Hi auzgurl,

They should have helped him much earlier. Apparently it is a common problem in england where young kids get massive amounts of money and status but don't have the maturity to handle it.

Surely any sports club owe one of their own more .... care, compassion and concern than what they have shown on this occassion.

Given their attitude to him, he owes them nothing.

yes sprint,

I think you ve hit the nail on the head here.

I feel sorry for him, he works so hard for his team and yet they dont cutr him any slack at all.They need to let these guys have theyre off field life and keep out of it.

Hes inspirational regardless and as for role model..kids would never know if it wasnt splashed everywhere by papers,.

What planet have you been on, Auzgurl? Are you really that naive?

Ben Cousins has been supplying drugs since he was in high school. Do you think his association with Troy Mercanti (Coffin Cheaters) was just a coincidence? Did you find it strange that Ben wouldnt testify in court when Mercanti was on trial for the Metro nightclub shooting?

The Eagles have had a problem with drug use at the club for at least 10 years. How do I know? If you wanted to score coke, all you had to do was head down to the Claremont Hotel and buy an Eagles player a couple of drinks and pop the question. The cops have known about it for years.

Last time I checked, it was illegal to use illicit drugs in WA. As is abandoning a car while under the influence of alcohol.

And in Victoria, it is illegal to be drunk and disorderly in public.

That's just the past 12 months!

Would your boss continue to employ you if he/she knew you were guilty of such activity? I doubt it. So why should it be any different for a footballer?
