ROK, today's events have just pumped me up more. I revel in the crap that happens over at West Coast. They have no ethos and culture ... it shows.
I don't see how you can compare OUR team/players with theirs. They either get away with a lot more crap over there, or our media department are genius. Davo said he felt like a scapegoat, so they made an example of him. It went against our ethos and culture for Davis to say that. A swannie would be heavily dealt with had he run from a booze bus or broke another players arm, etc., etc., etc.
Here's the latest article from the West Australian. Gooding says that"We believe he's breached his contract because he's acted unprofessionally. That's why he's been suspended. "I think it's a sad day."

Don't get me wrong players from Sydney have been involved in off field incidents that have come into the spotlight, but nothing to the extent to which the illegals seem to be imploding.Premiers 09,18,33,05

I know some people here hate WCE to the point of gloating, which I can't really understand. I think Cousins has got issues, but the club is also responsible for his situation. Youngsters who get lots of money are usually prone to get into trouble if they're not properly supervised.
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.Comment

I really cannot see how anyone can find pleasure in this news, at any level. It (the news) is just sad. If it was Goodes or Kirk I would hope that other club's supporters felt sympathy rather than took delight in the misfortune of another. He is someone's son, someone's boyfriend, plenty of people's friend, and obviously struggling to keep his life in some sort of order.
The club seems to be in a mess and I cannot see how that is a good thing either. It does nothing for the rivarly between the club's that has been building the last few years, and does nothing at all for the code generally.
That so many here have gloated over this, and seem to take pleasure from a very sad turn of events, reflects badly on us all as fans, and as people, and I think reflects badly on us a club.
I do not want to condone anything that he may or may not have done, or apologise for, or make excuses for Cousins. I just don't get any pleasure at all from the fact that this has happened.
I have no sympathy for people who take ICE let alone a west coast eagle player who is a headcase.
hahaha you sure come up with some rippers! Great troll!!Last edited by Demsone; 20 March 2007, 06:01 PM.Comment

People gloating over others' misfortune is lamentable. If he was my son, I'd be worried sick about him.Comment

Pretty clear that West Coast have learnt little from their catalogue of player hiccups. By not telling the full story they've given every jerk with an internet connection an opportunity to make up whatever bollocks their vivid imaginations can conjure. Why put Cousins thru that? Why not just tell the full story to start with?Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

If the tests are positive, and that is the reason for his idefinite suspension then I congratulate WCE for finally acting. He does deserve his punishment, and deserves to be disgraced.....much like Gary Ablett Snr. But I don't believe we should take "joy" in his downfallComment
