WGAF?

really i dont see the issue, unless he has torn his hamstring again

I know it's a dead issue amongst Pie fans just thought it was a laugh how long it's taken for the first F...UP from benny bender.

I would wait for a club statement before jumping to conclusions and or relying on reporters

My bad. Cousins supposedly on a modified training program. The way ch9 originaly reported it was as if benny hadn't turned up.

My mate saw him today and said he was absolutely buggered.

Without being rude here, I hate it when the news beats up the whole story on any sports people. They should just get their facts straight and stop talking out of their rears

Pendles and Thomas missed for us this morning.

Back on wednesday given two days etxra time off due to the IR games

He missed it due to fitness not due to anything news worthy.

Agreed.

I guy i used to play footy with is now one of the conditioning coaches at richmond. He told me at the gym last week that cousins had a very minor relapse three weeks ago. He wouldnt elaborate as to what a "minor relapse" was but he said that it is a constant struggle for cousins to stay clean. He did however praise his fitness levels(after such a long lay off) and said he seems like a very decent bloke.

why was this posted on the collingwood forum???

I see things are pretty quiet on the newsfront down at the Lexus centre.

 

[Kyusss]

trained the full session, is on a modified program no need for the champ to run the tan

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Who cares if he misses one little ran around the tan? You wouldn't expect him to be in every training session after missing a year of footy.

 

[Pie eyed]

We risk looking like sore losers if we jump on every little rumor surrounding Cousins.
I wish him and Richmond the best, god knows both have had bad runs lately.

 

[warney7]

I guess it's also worthy mentioning that he appeared to be fit and happy despite not completing the time-trial.

Taking the fact that it was probably a scheduled absence from training as another poster had mentioned, this was one of the reasons I was worried about us taking Cousins and I was all for it.

The pressure and coverage that will be associated with him and the club every time he misses training, whether it was pre-arranged or not, is just unnecessary.

Locked for three reasons:

1) This isn't news.

2) This isn't Collingwood related.

3) I'm setting an example right now that this board will not be home to a new thread every time uses five squares of toilet paper instead of four. He is a Richmond player - Unless the news specifically relates to Collingwood in some new fashion, then it will be locked, and a warning will be issued.

There are AFL General and Richmond boards to discuss Ben Cousins if you really just can't stop thinking about him.
