You could say he's a former drug addict who has had an adverse reaction to prescription medication. Am I right, Big Footy?

Wokka wokka.. nudge nudge wink wink.

 

[Docker Clint]

Did anyone else get a giggle out of the Richmond official saying when his girlfriend couldn't arouse him she immediately called the club.

"rouse" , you imbecile.

Wouldnt that prescribe tablets for that exact purpose as opposed to sleeping tablets with that side effect?

Honestly you clearly know absolutely nothing about the subject.

I would say quit now while you're ahead, but i don't think you ever were ahead.

The phrase "adverse reaction to a sleeping tablet" has taken a life on it's own...... many people are using that line as part of some sort of facebook + twitter long running joke .

This might be the straw that breaks the camel's back. If Ben plays again this year, or indeed continues through to next year, i'll be very surprised.

Huh? Why?
Talk about over the top there, mate... if all the players are using sleeping tablets, why would Ben get dropped indefinitely for this?

 

[ptrg]

anyone else seen the movie "Role Models"?

Think back to the part where Sean William Scott and the hot cheating gf are camping..
Maybe this is the reason Cousins was taking sleeping pills, because it supposedly "heightens" feelings during sex..
Would explain why he took sleeping pills in the morning with only his girlfriend...

Anyone else heard of this before?

Edit:

Ambien Sex: It sounds like an oxymoron, since Ambien is in the family of sedatives. But Ambien is said to offer more than a night of super sleep. For some, the drug can produce a haze of inhibition, making sex crazier, hotter, and more erotic.

Ambien is like LSD or Ecstasy,” Dove says. “You definitely feel a little bit of a buzz. You feel a euphoria when you take it.”

It's the same thing Tiger Woods got busted doing with a stripper...

its common knowledge that him going to rehab was part of the 'if-you-want-to-play-football-ever-again-then-here-are-the-things-you-need-to-do-to-show-the-afl-that-you-are-try-to-be-a-better-person' checklist

Anyone bagging someone for being unwell such as Cousins and Barlow well I hope they get hit by a bus, don't really care if it's fatal or not. Too bad for you

 

[Belnakor]

Tiger Woods was into it too

Ben will be sedated in Intensive Care for 24 - 48 hrs , more will be known of his condition then . ( From ABC news report from Punt RD ) I just hope he is okay and can somehow carry on his good form for Richmond !

 

[morgoth]

Will Cousins release his medical records of this visit when he is well?

Sorry but given his past I think this is very suspect. Medical records are confidential so unless he agrees to release them we will never know.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Can't believe the low posts in this thread. The poor guy is in intensive care so let's just hope all goes well for him and that he can recover as soon as possible.

Do we need to know?

 

[amorihov]

afl's got a problem on their hands re: sleeping pills as players these days take them whilst drinking to get on a high or feel similiar effects to what they will with banned drugs so they are used as a substitute and then get away with it as sleeping pills are not illegal

 

[pacemaker]

Jealous people

Why don't we release your medical records? It really is none of your business.

Seriously there are some real arseholes out there.

not only released, released so that the footy media can get hold of them, could not think of anything worse

 

[Clay Davis]

Why don't we release your medical records?

There's a good reason why we wouldn't want that, and it's due to the more than passing physiological resemblance morgoth has to Caster Semenya.

Stupid Post is STUPID !

FFS why do you need to know about his medical history ?

It is nobody's business especially yours...

I hope Ben gets well soon and continues to play good footy

I'd say the sleeping pills are to go to sleep. Most AFL players are on caffeine overload during a game.

not a good mix at all.

maybe this needs looking into, pronto......

I don't think that is true at all. There was a stage where a lot of players tried it but a vast majority of them didn't like the caffeine tablets etc. I'd say maybe 10% max.
