LOL. Just as you can be sure of Walls putting his foot in it on a weekly basis once the footy season arrives you can be even more sure of Carlton fans defending the dropkick with religious zeal :eek:
Really? Have you actually seen many Carlton suppporters in the past defending Walls articles or are you making stuff up because you love feeling victimised?

Yeah I thought so :p

I'm defending Walls because he's right.

We tried to reabilitate Karl Norman like a good organisation is supposed to do. We laid down the rules for him to continue with Carlton (not socialising with Angwin) and demanded he abide by them.
So how is that different to West Coast trying to rehab Cousins then?

Take your head out of the sand, your club does have players that have tried/used illicit drugs. You're just in denial.

It's different because:
-West Coast knew about the problem six years ago and did nothing
-West Coast only acted on the problem when AFL drug testers came knocking and Cousins did a runner
-West Coast is talking to its lawyers to find out if it can legally break its contract with Cousins (very supportive)

Not every club is filled with druggos like West Coast. We draft kids of high moral character, its one of our priorities when picking our kids.

Denial board. It's well known that every time someone critises Walls Carlton fans will get all precious about it, simillar to Collingwood supporters when Eddie gets bagged. Get your head out of your own @rse mate ;)

And LMFAO at Carlton supporters whinging about other supporters 'feeling victimised' :D :eek:

We didn't try to cover it up, and we sacked the guy immediately. A little different don't you think? :p
and he is still a no hoper.

At least WCE took a more holistic approach and have tried to assist with rehabbing Ben.

No excuses for a player being involved - they make their own choices in life and suffer the outcomes.

Our club has tried to deal with the issues but eventully had to escalate it when Ben did not respond to their efforts. Others did respond and are back on track.

Maybe there is an argument that the club's efforts were ineffectual and insufficient but they were dealing with something that they did not completely understand.

I believe that WCE will be a better club for what has happened and will be better equipped to advise, monitor and deal with future issues.

Of concern are those clubs who do have similar issues (there are plenty of clubs in that boat to varying degrees) who have taken a "holier than thou" attitude but are effectively burying their head in the sand and hoping that all of the attention on WCE will allow them to escape the spotlight.

If a club thinks that these issues can be buried, they are mistaken. For all that I dislike journos, they will continue to seek and destroy in the name of getting a story.

A club that has ignored this issue after what has happened here, will be even more culpable should it be exposed at their club going forward.

Your right. This should probably be on the West Coast board.

Do you have any evidence of that?

I think you're pulling things out of your @rse but it aint your head

And LMFAO at Carlton supporters whinging about other supporters 'feeling victimised' :D :eek:
Just pointing out reality to the dillusional. Go talk to Ken Judge and Glen Jakovich, they'll be sure to tell you all about WAs need to feel victimised by the eastern states and how they used it to make themselve look like heroes in WA by attacking the evil eastern media who were apparently making it all the drug stuff up :eek:

Evil wins the battle but never the war, watch the movies ;)

You should know following Liverpool, you can win the CL, FA cup or the Careless Cup, but until you win the Premiership you are just not it ;) .
Maybe you should do a recount of the Liverpool trophy cabinet.

Oh yes thats right Carlton have a list of 45 angels that would never touch illicit drugs. Any club that systematically cheats the salary cap like your club would not bat an eyelid about covering up a few guys that swallow a few tablets. Tell me do you believe in the tooth fairy?

Carlton FC barely touches illicit drugs.
