Im sick to death of hearing about the come back of Ben Cousins...
The triumph of his return, how his over come adversity etc etc etc!
What a load of S**t!
Ramma coming back from cancer that’s a triumph, McCarthy coming back from the Bali bombing that’s a triumph.
Not coming back from a self inflicted drug addiction!
Lol sorry about the family guy referance.....

Not coming back from a self inflicted drug addiction! Totally wasting a huge opportunity that people kill for. And embarrassing himself, his club, his family etc etc…
And now he gets a bloody come back card!
What sort of message does this send to people! If you’re a star and can kick a ball through some goals do what you want! Take drugs, disgrace yourself do what you want and people will still want you back with open arms.
Just think if he was an avg player… No one would care, he would have been delisted etc never to be heard from again…
I just think its wrong to celebrate the return of Cousins so highly….
end rant!
fellas you know my stance on this issue and if only i had $1 for everytime i had of heard a rant like this, i would have been able to fly over to watch Cuz v Judd RD1!
As mentioned by a few this extra attention has not been asked of by him and he was not your average player during his day, he was a champion of the game .. just look at his individual and team awards and his work ethic. Which is why it would have been a waste for him never to play again.
He was never caught by the AFL for drug offences or given a strike whilst playing which does not make what he did all right, but there are many players in the AFL who have 1-2strikes which no one has even heard there names, yet they have turned up to training with substances in their system etc, but have never been thrown into the public washing machine and viewing glass like Cuz has!
If this was happing to another player and champ of our game such as the newly popular Buddy Franklin and he went through all what Cousins has/did, i know id like to see him back after this time off (not being a fan of the club etc), but more so for the game.
It is just a good story two ex west coast captains coming back together as oppostions for RD1, has drawn in a sold out crowd for thusday night and looks to be a blockbuster!
