Good luck, Ben
It was never going to be easy but I hope you can get through all this :-)
Ditto.

It sounds like he returned to Perth for work opportunities (in mining) but not sure if that was the best thing for what he is dealing with given Perth was the environment where it all went downhill. He appeared to be finding some sense of normality in life in Melbourne looking in from the outside.

That is exactly right but he was finding it difficult to secure work here.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Mining industry over there is filled with drugs, prostitutes and binge drinking. Hardly a great industry to get into.

Should be back here in a low profile part time skills coach IMO.

The club should have employed him as skills and development coach. Kept him in footy. 
The club that keeps giving.

Cuzzy is a junkie and was while he was with our club.
Junkies are like cancer - cut them out and burn them before they burn u.

If the bloke dies he dies on his own sword.

These idiots cause so much grief for loved ones because of their spoilt,"poor me i need help" nature and care about nobody.


""Help me.....im sick" :banghead

I'm sorry but I know a fair bit about the way drugs work in the system including the half life of all the substances he regularly took
Can you please explain how he could possibly pass 3 drugs tests a week if he was on it like you suggest?

You rude idiot.

My reason to contact him is none of your business and nothing to do with Ben. It is actually in relation to Geoff Ainsworth and a totally unrelated thing.

So you mind your own business

Lol

U know nothing
I'd know a hell of a lot more than you
Still waiting for an explanation
Unless he was just abusing prescription drugs or perhaps taking substances they don't test for there is just no way. If he was back on the ice or coke he would have been done, pretty simple.

No offence but there's a fine line between knowledge and ignorance.
The problem is,so called knowledgeable "experts" like you.aren't,yet your opinion and faith in corrupt,flawed systems not only deludes you but but merely prolongs the demise of the addict,assuring when it happens it will be away from the sanctity of such a regal corporation as,in this case the afl.........but you all feel good about yourselves.

All u need to know is that the test results said he was clear ........

In the end we are all in control of our own destiny, sad some cant handle it! and yeah sometimes it aint easy. Cant really say that about cuz he has it handed to him on a platter and continually choses to melt his brain, got money & women & a life some would die to have and don't appreciate it.
Great bloke from what I can tell, bite the bullet and enjoy the 1 shot you have!
