What are your thoughts on Ben Cousins?

Question

I love Benny.I am a westcoast fan and have followed the team since 87. I don't particularly like the stuff ben gets upto,but i think he is a great player and is a top bloke,just makes some bad descicions..

Answer 1

Well anyone who wants to kid themselves there's not a Ben Cousins in their club somewhere either now or in the past few years probably needs some drugs.  Maybe it won't be a star like Ben but drugs are a huge problem for our youth and there's no way any club could guarantee they're clear.  We need to fix the problem at its roots.

I think Ben's a champion player.  I've loved watching him play, even against us and I wish him all the best.

My thought for the night ... 'people in glass houses ....'

Answer 2

I personally think he has made a huge mistake for which he is paying for.

I hope he gets back on the straight and narrow for his and his familys' sake.

I like him, always have, and I am not a west coast supporter, I am a Crows supporter.

I wish him luck.

I think he is going to  need it ♥

Answer 3

he's a spoiled brat - needs to get a real job for a while.

Answer 4

i fell that yes the whole drugs thing was a mistake, but he is only human and is simply the AFLs scapegoat on drug taking in the sport

Answer 5

Every time I see this guy on TV, I wonder how he keeps his muscle tone. Ben looks super fit, and must put many hours into retaining his appearance.

I don't think that a bottle of baby oil can do this alone.

Other thoughts are that his fitness level would have got him through his traumatic time. An unfit person would not have survived.

Answer 6

ohh please

i dont think of him

Answer 7

people in western australia seem to make heroes out of very dodgy characters

Answer 8

Even I have lost patience in Ben.

Him getting that hideous tattoo across his stomach topped it off.

And, being a lifetime friend of Ben & his family , I find it difficult to knock him - but................

Answer 9

I recon he did the world a favour by coming back and playing.  If somebody we knew that wasn't famous had been on drugs, then to rehab, the first thing we would want them to do would be to go back to work.  But for some reason people want to ban him from going back to work just because they dont like him? Idiots.

And to the person bagging his tat, it was part of the rehab process, give a guy a break.  Just because he is famous doesn't mean he can't choose what to do with his body?  Idiots again!

Answer 10

ban him for ever

Answer 11

I like Ben also.but at the moment he is a lost soul and will most likely drift a little further away for a while.

Then in the 2008 season he will come out fighting for the Eagles and he will do it all for Chris!!!!

I wish him all the best.xo
