Carey Leaving North or Cousins' Drug Problem

Which story was bigger?

When Wayne Carey left the North Melbourne Football Club, his departure propelled North closer to Death's Door than ever before. He ripped the heart from the Club and alienated a lot of supporters. Many supporters cried for days knowing that the 'Duck' would never be back as a player. Nobody knew what to do...
15 pages for up to a week covered the scandal in the Herald Sun.

Ben Cousin's drug problem at WCE has been widely documented that the club has known about it for months.
One of the AFL's best players not only ruins his and his club's reputation but also puts a severe dent in his club's premiership chances.
More revelations are surfacing that Cousins in the only Eagle with substance abuse problems.

Which story do you think was bigger and why?

Carey was a champion and destroyed his club in the wake of when he left, what he did

Cousins isnt as bad as sleeping with your best mates wife, then leaving the club

Wayne Careys actions were obviously lower but I think the Cousins issue is bigger based on the fact that it has implications for the entire competition and its future.
