age is gonna preclude that from happening.

Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]
The guy has thumbed his nose at police in WA repeatedly.
Hangs in very bad company.
The triathlon and the hiding out after that.
The refusal to answer questions about phone calls on the night of a shooting in a nightclub.
The police in WA would be ropeable as they have no doubt spoken to the club a few times. The club was seemingly incapable of getting Cousins in order and now after the death of Mainwaring the time has come to show who's the boss.
Cousins has seemingly never been told no.
The police have now put him on notice.
I would think that the refusal to take a test would be the more serious charge.
The club should be sanctioned for this.
They would have been told repeatedly about the behaviour of the players and their refusal to rein the players in would not sit well with the police, who like to think they run things in WA.
Heads will roll at the club because sponsors will not be happy. The facade will crumble.
For John Worsfold to say he knew nothing is beyond comprehension. He was a chemist for Gods sake.
Is he deaf, dumb and blind?

Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]
For those who are debating about whether Ben ahould be called an addict or not should read this article, It quotes the professor involved in the clinic Ben attended and talks about the effects of ice and how it will enhance an athletes performance. Pity the AFL didn't consult with him before allowing him to play again. Some people seem to fail to understand that Ice is one of the most addictive drugs in the world at the moment and this is why everyone has been so concerned about its recent emergence on the Australian scene.
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22610995-662,00.html
The article mentions that Cousins and Chick were seen to meet another man in a park 20 minutes before they were arrested. Clearly they were under surveillance for sometime and I'd say the police suspected a deal had taken place. Dare I say it, but he has probably been under very close scrutinee since Mainwarrings death.
Apparently him and Chick had been on a 4 day bender after Mainwarrings death.
If the charges are dropped next week as expected it will be very hard for the AFL to deny him permission to play next year if he wants to.

Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]
I would take Benny in the psd, as long as the doctors clear him. Im sick of being on the bottom all the time and would like to win, he could help us do that.
Downside the AFL will make Richmond sign a contract like the Westcoast Eagles did and if he stuffs up we could lose draft picks.

I bet you $10 he doesn't have a problem - excuse me - I'm off the chair the next Gambler's Anon meeting ;D
Fair dinkum - if you're on it, it's mind altering so why would we believe anything that' offered up as fact

Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]
I really don't see much in this charge. I get the impression that all the hero worship has gone to his head and Cousins is like a recalcitrant little boy who delights in refusing to do as he is told.
It wouldn't surprise me if the fine for such and offense is less than the $900 for running away from a booze bus!

Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]
Hah hah hah hah....oh geez...if that's true then evo we havent heard the last of this. Only thing is, this time it will be Cousins and his lawyer sticking the boots into the cops (and possibly WCE too !)
What odds Cousins plays AFL football again ? Not as long as they were 2 days ago I'll bet !
