Bullshit, he just buggered off to Carlton.May HE help us in this dire emergency...
See that bit in the middle. Let's hope we're not there.
BM, keep your goats to yourself.
Wise words.It's the way people deal with the tough times that defines them. Anyone can ride a wave of success. It's when the milk goes sour that people show what they're made of. That time is now.
Nope.Wise words.
I pose a question to all: Do you think that with Cousins and Chick gone that we are now 'clean'?
I don't think so either. But then there's the question: do we need to do more? Right now as our list stands I don't think we've got the worst 'drug culture' in the AFL, but neither do I believe we can say we are 'clean'.Nope.
Its not just cuz that do drugs at West Coast.. some others need to wake up!!!
I agree- but other clubs on the Eastern Seaboard too are doing drugs and yet protected by their managers etc. Why does this stuff always end up in such a shambles for our club and become so public ?,this doesnt happen to other clubs this way-they go into damage control and look after theyre star players.
WC is not the only club in AFL who does this.
Is there a Political agenda at work here? Was Cousins set up?
Hi Im new and yes I like Ben Cousins- even tho' he's flawed liked the rest of us.
LOL @ marketing. Club will never have a problem like that.
Wise words.
I pose a question to all: Do you think that with Cousins and Chick gone that we are now 'clean'?
Was cousins set-up?? Pffff you have to be delusional.
Why would he have avoided a blood test? Why would he have been driving recklessly on the road.
The reason that our club is always in the media is the fact that these players are so blatant! I am guessing some players from other clubs are using rec drugs behind close doors. Cousins was lying on the ground in one of the main streets in Vic earlier this year and was pulled over in busy Perth yesterday. The media don't need to do much investigative journalism into our problems.
I second that.please someone give Gunnar moderator duties!!!
Make of this article what you will.

Not the usual table thumping rantings of Patrick Smith or Caroline Wilson but a measured account of how we have to come to this point in relation to our "drugs culture".
Judd is gone. Cousins is gone.
The Golden Era that promised so much is over. But now a new era begins.
We still have a core of tough, experienced, talented players, and a crop of young guns to develop. We'll pick up some outstanding local talent in this draft, where we're better positioned than ever before.
2007 has knocked the absolute stuffing out of the Eagles, but this club will pull itself up off the mat and keep going. We're too tough not to.
Our premiership window obviously isn't what it was two months ago, but it's not totally closed. We'll drop back to about 9.00 on the premiership clock and rebuild for another crack.
John Worsfold is about to earn his money.
Testing times for West Coast, but this is the moment where everybody associated with the Eagles, supporters included, have to pull themselves together and show their mettle.
It's the way people deal with the tough times that defines them. Anyone can ride a wave of success. It's when the milk goes sour that people show what they're made of. That time is now.
This club will not curl up and die. Its supporters should not allow themselves to despair, no matter how grim the situation might appear.
