Padding up and a question of perspective
Martin Flanagan | The Age | January 24, 2009

... I saw my father-in-law, too. He barracks for Richmond. He picked the Tigers during World War II when they won a flag under Jack Dyer. A genial man in most things, he is ferocious about the Tiges. He says he would have given them away if they hadn't taken Ben Cousins.

Bob Roache, the handyman who lives in our street, is hardly less emphatic. He grew up alongside Punt Road in the '40s and '50s and reckons the Tigers did the right thing taking Cousins. He is yet to play a single game and already Cousins has got the Tiges roaring.

So that was my Christmas. My elder daughter had a baby. My father-in-law says it will barrack for the Tigers.

I couldn't find this on the web but another day and another Cousins at a restaurant story plus a pic in the paper hardcopy too apparently...

-----------------------------------

Cousins joined dual Brownlow medallist Peter Moore, former Geelong champion Sam Newman, Hawthorn great Dermott Brereton, and Carlton and St Kilda gun Aaron Hamill at a dinner to open the restaurant's new Palm Deck.

Cousins arrived holding hands with a woman, but the pair declined to be photographed.


What a combo. Was the woman a present for Dermie to keep him quiet?

Not going there Darth lol  :wallywink. His past history is for all to see in that slideshow email that is doing the rounds and is on the net.

I was told the woman who picked up Cousins at Tullamarine after we picked him in the PSD was Nixon's sister. It could the same woman and the media have beaten up a platonic peck. In any case if he's got a new girlfriend good on him. I hope she's another positive influence in and on his life while he rebuilds and rehabilitates his life.

No idea Ox who is the one at the restaurant. The photo on the Hun website only shows Cuz with Dermie, Sam and co.


I think this is the woman someone told me was Nixon's sister


And here's the famous big burly man  ;D

Okay ta for that.

Yep apparently the big burly man is some sort of bodyguard. Cuz doesn't need some pap or drunk lowlife harrassing him trying to get their 15 seconds of fame.

Ben's still bending the elbow
Courier Mail | January 26, 2009 11:00pm

HE MAY be a recovering drug addict but Ben Cousins is still on the booze.

During a lunch in St Kilda at the weekend with his new squeeze, known only as Maylea, the AFL star downed several drinks with friends before leaving at the sensible hour of 7pm.

"He was mucking around," a Riva regular said.

"He definitely had a few drinks and looked like he was having a pretty good time."

Maylea may be another reason Cousins didn't want to be part of the Cleo Bachelor Of The Year awards.

Just more trashy journalism. Hmmm so some journo in Queensland would know a Riva "regular" ::). What a convenient unnamed source  ::).
