I thought I would put my thoughts on this under the Jokes threads as it is a joke but not the funny kind.
Well the spoilt little brat has done it again......weazeled out of facing up to his responsibilities for the umteenth time. I don't have to list his previous and well documented "indiscretions" as we all know them. As for his excuses and claims of innocense because he hasn't actually been caught, charged or tested positive..........what a joke.
And the big joke is that days before his "meeting" with the AFL board the Cousins contingent had already implied their negotiation stance, i.e. they would be willing to accept a one year ban (or sabatical, would be a more appropriate term) in return for not taking any further action. And, guess what, the AFL took it.....right up the arse from what I can see. Not only does he weazel out of a lifetime ban but he gets to play in the WAFL or the other lesser leagues for a year before he decides who he will play for. Doesn't really sound like he's banned to me or even reprimanded.
My problem with this whole debacle is that it has proved, once again, one man can be bigger than the game. The saddest thing of all is that all I hear is how harshly cousins has been treated and what people should be saying is, "get rid of the weazelly scum, I don't want him being a hero to my kids!"
