Cousins' statement

[Blue and Gold Blood]

He just cant leave the ego at home....try to imagine the type of twit that surveys his cupboard and decides to wear that gay rag to offer an apology. "Yeah looks good on me dont it"

The only person he feels sorry for is himself...musta been a pain in the arse (and a waste of quality ME time) having to prerecord that trash.

Just another drug cheat that was on track to play round one on speed....pointless even speculating whether this has been the norm for years.

I would laugh my arse off if Cousins came back and kicked the winning goal after the siren against your lot. Just for the sake of you slashing your wrists

You can always tell the insecure teenies that wanna look somehow cool and knowledgeable about drugs whilst they squeeze another zit at the mirror.

"Drug cheat" is simply a well used and very apt term used for blokes who choose to take substances BANNED or OUTLAWED within the rules of the game....they do this knowing they arnt permitted.....it has never been important whether the drug cheats have been caught by due process when competing...most get picked up whilst training for events.

When u KNOW the rules but STILL elect to break them (as Cousins did) then u rightfully get called a drug cheat whether u like it or not dumbass.

Only the brain dead would refuse to understand why amphetamines of ALL description have no place in sport.

Nice ad hominem argument...

Yes, lets punish addicts who need help, rather than, umm, helping them.

Only the brain dead would argue that amphetamine abuse would be anything other than a disadvantage on the sporting field.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion from that quote

Not sure anyone has argued differently. Ben is getting help and continues to get help. But part of his conditions of return must be a clean bill of health from the medical facility he attended.

I also find it odd that you would condone his continued abuse of substances rather than punish

 

[FuManchu]

Who cares ,he will be back in 5 weeks tearing a new arse into opposition teams as always, keep whinging Vicos and docker supporters....i cant wait to see Benny back doing what he does best with a point to prove !!!!!

Demetriou says in todays Australian it might be 15 weeks before he is back, how he comes to 15 weeks god knows! Other WA sources are quoted as saying not this year at all

hypocryte

staminade is illegal?

 

[Philhawk]

Love the way Channel 7 presented it.



My fellow Americans, I come to you today with dour news. A meteorite will hit Earth in 1800 hours ...

 

[Bretski]

I think Benny was trying to appeal to teh common person by wearing casual clothes and speaking in a very casual tone, or maybe thats just him

Maybe you should stop doing it, then.

yeah?

so you'd turn a blind eye if horses doped up on amphetamines or other stimulants were allowed to race? or is that somehow different?

amphetamines are banned worldwide in sports because they are performance enhancing. enough said.

I personally couldn't give a flying monkey's what horses do or how they race.

They can be. But someone who is using them as a party drug isn't going to get performance enhancement out of them.

i'd expect an eagles fan to say that.

Only when used "in competition", which for AFL means in your system on game day.

Thats WADA's view and thats why they are not on their prohibited substance list except for in competition tests.

They are the subject of a 2 year ban if used in competition in the AFL.

Methamphetamine users are prone to go on binges, sometimes lasting for up to two weeks, during which time they keep taking the drug and do not eat or sleep.

St Kilda players are known to urinate on females in bars.

Whats your point?

 

[Illinois Nazi]

I'd expect anyone who knows a bit about drug use tp say that.

Which in the light of the following, you clearly are not...

Oh yes, someone doing that would be certain to play an outstanding game of football.

Cousins 'rehab' was nothing more than a PR stunt. His withdrawal would have been one night without sleep and feeling a bit crap the next day. It's a psychological addiction, some counseling and willpower is all his rehab requires. Like a gambling addiction

Actually stuff this, he can come back this year, I'm sick off hearing about it. Give him regular tests and good luck to him. If he slips up again throw the book at him.

 

[Kram]

Eagles should immediately lay down a definitive suspension as Freo did with Farmer, once he serves that start playing again - end of story.

Nah, we want to make sure the problem is solved before he comes back.

Farmer beating people up and losing control through anger appears to be an unsolvable matter hence an indefinite suspension for Farmer (i.e. until the problem is solved) would be in effect a life ban!

Clueless and ignorant board.

It's meth, not marijuana.

 

[Juddlove]

Nobody knows:

1. Whether Cousins will play again
2. Whether he will play for the Eagles
3. Whether it will be this year or next
4. Whether he will ever have "substance abuse" issues again - that is if he is over them already...

Can't we just get over this!??????????

Guess I would not know, after living with /watching a mate and his pals stay up all night every weekend blowing every paypack on Meth for 2 years. His solution? Move to the country and don't hang around old crowd problem solved.

Media are full of cr*p.

It's all in the mind and it's up to Cuzzy boy. Like gambling.

http://www.saintsational.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29853

Lol the thread is about cousins for a start!
and what are you basing the theory of Perth being the "ice capital of Australia"?? two people posts saying ohh i have sources??
How about that Perth has had alot less "ice" seized than Melb Bris Syd and Adelaide, and also that Perth has alot less population?
Lets just ignore the facts and believe what we want hey
