BEN COUSINS [merged]

[Francois Jackson]

It's a really sad story.

The pictures and quotes in the woman's day after the birth of his son were fantastic and full of hope.

But even a loving mrs and little boy at home haven't done the trick.

Maybe time in the house might be best as said earlier????

i dont know his mrs or claim to know her but i heard he was involved with business with a relative of hers as quoted in todays HUN

agree with others, Time in the can might be the best thing for him

selfish person bringing a child into
the world when he cant look after himself.

Hanging out at brothels with a baby at home. He's a classy dude Cuz.
Agree with others about the selfishness.

Drug addiction turns people into selfish so-and-sos. It takes over, controls and destroys lives - both the drug addict's and all the people around him (family). The sad reality for Cuz is if he can't eventually break the habit it will finish him off for good at a still relatively young age.

Cousins in court on drugs charges
By AAP .
2 April 2012 11:18AM EST


FORMER AFL star Ben Cousins is unlikely to go to jail, a court has been told, despite appearing in court on charges of intent to sell or supply amphetamine.

Cousins was bailed to reappear in the Perth Magistrates Court on June 27, where he is expected to be fast-tracked to the WA District Court.

Appearing in the Perth Magistrates Court today, Cousins was accompanied by his father, former Perth and Geelong Australian Rules star Bryan Cousins, who sat through the proceedings.

Cousins was not required to enter a plea to one charge of possessing with intent to sell or supply 4.5 grams of methamphetamine.

Cousins' lawyer Michael Tudori requested bail conditions be changed.

Bail was set a $2000 with a similar surety, but he does not have to report to police as he was under previous bail conditions.

Mr Tudori claimed that Cousins was not facing a term of imprisonment, despite the gravity of the charges.

"There is no need whatsoever to have those conditions remain", he said.

"The fact is that he is not going to get a term in jail."

Mr Tudori says Cousins was just over the indictable offence limit of four grams.

Police will allege the 33-year-old had the drugs hidden inside his body when he was arrested at Esperance Airport in Western Australia's south last Tuesday night.

The confessed methamphetamine addict had been attending a drug rehabilitation clinic in Esperance.

Cousins flew back to Perth last week after being released on bail and is listed to appear in Perth Magistrates Court this morning.

He shouldve stayed in Melbourne far away from his old mates.
He couldve been a great midfield/development coach. 
He wouldve helped the young players learn to read the play.

FALLEN AFL legend Ben Cousins has been charged with drug offences after police allegedly found cannabis in his car today.

The 33 year-old was pulled over by police this morning in the Perth suburb of North Beach where he lives with his girlfriend and baby boy.

A search of the car by police allegedly uncovered cannabis and a smoking implement and Cousins was charged by summons to appear in court at a later date.

The charges come just three weeks after Cousins was charged with possessing 4.5g of methamphetamine. The drug was allegedly found hidden in his rectum at a remote West Australian airport as he was returning to drug rehabilitation.

Stupid to want that. What if he gets off the wagon mid season?

Then it will be another stupid RFC decision and then you'll harp on the last 30 years and we make the same mistakes. Yet the impulsiveness of this is laughable. Its ridiculous as much as it is funny.

No wonder Dimma ruled it out and I agree let him get his life in order. Footy doesn't owe him anything. I wish him all the best but coaching for him is a long way off.

God bless him
