another reason is he came out and said he had a problem[ not because of the 3 strike policy] and was shot down for saying that.. so what that says to me is that any young fella with the same problems in the afl is better off not saying he has a problem untill that 3rd strike comes out.. is that the right message for our young fellas??
Nope, I don't agree with the 3 strikes policy either.
The reason Cousins "came out" and said he "had a problem" was to explain some of his bizarre anti-social behaviour, not because of any sense of duty he felt towards the game.
You want to support Ben Cousins? Go right ahead, it's your choice. But I just wonder what message THAT would be sending to the impressionable youths reading this forum.
One message that could come out of it, is that no matter what life throws up at you, or what you make of life if you have the self belief and the will you can recover from any situation to became a better/stronger person.
What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
