Does ANYONE associated with the AFL have kids? What kind of message to kids does it send that someone gets addicted to ICE, does 6 or so weeks in rehab then comes back and NOTHING has changed. Not only that they are lauded as all the more a hero for 'beating' it. My 15 year old mates talk together and say it must be bull@@@@ that ICE is not really that bad and if you do get hooked it is really easy to get off. I am really disgusted with all the AFL and journos who say what a great guy he is.

Benny is back in Oz tomorrow and the AFL said today that he has to have regular drug tests, and has to apologize publicly.The AFL has also given WC an ultimatum that if any player stuffs up again they will be fined and could(what a joke)face loosing points.Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

I am no doctor but playing footy might be the best rehilabation he can get.
Surely doing some out patient treatment in conjunction with having something like footy to focus on and prepare for has got to be healthier and more beneficial than spending your whole time at a rehab facility with nothing to do or concentrate on.
Footy at any level be it WAFL or AFL may be exacxtly what he needs.Comment

Cousins hasn't been reinstated in the WC team yet nor has he finished his rehabilitation.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Well after the Sunday love in with the AFL and the WC hollow apology to the footy nation - it still shows that the AFL are gutless.
I dont care which club it is (and yes ours included), a situation like this should not be just swept under the carpet. WC have had it too good for too long and even after all the off field goings on, they still only get a "dont do that again or we COULD deduct some points, or inflict a fine "etc.
I had high hopes of Mike Fitzpatrick (he's far more intelligent that the fat controller) making the hard decision and giving the West Coast what they really deserved - the deduction of premiership points now - that would hurt them the most. Wouldnt it have been a show of strength, leadership and show the world they mean business when it comes to situations like this?
As for Cousins, you can only hope that he gets over his addiction, but at the same time, I reckon he should sit out the rest of the year - only a lengthy period of time away from the game he loves so dearly (apparently) will make him fully realise what he has done to himself, his family and his club. 4-6 weeks isn't enough - thats just a bit of a blip on lifes radar.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

A deduction of premiership points seems rather over the top.
The existing three strike drug policy is for suspensions of 6-12 weeks, so I think it should be in line with that.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

It may be , too you , over the top, but it would send out a pretty good warning to the footy world. The NRL took all of Canterbury Bankstowns points for breaching the salary cap and other misdemeanors - I didnt say all points should be deducted, but I reckon at least 8-12 - equivalent of 3 games and I guess the three strikes.
As for the drug deal - the 6-12 week suspension is too lenient.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

Good, about time - but Fitzpatrick is a better player in the business world than Andy boy will ever be. The fact is that they still let WC get away with it - it hasnt effected the bottom line, nor their premiership points - the whole love in meeting seemed futile.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

I thought Demetriou was a pain on OtC - played it just like a politician.
As for premiership points, I don't think this is the same as a major salary cap breach.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted.
