Wouldn't you rather see him back where he belongs??? If he is clear to play, then it should be for us.
Yep, and that pisses me off
As a supporter of the club, I can understand that, but the club is paying the penalty for allowing him so much grace over the years and turning a blind eye where one shouldnt have been turned. Direct your anger at the admin of the club. Because you have reason to.
yeah that's right, WC lost him alllll cos of the WA Police
i think the only certainty with cousins is that he'll end up like mainwaring or in jail, one of the two

He may be mentally weak in one area, but he has shown he has mental toughness in enduring physical pain week in week out in another arena. He needs to learn to transfer that tolerance to his personal life.
We hate to travel so much that when we went over to Western ADRUGlia your franchise had an early end of season trip.
Get back on your drip.
i dont doubt that, but hopefully he transfers that mental toughness, sooner rather than later. An overdose is'nt going to wait. And some of the people cousins associates with - he cant just stop being friends with them overnight, doesnt work that way
I just wonder whether you realise that Benny has a very serious drug addiction, and he may never be able to attain the physical fitness to play footy again.
No, I actually still disagree with his sacking. So i have beef with the admin for other reasons.
I just hope he comes back to the WCE - but I doubt it.

Worst. Sledge. Ever.
I see a connection to Natalie Umbruglia...then there's Daniel Johns...you just need to think harder
on what grounds do you disagree with his sacking?
He breached his contract repeatedly with both the club and the AFL. The club just refused to acknowledge and act on these breaches for so long, it became part of the problem.
The AFL had no choice in the end, if they were to uphold their drug and rehab policy and also their reputation as a sport that wont condone a health threat that comes with habitual use of banned substances.
It was 7 or 8 years of turning a blind eye by the management because he was playing well that led him to be so cocky and arrogant about it all - he was untouchable. But it eventually unravelled.......
WC have already said no way jose. So can that fantasy.

If Cousins ever plays AFL again (and I hope that he doesn't play unless he is fit and mentally and emotionally ready) I would like to see him play for a team that could really use his services like say Richmond or the Western Bulldogs .
I disagree with removing drug addicts from their primary occupation...but that's a debate for another time, because it's been done to death

It could be called taking pity on your enemies - I remember a lot of non-Collingwood supporters were actually cheering for them in the 1990 GF (Obviously no Dons supporters) because they felt a kind of pity for a club that could make so many GFs and lose them all the time
It was almost like a relief for the Non-Pies as well - A bit like Doctor Evil finally triumphing over Austin Powers?I love it when they throw the Vic media in the mix. Pretty much sums up the whole thing.
Anyway, if what MM and Cousins spoke about had anything to do with the Collingwood reserves/VFL team, if Cousins ended laying VFL for Collingwood, if he straightened himself out and had a good season and if he provided a positive role model then the chances of him ending up on Collingwood’s VFL list would be minimal.

He's permitted to play VFL. Collingwood may invite him. I'm indifferent as to whether they do or dont.
It has no bearing on his AFL career except that he'll get some match practice in a lesser league.
Non issue.

Football is not a life-long career, so it cant really be called a primary occupation. All players have to move on by the time they reach their early 30's.

Cousins would still have to go into the draft. Would Collingwood be prepared to either tank or trade to get high enough in the draft to take him ?
