[tugga]

Hpefully On the Couch might have an update. I will keep you posted, although I am sure most are watching it anyway.

Get well soon Benny.

They're not saying much. Healy said that Cuz was fine last night and wanted Andy Collins recognised for his efforts.

 

[ata33cro]

Few people on twitter saying Ben passed away, said it was on the radio.

Any confirmation, or just rumour? Hope it's not true.

omg what an awful thing to say.

I encourage all supporters to go visit this page and let the HUN know how pathetic they are for putting up this 'story' and trying to link Cousins latest health issues with all his other issues. Nothing but gutter journalism.

I have it on credible source (friend's dad runs the ward Benny is staying in) that Ben is awake and the player's are visiting him. So hopefully he'll be right.

cheers hope so, all the best Benny

 

[roostersgal4eva]

like I said Bo i hope he's right but they said it would be 24-48hrs before we knew anything so who knows

@ Ruthless Tiger

done...

This artical is lower than a snakes body - the guy is in intesive care right now and you have the hyde of a Rhino publishing this gutter journalism. Even if it is linked it should matter - his health is the only concern any decent human being. Shame Herald Sun! Shame!

Small but effective I think

 

[lionaround]

All the best for Ben I hope he's doing ok, I really gained alot of respect for Ben this year after seeing his interview on "On the Couch" and think that despite his colorful history, can be a real mentor and role model for your younger kids coming through.

They said on one week at a time that he is now in and enduced coma.
I hope this is purely a precautionary measure.

Their timeline skips from his debut game for Richmond all the way to today. Real useful and informative journalism there.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Here's hoping for some good news real soon. Cheers Benny

It would be awesome to see him back next week. I've enjoyed watching him play the past month, and the young players look up to him.

Re: Cousins in intensive care???

Best wishes to Ben for a prompt recovery. Thoughts to his family and friends and those supporting him through the Richmond Footy Club.

Latest update: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/a...back-in-hospital/story-e6frf9jf-1225888005432

Its believed that a combination of caffiene tablets, red wine and the sleeping pill/s contributed to the collapse. Club is hoping to question Ben in the next day or so. No mention about whether he has been placed into an induced coma.

What was reported is the doctors hope that his condition will improve rapidly and that he is a solid chance of returning to the field within weeks. Sounding a lot more positive thatn earlier on. Heres hoping its accurate.

lets hope but this is hearldsun remember....dont trust it till its all over the news

 

[Grechy]

**** you Hutchy!!

 

[roostersgal4eva]

What did the pond scum say now grech?

I dont watch footy classified but my mate on msn does and they said that they want to wane him off sedation in a few hrs

 

[thecotch]

hutchy is scum. Piece of sh1t journalist.

 

[strav]

In all seriousness, someone needs to kick Crutchy in the nuts. Poor excuse for a journalist.

 

[Grechy]

Said that Cuz will always be a drug addict no matter what. Kudos to Dermie for defending Cousins.

Can't stand that fat, bald w***er. Constanly referring to Drug addict Cousins, disputed with Dermott (Filling in for Garry Lyon) that you can not be a reformed drug addict, once a drug addict always a drug addict. Ben will always face battles with addiction, but as Dermott pointed out has been clean for a while and not using drugs. So not actively a drug addict.
Two seasons by my watch, he is the only player in the league, to my knowledge, that is tested 3-4 times a week. So we at least know he has been clean for his time at Richmond, as he is on league based zero tolerance.
That fat bastard Hutchy, is trying to be controversial and make a name and headline for himself for his rubbish journalism. Too his credit Dermott, who I don't like either, just said he would have to agree to disagree as Hutchy wanted to go on with it.

 

[RW]

Wow. Something always seems to happen when Cousins plays against the Swans. I hope he's OK. Trust the media to blow things out of proportion.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Well Hutchy once a peice of scum always a peice of scum
