It just shows how much his life spiraled out of control.

Maybe the tattoo he has isn't about Ned Kelly it is about his life. Such is his life.

Ricky Nixon says Cuz will be arriving in Melbourne tomorrow morning and will start training straight away.

Press conference with Ben tomorrow sometime.

Edit: Ricky added it's important for Ben's rehab to get to melbourne as soon as possible. He's going to a club on the up that is well-coached, well administrated and a big club.

Good - Got Goudis as well anyway  :cheers :santa

Looks like training may be a bit more interesting than with the usual 30-40 diehards watching.

The biggest question mark over Cousins is his old habits. Can be break them?

The largest habit we need to watch is his tendency to associate with the wrong crowd and celebrate inappropriately. I am sure he will have a full time minder (there is speculation that he will cover the cost to the club to employ this person) but this will be his greatest day to day battle.

Ben has such a strong, charismatic personality people are keen to believe him, trust in him and follow him. I hope the club is firm but fair with our new recruit, setting clear guidelines but not pushing him to breaking point either which could cause him to throw the towel in altogether.

The challenge will be high...but well worth it if he is committed to the cause.
