anyone happen to catch 7news tonight? Cousins' lawyer was in court today representing that other fine citizen, Troy Mercanti...wonder who put Ben in contact with Shane Brennan?

I reckon we'll all be suprised. I reckon maybe give him next year off to get his health back in order then in season 2009 let him play again if he has his health back and can actually prove it in some way. Doing it this way may actually help him as it gives him a goal to target and gives him a reason to try and tackle his issue. If the AFL never let him play again he might just think "stuff that" i really have nothing to lose now and may not try to overcome his problems.

Good point. I guess its all up to him really

He will always have the jokes about him, heard two on channel 7 tonight on a national program however this will prove what sort of champion he is.....

If ben can prove that he did nothing wrong prior to this indiscression (and i'm sure its possible). He could claim damages on several levels. i.e. Wrongful dismissal and also mental distress that cause him to revert back to taking drugs whilst overseas.

Eagles/AFL/WA Polica should be screwed. I doubt he will bother taking action though.

Allegedly he broke his contract in a number of different ways, not including anything to do with him being pulled over. Off the top of my head, this is what I was told, he did not respond to phone calls after (so the club could not request their own test), he was seen with people he was not supposed to be around in the days/week preceding, he refused to cooperate with the authorities, and so on.

It is a shame to see him go as despite the bad rap he gets, he is a good bloke, however in the end the Eagles couldn't pretend they can handle him anymore, so he had to go.

No worries, hadn't heard about these incidents at all, thanks for clearing that up greennick..
