By none of this I also mean not being undefeated and top of the league.

How is it inappropriate behaviour for players to attend a nightclub in the OFF-SEASON?
Nothing has been proven and no charges have been laid so what's the big deal? Just because they got the front page doesn't mean they are criminals. John Kizon is a passionate Eagles supporter and is friends with a lot of professional sportsmen including Benny and Gards. The phone call thing sounds dodgy but nothing has been proven and no charges have been laid. I admit that Ben and Michael should probably choose their friends more wisely as they are looked up to and loved by a lot of people and it's not exactly a good image for the team. As far as drugs are concerned, maybe they have used recreational drugs but seriously what Football player hasn't? I personally know a few AFL Footballers (none of which play for wc) and I know for a fact that all of them used drugs in high school and now that they earn a lot more money there is every reason to think they still do. Get over it people, nothing has or will happen so how about concentrating on your own team and it's fantastic leaders and players who never do anything illegal.

It's who they associate with when they frequent these night clubs that is of interest. Both these guys were warned by the club two years ago about their association with JK obviously they have chosen to ignore the warning.hawkeye23 said:

Anything that reflects on WA footy refects on Freo by association.

Just to clarify...do you consider my original post a troll? If so why?funkyfreo said:
We have had a discussion on the Adelaide board about what level of a players personal/private life can be fairly discussed by posters/contributors. Now my argument was we dont have any right to discuss any personal life...as long as it doesnt impact on the football side. Now Andrew McLeod is a case in point..his separation and subsequent playing issues were aired and it was discussed at great length on the Adelaide board. But it was in relation to his state of mind and how that affected him. Not too many posters wanted to discuss much more than that( apart from bagging his wife for blabbing)
The other area where I feel discussion can be made is if it is public knowledge..This is where Cousins and Gardiner come in. This is a footy forum..can we ignore the front page of the states largest newspaper? It does have an impact on their football..as Cousins is captain and the role of a captain is to provide good leadership on and off the field, then this can be discussed. The drug taking issues were also made public..if not in WA, they were named on a national radio broadcast.
But if you know of someone banging some others players wife..I dont think you can or should post it on here.

The Dockers should be warned not to associate with Chris Connolly during the season. Then they might have a chance of winning a few games!
Jeff Farmer should also be warned not to associate with his de facto after he's had a few beers... Could save him a bundle in legal costs!

Maybe. These are 2 prominent and high profile Eagles players and It's going to hurt WC a lot more than Freo. We've had our own incidents before and it sure didn't reflect badly on WC.

I think we should all keep a lid on it till we know more... at the moment all we have is that they were "interviewed by Police", big deal it happens all the time. Whatever they have done Im sure there is a reason for it, if they have done anything at all. I dont think they would be stupid enough to involve themselves in these "activities" as they are both in the leadership group at the club and surely they wouldnt want to jepourdise that, Ben in particular.

Irresponsible behaviour by players of any club reflects badly on the sport, because it has happened in WA it affects Freo. I'm sure the WAFC is concerned about the effect this may have on football in this state.hopeless said:

Its their call. I dont know why they would want to associate with them, but it is their business not ours.

Woosha was just interviewed on the matter by 6PR and he states " The WCE do not condone any of their players associating with known criminals, if they do then it is a decision that they make"
Will there be any consequence

Josh Wooden is so dumb when he heard Gardy and Cuz were snorting whizz he attacked Jeff Farmer and tried to shove him up his nose!
There sure will be some consequences! At least another years worth of eagles drug puns on bigfootyUndertaker said:Woosha was just interviewed on the matter by 6PR and he states " The WCE do not condone any of their players associating with known criminals, if they do then it is a decision that they make"

I know I for one am looking forward to it.
IMO Woosha and the club should be making it their business. Even if their 'involvement' is purely incidental to the crime (of which I'm sure it is), associating with Kizon and the likes is bad for the club. If Gardiner and Cousins, or any footballer for that matter, whats to play AFL and live a privileged life as a result of it, than they should pull their head in and do whats best for the club.eaglesgurl said:
It was only a couple of weeks ago that Budgie supporters were running around town stating Freo was the laughing stock of AFL football and letting football down in this state. Well my, it only takes three weeks and the shoe is on the other foot. For a club who in season 2004 was promoting their brand into the schools of Perth and exposing their elite players to impressionable children this latest questioning by association should start to make people think, where there's smoke there is usually fire. What is surprising is that the West Coast Daily ran the article on page 1. Maybe their patience is running out also?

Punters on BF have been warning Freo for years that Connolly is bad news, yet you chose to ignore their warnings and re-signed him!

This is still the case!
