Yeah, that seems to be the way things will pan out for Cousins.
Do you think Gardy will be retained next year? He has been a great player for you guys, but his continuing poor judgement off-field is a real destabilizing influence. Personally, I think a trade to Melbourne could benefit both parties (assuming he is not beyond hope).

Hmmm, what started off as an innocent poll and a question has turned into another WCE vs Freo fight...once again with the antagonist being UNIT. Funny that.
Back onto the topic of the thread, Cousins really has shown an incredilble lack of respect for the coaches demands. Not saying they should strip him of the captaincy based just on that but at any club the captain has to be a leader of men, an example setter, someone who will show no fear (hence why I got stuck into Riewoldt when he turned on the waterworks) and above all must put the team above anything. From which Cousins has shown by going against Coaches instructions that he didn't put the team above others.
Wirrpunda would be my bet. Always hard at the footy, has been at the Eagles since 95 (or 96?), has been a great asset to the eagles defence. That's just my pick if the Eagles had to pick a new captain.

Just run back through this and any other threads and find where I have ever intimated that a Fremantle supporter or player engaged in criminal activity and were drug takers. happy trawling. You wont find anything. Unlike you I have a bit more integrity than that

Hmm, it's been an interesting read and I will be interested to see how all this pans out! The Cousins and Gardiner thing I mean.
IMO, Cousins should stay as captain as I don't think anything suss is going on other than the fact that they know Kizons. And if him and Gardiner are stupid enough to take drugs then they'll be found out eventually and they'll just be letting themselves and their team down in the long run!
One thing that we can all take from this thread however:
WC supporters like to give out abundant amounts of sh.it and simply cannot take it! WC trolls, go back and read all the trolls started about freo and then pull your head out of your arses and then make an attempt to grow up!

Interesting comparison to Carlton where Pagan told Karl Norman he was not to associate with Laurence Angwin if he wanted to continue his tenure at the club.
However, Cousins when given similar advice by his coach to not associate himself with certain people chooses to ignore that advice.
If Pagan was at the helm of the Eagles, Cousins would be gone for sure.

what the! said:
I never stated that they sold/took drugs, I asked a question. However you stated that "Fremantle supporters cannot string more than 2 intelligible words together" which is actually more of a slander than what I did.

Bollocks. You have loved joining UNIT's and Ljp86's troll bandwagon over the past few weeks.
You only hate bringing up the Freo v Eagles thing when there is some heat on the Eagles for once.
40% of the WCE supporters on BF are trolls, and you're one of them.

I'd doubt Wirra would want the captaincy. Not that he shuns responsibility - far from it - just that he has the commitment to his foundation taking up basically all of his non-football related time, which would make it very hard for him to devote the kind of time needed for the captaincy. If Cousins were to lose it, Judd would get it.
Bzzzzt wrong answer....wedesweiler said:
2 completely different scenarios
One was told if you associate with.... you are gone.
The other one was given advice not to associate..
Please put a bit more thought into your post next time.

He has a point, If pagan was coach he would of been TOLD not to associate. Then when he does, he would of been gone.
The other thing is that Cousins is a awesome player, and well Norman was Norman.
BOLLOCKS TO THAT, I hated responding & inflaming the Eagles v Freo thing, but I did because of these comments:hoss said:
1st Unit (whom I don't disagree with & makes a valid point).
And this Hoss, is where it started becoming an Eagles v Freo thing.UNIT said:

Kizon's his 'partner' now?
Why don't you let the West Australian choose the captain - they seem to have the running of the Eagles at the moment?
But seriously - why not stick with Cousins, his (alleged) continued association with the criminal underworld is clearly not affecting the team or his own performance. Until it can be proven that it is affecting the team (or until Cousins gets thrown in gaol) he should maintain his role.
As for those people sticking to the good old "what about being a role model for the children!" line. If anything is bollocks - that is it.
Footballers are on public display when they are playing footy and representing the club in an official capacity, any other time their personal issues are their own business.
Mark Viduka put this best when (and this was during an uncontroversial period of his life) asked about being a role model when he said that kids should look to their parents for role models and to learn about values.
Really - if the Dockers didn't exost would this even get a run on this board??

ps. If Cousins did lose it - Banfield's the man.

Nice post Stumpy Pete! Agree with most except the P.S. Banners is too old now.... if Cousins goes, I think the captaincy should go to Judd.
