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

just about all of them, particularly those that advised the AFL in the development of their out-of-competition testing policy. recent research has shown that nicotine addiction is particularly based in physiology. rather than a simple stimulation or inhibition of a metabolite receptor or transporter, a profound change occurs thoughout the brain that creates in many cases an instant addict from the first moderate dose of nicotine.
almost everything about drug-taking and drug addiction is medical to an extent (and legal, ethical, economic and social and so-on) from the reasons for use/abuse (psychological) to the physiological and biochemical basis of action, side-effect, potential addiction and withdrawal.then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i knowComment

And when he flaked out on the bench outside Crown Casino, or was that his
3rd chance. Damn I said I wasn't going to comment on him again.
On the term "medical condition"; I spoke to a person last night who has worked in mental health/drug addiction his whole career and his best way of describing such is this:
It is a paradigm in that it is self inflicted by people who know right from the start that it is likely to have harmful long term affects, and it is now, with the enormous research going into it, as best being treated with medicines that are in some cases addictive in themselves.Comment

BFD
I went out this afternoon to a get together at the Flagstaff Gardens.
I'd had a crap day where the kids had driven me nut with their hyperactive full of beans crap and I really needed to relax.
It has been a month since I'd had a drink so I waited for my wife to get home from work and happily asked her if she'd drive both to and from the event.
Normally we have an agreement that we share the driving - me to and her from
Anyway, I had a few drinks on the way in, got pretty happy this afternoon and came home.
I used alcohol as a relaxant of sorts.
As a general rule I'd drink about every 30 days.
In a way I guess I am reliant on alcohol which is a drug.
Happens to be a legal drug so I am well within societies boundaries.
I could go through other times in my life when I was reliant on this drug.
At times I'd be drinking 4 nights a week for a year or so.
My brother has a couple of beer every night.
Guess that makes him an alcoholic of sorts.
A bloke I used to be very close to through high school decided to get right into dope after school.
Through recent contact 15 years later on Facebook it seems he still is a bit of a doper.
We have little in common, but I don't hate what he does, even if I don't agree with it.
Cousins did drugs, and as far as I'm concerned, he deserves all the praise in the world for the efforts he has made in making his life 'better'
We'll always have the 'budgie haters' or whatever they call the West Coast players, and because of our recent history there will always be the haters who do so just because of the 96 GF loss.
I don't understand how people are so able to disregard the human factor and just rest on the whole 'opposition piece of crap' line and hate for hates sake.
To be honest the sentiment on this whole thread makes me sad.
I understand the not wanting Cousins at the Swans. I get his age and his injury record etc, and those who have presented their fair and 'football' POV are all within reason.
But then you have the condemners.
Annie springs to mind, and it may be unfair to name names, but she just seems so hateful for the sake of hating a WC player that her opinion seems a waste of time.
With so much misery in the world, it seems really really sad to slam Cousins down when he has done everything anyone could expect of him to rectify his problem. As far as I am concerned, people in the public spotlight like this should be applauded for not only setting a standard of rehabilitation for others to follow, but also for completely fulfilling their 'role as a role mode' and correcting their mistakes.
What better role model is there than one who admits his mistakes and corrects them?
These are the 'non football' reasons I'd have had him at the Swans.
The football reasons as I have said are worth the risk.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Except for that I wasn't having a go at Annie necessarily, but as those who appear to just be anti for the sake of being anti about an opposition player.The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

ANYONE who admits or is tested positive for taking drugs in sport should be banned for life.
I'm just lucky I guess that I'm able to revel in the fact that it is the little turd cousins that I'm able to drag through the mud.
If it were Goodesy I would have committed suicide a long time ago!!

- 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.
