If you want to talk about Ben Cousins, post it here (mega merged thread)

Never happen.

He's clutching .... every recovering junkie needs something to look forward to.

[ScottH]

Looks like it won't happen next year anyway.

AFL could act on Cousins

THE AFL is looking at charging Ben Cousins with bringing the game into disrepute in a move that would almost certainly result in the drug-addicted 2005 Brownlow medallist being banned from playing football next season.

Do you ever post on anything else anymore? You have become very tedious.

I think it's called "taking the piss" and he has done quite well at it obviously

[Claret]

You're having us on, right?

That's the story/angle that Channel 10 ran with.

Not sure how much credence you'd give it though.

i'd have him -
everyone knows that sydney has a good club culture

And the Emerald city has an excellent party (drugs) culture as well.
So it would be a perfect fit..........not !

I'm sure he'd get acquainted to Kings Cross very well.

"There was speculation the Tigers would look at placing Cousins on the long-term injury list for 2008 with a view to playing him in 2009."

This is how it would need to be done.

[reigning premier]

"Quite well" would normally mean that it was witty and cutting - Chow Chicker's posts have been neither - they're just repetitive drivel.

It could be reasonabley argued that the ongoing defence of Cousins and the arguments over what he is owed are also repetitive drivel....

They haven't been "witty" or "cutting" either.....

[ROK Lobster]

I would like to go on the record as saying that I offer no apology for Cousins, that I feel some sympathy for him, that my impression is that he is a bit of dickhead, I would take him at Sydney, and that I think that the WCE owe him, amongst other things, a common law duty of care despite the termination of their employment relationship.

[Pace To Burn]

I dont see a problem with him coming back once his issues are sorted out. He needs at least a year off footy to do that. If West Coast had made that happen in the first place instead of rushing him back to try to win another premiership before Judd left it might have made a differance. Anyone in their right mind knows that it would take alot longer than 16 weeks for someone who has obviously had a problem with this type of thing for quite some time to get their head right, but all they gave a **** about was winning a flag. I say if he gets himself right his still got 2-3 years left in him, there's not many blokes running around who can single handed win a game for their side like him

taking the piss of particular readers and getting bites off them is doing quite well in my books

[swantastic]

Good on ya CC thats the best thing ive heard all day.

the Swans were adamant yesterday they would never throw Cousins a lifeline.

BTW:Never say never.

[JF_Bay22_SCG]

I'd take him.

As long as he dropped the attitude & immature arrogance, so would I?

The thing is not many people would actually know who he is in Sydney. That might actually be a good thing for him.

Kings Cross might on the other hand be a bad bad thing for him.

Let's face it; he'd kick in in our midfield of plodders!
