Don't recall saying he should die, just that he should consume less oxygen ... his Dad should get a medal though

Youre right his dad has been all he could...I would confidently speculate Ben wouldnt have survived anywhere near this far without him

It is understood Cousins was committed to the hospital's psychiatric unit for his own safety, The West Australian newspaper reported.
The paper says Cousins was taken by ambulance under a police escort to the Joondalup Health Campus mental health unit on Friday after a prolonged psychosis related to his battle with drug addiction.

I always referred oxygen thief as one who's consuming oxygen that would be better serviced by someone else more deserving. I didn't take your comment as saying her should die either.

Add this to Daniel Chick and his saga, and West Coast were a fine upstanding club back when these blokes and Mainwairing were playing...

There should forever be a cloud over their last premiership ... The way the AFL has turned a blind eye is shameful.

One thing's for sure, at least he doesn't go around bashing old grannies and breaking into people's homes to feed his habit.
It's all the SANFL's fault.

surely not... so if you take drugs that makes you a good footballer or athlete? no amount of drugs could give him the skill he had, he was a freak.
