    Oh no if so and so and Co gets their way. I might be on the outer soon. I think i might stick to defending a west coast druggie and putting dirt on our coach and players - yeah i think they might like that eh!

      Imagine the sympathy he would get if he threatened to beat up a fan!

        I don't think it's soft, I think it has more to do with the differing levels of passion amongst different groups of supporters. I dunno, maybe it's coz I'm a fairly recent supporter, but I just can't muster that kind of blind, irrational hatred towards opposition clubs, even the Eagles! I tend to see rivalries as more of an on-field thing...obviously I dislike certain clubs and players (wouldn't be human otherwise) but apart from maybe wanting to slap the smug look off Cousins' face (thanks Sanecow!), I don't really take any pleasure from it, and I don't see that as taking the moral high ground at all. Everyone's entitled to support the club however they please.

          I feel sorry for Cousins, but not for the club, who failed to look after him properly, when he needed their guidance most.

          This is really, really sad.
          FFS he's 28yrs old and if he cant look after him self by now he,s a idiot.He,s been in footy for nearly 10 years and i have no sympathy for him or any one else who messes up their own life through stupid decisions.All these people who say its the clubs responsibility,he did those stupid things out side of the club confines so he is ultimately responsible.

            Yeah but we are living in a society where people don't accept responsibility for their actions. When you have people like those who have posted in this thread its a wonder why.

            As you stated he was old enough and he plays in one of the best comps in the world and gets paid a princely sum for it. Why should we sympathise for him if he went out and took drugs knowing all too well what the consequences where and knowing too well it will stuff his career and the AFL brand!?

            I am more concerned at what his influence has had on a rookie at the club. Imagine an impressionable 18 year old watching Cousins of his chops and what this rookie would be thinking.

            They are the ones who we should be thinking about, not a known headacse like cousins and especially not one from the WCE.

            Get some perspective people.

              I have perspective. Cousins won't be playing on 31 March.

                Now, now Demsone, don't be like that. Not all of us are soft.
                Most of us are very passionate.
                Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                  Stellation has been playing over at BF (Page 47 - 692 posts in [it's 1000+ now] ... you can tell that the "people" are just itching for some real footy). I just had to share.

                  Oooohhhh, 690+ posts in and I think I have an unused gag!

                  I hear that the Ben will now be playing in the SANFL next year, at least the Tasmanians still love Cousins!

                  BAM!

                            You should be thankful you are posting here at all, and not stuck on just BF.

                              My response was in reply to your statement about professionalism not about pay cheques. Kouta isnt on that great an amount anymore but when he was signed to his previous contract he was the best in the competition. Injuries have cut him down and reduced his mobility but if you want to see how good he really was look at the 99 prelim final, it we we awhile before we see anyone take a game by its balls like that again.

                              Cousin's isnt professional becuase if he was he wouldnt constantly get into the state he does. Imagine how good he would be if he was really dedicated.

                                Off topic I know, but I still do smile when I think about Buckley leaving Brisbane in 98 because apparently, he wanted to play in a premiership team...
