Hutchy just reported on 9 Punch up with Chick an Embley
The reason?
They said that Cousins has been living with Chick (aka *smile*knuckle). So the punch up is being reported as being over the Cousins issue.

West Coast chairman just confirmed on SEN the altercation & that it was over Cousins.
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Delta Goodrem just confirmed the punch happened and was over Cousins and a domestic issue. Maybe Benny legged it to the comfort of Embley's goldfish, thus causing tension.
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Surely this has to be most impressive premiership hangover of all time.

Prescription drugs scandals,flatlining,former captains asked to stay away from the club indefinately,teammates punching on....

they party hard in Perth.
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Apparently Ricky Nixon said tonight that senior WC players had raised concerns over 'issues' with players around the club 5 years ago. Management at WC failed to address the issue back then, now they are copping it.

Not much else to do over there. ;D

I wish this was happening to Colingwood, except for the reigning premiers bit.

Ha! Incidently Bucks has his own worries at the moment, he'll be struggling for Round 1, something like another hammy.
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

I think it was Hutchy who said 5-6 weeks for Bucks. Good for us we play 'em in Round 3!

Been a quiet news day today hasn't it?
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Not sure about that Skip, I don't know why but I like to boo Buckley on occasion. That and the rest of the players might get a bit more ball without him in the team, could work against us.

:headscratch perhaps!

Funny you should mention that, as this seems the most spectacular Premiership hangover since the Pies in 1991.
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Interesting thread but don't write Cousins off just yet.

Young people recover from amphetamine addiction all the time.

I would seriously doubt though that he can get his game together in Perth as even if he does stay clear he will be returning to an organization that hasn't been able to contol the problem in the past and quite evidently has similar ongoing issues with the likes of Fletcher and Kerr.

By the way this has gone though with WC suddenly and unusually taking a firm line, and with Cousins having been drug tested only yesterday, it seems likely to me that Cousins is one of the several on two strikes anyway and that WC are anticipating another positive result and a lengthy disqualification. In other words nothing to lose.

Adding it all up I reckon Cousins may have played his last game for the West Coast.If so Ben will be looking for a new home, probably in Melb next year. If I am right then any Melb Club that doesn't look at taking him on would be mad.
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Caroline Wilson mentioned the 'D' word on many occassions tonight on 3AW.

They even went deeper and tried to describe what sort of 'sssnnnnniffffff' could of been used.

That’s crazy stuff by CW, unless she has some anecdotal evidence to support her claims she will find herself in deep water, yes it has been suggested that with the break up of his girlfriend he has hit the skids and been on the booze and some other stuff, fairy floss i hear....It doesn't matter how much money u got everyone has problems and its how u deal with it, hopefully for his sake he gets back on track cause if he doesn’t he may well drag his family down with him.
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Much more to come on this one.
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

Perhaps this might sound silly but ill say it anyway, could another reason for Judd's decision to hold off talks on his contract be linked to all this stuff going on at the eagles, he is privy to all the going ons and who knows what’s going through his mind, maybe he has spoken to his family over the last few months about all the crap which is going on.
 
Re: Ben Cousins in trouble again

That doesn't sound silly at all AT.

If that's the case it's another clear case for free agency.
