that's what I'm talking about - Chris Judd did it, cause he would miss him and wants him to come to Carlton.

LOL Judd left because of people like Cousins, I honestly believe it had nothing to do with Judd wanting to come back to Victoria, he wanted to get away from knobs like Cousins

Cousins has continually believed he is above the law, hung out with the wrong people and avoided being brought to task over any wrongdoings. Others are to blame for this, not Ben.
But - he's refused to admit to his problems and had others do this for him. He shows no remorse, only a smugness that indicates he's bulletproof.
He has the means, family support and and entire club infrastructure around him to assist with his problems if he wanted to. He appears not to have utilised these.
I feel sorry for adicts and others with problems without any support network - I do not feel sorry for Ben Cousins because he has discraced hes great football abilitys.

He's already 29 and once players get to around the 30 mark clubs usually only give out 1 year contracts to most players becasue serious injury's become alot more likely, if no other club picks him up in this draft no one will in a year or 2.

No one will pick him up!
Hes a risk not only to himself but the Football club he is associated with!
The reputation of the West Coast Eagles is now lower than ever because of him!
if he was to be picked up by some form of a miracle Most Supporters would not renew there memberships!
He Is GONE!

Apparently he's gay, I have a friend who is gay who is close friends with Ben Cousins' cousin and they said that he was gay also the fact that my gay friend has Ben Cousins' number in his mobile is a bit strange. I know it sounds like bull**** but I'm pretty sure it's true and if you need more proof, have you ever seen those pictures of him in the paper wearing like leather drivers caps and singlets...yep 100% homo.

You love them because they're talented at their job, but hate them because of what they do outside.

I am not defending him at all, but if enough people around you tell you that you are great and can't do anything wrong you start to believe it. Famous people are surrounded by yes men all the time. This is what makes a person go off the rails and head down the road to drugs and booze.

How does being around yes men make you lead to drugs and alchohol. Clearly Ben is troubled but also very weak and by the looks of it is trying to impress people? Only he will know who is trying to impress but clearly this is the end to Ben Cousin's career. I hope he enjoyed his time.

It's not just him who takes drugs there are a crap load of afl players who take drugs, so who wouldn't take him into their team. I think west coast are just stupid there are a lot of players in their team taking drugs.

For Ben Cousins to be drafted he has to nominate for the draft & the AFL has to re-register him which the AFL has indicated they wont do until he has cleaned up, at his age if he misses out in the next draft he will never player again.

Obviously you dont read the papers , alot of the clubs have been reported to have said they would doubt they would consider him. Sponsors dont like their clubs getting bad publicity, this is what Cousins would bring to the team. I agree his a gun but a gun with alot of issues.

Ok well we shall agree to disagree Logo but when he doesnt get picked up in the draft you can say I told you so You also seemed to have missed the point about the AFL having to re-register him first before he can be drafted which the AFL boss Andrew Demitriou (I know that aint spelt right but close enough) has said wont happen until he sorts his personal issues out which will not happen before the pre-season draft. He wont be able to get away with going to rehab for only a month like last time, he will need to stay in rehab for a few months to prove to the AFL or any club wanting to draft him that he is clean.

If i could take your money I would give you 100-1 that he plays at A.F.L level ever again!
Mate you have No idea!
He wont get a game with my local club!
His career is finished!
Sure hes still an outstanding Footballer but he obviously has a problem that cannot be fixed simply by changing clubs!
Oh and the rehab.. havnt they tried this twice already?
jeez how many chances do you get?
Career Over.

Maybe you should've waited until he was actually found guilty before you gobbed off and made a thread about it. The drug charges will be dropped and the only one's looking dumb here are the cops who charged him, the West Coast Eagles for sacking him before getting all the facts....oh and you for starting this thread
