      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."
      Sad days, indeed.

      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

          Family issues, are girlfriend issues.
          Chick and Embley came to blows over the issue.
          Chick missed the training session as well, but apparently is an innocent bystander.

              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.

                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.

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.
                    hahahaha this is a sarcastic post..right?

                    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!!

                          I was going to post similar sentiments, but you've worded it perfectly.

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

                            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?
                            That's a great point.
                            Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                              I didn't say it wasn't his fault - just that gloating over someone else's misfortune when you know pretty much nothing of them and they've done nothing to you is rather ordinary.

                              Pfft you call yourselfs supporters???
                              Yeah - I am a supporter - I support the Swans.

                              WCE are our new enemy..you going to email the club and get them to send some scones and a box of choclates and a "all is well" card as well??

                              Clueless! It's an on-field rivalry. It's about football.

                                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 downfall
