Re: Cousins statement - best ever i have heard
He was never going to say much.
The whole situation is sad. He is a sad little ego maniac. i feel pity for him.
He may never recover.

It was a nice read from an auto cue which was prepared by lawyers. Basically Cousins said nothing and was an arrogant puppet with a cheesy grin on his face. Inside he does not beleive he has done anything wrong. Shouldn' t be allowed near an AFL ground until he actually acknowledges (honestly) what he has done. It seems that everything the WCE do is a joke

West Coast are handling the situation like a great professional club should - calmly and rationally. Cousins is suspended indefinitely and continues to be.
Hope you squirt it in your eye and go blind. What a ridiculous post.
Amazing you know exactly whats inside his head.
Whatever he said you guys would codemn him - and he was setup by the AFL so that it was impossible to 'admit everything', even if he wanted to (which admittedly he probably didn't - and who would?).
Did you honestly expect anything else? And it would be exactly the same for any player in the league from any club.

Re: Cousins statement - best ever i have heard
FULL TRANSCRIPT OF BEN COUSINS' STATEMENT:
As you are aware I have been at an overseas rehabilitation centre for the past month undergoing treatment for a number of personal issues, including illness as the result of substance use.
My treatment is an ongoing process, and I have many challenges ahead of me that I need to overcome as part of my recovery to full health.
I will continue my treatment in Perth as an outpatient for at least the next four weeks. Part of that treatment will require me from time to time to leave Perth. I will act on the advice of my medical support team.
I look at this very positively and recognise that I have been privileged to have been given this opportunity.
I apologise to the West Coast Eagles Football Club, sponsors, the AFL and the community for my actions.
I am sorry that I have disappointed many people who have supported me in the past.
I want to acknowledge the tremendous support I have received from my family, the West Coast Eagles Football Club and many others.
I know that in order to play football again I will have to be accepted back by the players and staff of the West Coast Eagles and the AFL and I’m willing to fulfill any obligations imposed on me.
At the present time I don’t know when I’ll play again. My priority is to regain my health, my life and my family.
I want to thank the community at large for their support their encouragement and understanding which has assisted me and been very much appreciated
I would like everyone, if they can, to respect my privacy whilst I continue treatment and meet the significant challenges that lie ahead.to thank the community at large for their support their encouragement and understanding which has assisted me and been very much appreciated
I would like everyone, if they can, to respect my privacy whilst I continue treatment and meet the significant challenges that lie ahead.
Almost every sentence starting with "I"
Some clever lawyer did that to demomstrate he is taking ownership of the issues!

He's not had a hard life.
Don't paint him as some down trodden soul.
He's a spoilt ****ing twat.

Re: Cousins statement - best ever i have heard
Or maybe his ego made him start every sentence with ''I'' but then the statement is about him, his mistakes and his apologies. It would be hard not to aplogise and talked about what you have done without using ''I''. Would it?
