I just wish everybody would leave Ben alone. He is a champion footballer and from all reports equally as good a man. Is it really any of our business what he does in his own time off the football field? NO it isnt.
To ben and family, I wish you all the very best in the times ahead and want to say that I believe in you despite what I might read in the newspaper. Head up and remember you have a gift and no one can take that away from you.
If my son, whom I named Ben after you, grows up to be half the man you are I’ll be the proudest woman on Earth.
It angers to the point where I’m in tears to see that Australians and reporters in particular are too busy sticking their noses into other people’s personal lives than worrying about what’s really important.
BEN, YOU’LL ALWAYS BE A CHAMPION IN MY EYES.

Hi,
Ben Cousins should not be kicked out of the Eagles as he may not have even taken the drugs. Who knows? Also because he might of been depressed becasue of the recent death of chris Mainwairng. best of luck Benny. I love you soo much. Hottie

Considering this will be Bens first strike officially, why should he be sacked. I know that some clubs like Hawthorn promote two to three strikes so what’s the difference people. Ben is a lot better player then any in the Hawthorn side.

I am absolutely mortified at the ridiculous comments people have made here regarding Ben. For god’s sake, do you also kick a dying dog in the guts when it’s lying on the ground? Ben has hurt no one but himself and perhaps his family. He is grieving. Leave him alone to sort his life and grief out. He doesn’t go out bashing his wife or girlfriend like some AFL players, he doesn’t play around with his best mates wives like some AFL players, he doesn’t do alot of things that other AFL players do (and get away with) but, let’s face it, he’s a West Coast Eagle and its open season isn’t it? As is already stated in a few comments here, who of us has never done something that may seem wrong if it were splashed all over the papers and the damn tv screens? I’d say none! Who makes us judge and jury? What gives us the right to judge him? I personally will be devastated if the WCE sack him. I support his efforts to sort out his life, and think we ought to show a little compassion and empathy. My heart goes out to Ben and his loved ones right now, and my sympathy goes to the ignorant “finger pointers”.

Please people don’t give up on Benny because he is the Eagles’ best player now. They really do need help him badly. Come on people, true WCE supporters will help Benny stay. Well I would, he’s just lost Mainy and that’s alot to do with it. So don’t slag him off….OK WA? Get behind him. Ben Cousins should stay playing for the West Coast Eagles (9) needs to stay. No Judd, maybe no Cousin, no draft. Say bye bye to cup of 2008. Maybe the Fremantle Dockers might win more games nxt year lol (not).

Ben is a champion and by all accounts a great bloke. He has a problem and
needs help….not criticism from the mindless mob.

You’re all missing the point. Cousins has let the club down. He’s let his teammates down. He’s let the supporters down, and most importantly, he’s really let his fmaily down. Basically, he had the chance to get his life back on track, and his career and to help his club, but he can’t stop being Ben Cousins. For the Club’s sake. Drop him. As a man, let him pick his life up, he’s had all the chances he could muster. He’s also responsible for Judd leaving and for the party boy culture that has seen Gardiner, Fletcher, Chick etc all make a case for trade week.
He tainted our premiership when he whooped and hollered on the podium, and contrast that to the professional humbleness of Judd. If it turns out WC could’ve saved Judd by delisting Ben (as the rumours had it) I will cry myself to sleep.

I’m sick of hearing from the portion of women trying to defend this loser. Like it or not ladies, you are all a ZERO CHANCE of ever getting into bed with him! So remove this bias from your views and see the situation for what it is. Thankyou
