Fastest man in the AFL

[Old Royboy]

They've been discussing this on Big Footy, but after reading this I don't think there is much argument.

Be interesting to have heard the passengers explanation

[Lucky Knickers]

The seat was pushed way forward so they?ve ruled out gardner as the driver?

More on the moron

Cousins told officers when questioned this morning that he was driving the Mercedes-Benz four-wheel drive along Canning Highway in Applecross before abandoning it and fleeing the scene with another man, who has not been identified.

...

Assistant Police Commissioner John McRoberts says no charges have been laid at this stage.

"I'm also told that the following morning after the vehicle had been towed away to a holding yard, Mr Cousins presented with the keys to that car and recovered it after paying the towage fees," he said.

"And I think it's now for you to ask Mr Cousins why on earth he would run away from a booze bus."

He shouldn't be too concerned ... they tend to go somewhat easier on professional sportsmen than the average joe in such cases!

While the constabulary are investigating this mystery they might investigate his other great disappearance in the last quarter of the grand final

LOL...no ticker

Probably setting myself up for some abuse here, but Cousins contract comes up for renewal end of 2006 - does the Barham Rule exclude him from being a possible Swans signing?

If I were Ben, I would seriously be considering a move to an environment with a tad less scrutiny than Perth & where my organised crime contacts weren't quite so visible. [He might be able to get his driving licence back here too.]

From Swans' perspective, he's the sort of class midfielder we'd love to have - and he's only 27, about the same age as BBBH was when he joined us. A nice Willo replacement you'd think.

Just a thought in any event...

Are you Ron Josephs?

Wasn't Barry Hall more like 25 than 27 when he joined us? And Ben Cousins will be 28....those three years make a big difference.

[Lucky Knickers]

At 27 I'd expect that his d*ckhead-edness was well and truly entrenched. I don't think BBBH had any sort of off-field reputation. Was purely known as bad boy on. Happily be corrected on this but living in Melbourne before he came to sydney I don't recall his name in the paper. Same with Lockett (I'm not counting crutches at journalists).

I'd prefer not to have a player that was friends with the underworld, punched up team mates, and did a runner to avoid going DUI.

He's a great player but I don't think he's worth the trouble he brings to a club. WCE have given him a LOT of rope.

Meh.

I would imagine that it does.

IIRC Plugger was in trouble something to do with his greyhounds. Also I was speaking with his auntie a few years ago, and she said he was nothing more than a thug before he came to Sydney, which incidentally coincided with him becoming a father. I think the combination of the two, (moving to Sydney and becoming a dad) were a good influence on him.

Thanks for your feedback....aren't all three of these incidents matters of public record. I believe that Cuzz was disciplined on the first two and will be on this latest episode. More than happy to be corrected if what I've stated is not indeed true.

Doesn't change my opinion - he's a d*ckhead and I'd prefer he didn't play for the Swans.
