Why on earth do so many keep making excuses for this tool? "Bottom feeding journalism", "more media lies" etc, etc.
Ben Cousins is a DRUG ADDICT who's stupid, arrogant and selfish behavior is now irrefutable, yet still it's the media's fault and not Ben's.
Perhaps if more people had taken him to task earlier and not made excuses for him, he wouldn't be in the mess he's in now.
The latest revelations prove that all the "media lies" of the other week were actually true and that Cousins father covered for him when the proverbial hit the fan.Comment

Whoo hoo. Ah the value of hindsight, eh? I'm glad that I believe that where there is smoke, there is indeed fire.I think the budgie criminals have fallen down in their duty of care towards disgraced ex-west coast eagles fallen star ben cousins.
They should have sent Dalton with him to hold his hand and make sure he got to the rehab centre in one piece.
Maybe he just went on one last bender.

They still can, he's on their list until after the draft so that his payments come of out next years' cap instead of this years cap. Theo Andrew should grow a pair.He's still on their list. He hasn't been removed yet.
The AFL can still put sanctions on the club.

I don't know whether I should feel very sorry for his father anymore. IMO he is enabling disgraced ex-west coast eagles fallen star ben cousins by making excuses for him.Why should I feel for his family ... he obviously doesn't!!
I do feel sorry for his parents ... I think they've been through enough.
Sure Bryan ... the "appropriate facility" was a "hospital" cause your son had been on a bender."He is currently receiving treatment in Los Angeles at an appropriate facility, and he will be attending The Summit Medical Centre in the next few days," Mr Cousins said."
Really?????BY HAMMO ... My prediction is that Cousins has out-smarted the media and most of the contributors to this thread (Wardy & GS14 aside).Last edited by AnnieH; 9 November 2007, 10:54 PM.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

On the ch10 sports news, the new chairman is saying to the press how their doing an investigation into their culture and how they have lost all the respect they had after they won the premiership and then mentioned respect and self-respect and respect some more.
The players were standing "in formation" in shorts and t-shirts. Would it have killed them to put on suits? I don't know ... maybe looked a bit respectable??

I'm telling ya ... I just love hindsight.You know I like to believe that where there's smoke, there's fire.
Isn't the Summit Centre a rehab facility?
We're being led to believe that he's already at one "rehab facility", and will be moving to the Summit Centre.
It sounds to me like he's having a "little holiday" before entering the Summit Centre. If that's the case ... just say so. It'll shut everyone up (probably including me, but I doubt it).

Yep.We don't know whether they're true or not!
You can choose to take Bryan Cousins' word on where his son is.
Personally, I believe he has no idea where his son is, and is covering up as best he can.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

The guy is heading for an early grave. I hope he wakes up to himself and snaps out of it. But he seems to be spiraling into deep, deep @@@@.
No more apologists please. He has worn out any shred of sympathy I might have had left. Drugs are bad @@@@, and anyone who defends it, excuses it, or allows such behaviour to occur or continue to occur can get stuffed.Comment

Fantastic article from the Australian from 3 November.
Cousins hit with heaviest blow.
It seems that the reason that disgraced ex-west coast eagles fallen star ben cousins is still on the books at the budgie criminals is because the AFL told them to.
The AFL can't fine DEWCEFSBC for bringing the game into disrepute if he is not listed.
Seriously ... can it get worse?Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

- 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.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. 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. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.

b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
You are a guest on RWO - You are expected to play by the rules of the house.
