Call it insensitive, but it's all very suspicious.

You can delete your own post if you like mate.

You accuse someone of illegal activity, point blank, and expect it to go unmoderated?

Cousins rang the club and demanded a drug test which was arranged at about 5.45am( can you imagine how hard that would have been to organize) that morning by the club in an attempt to stamp our any slur about his rehabilitation as the link was going to be made.The samples were taken.For christs sake give the guy a break.I am sure people are waking up hoping he is found in a gutter somewhere.

To draw any more conclusions from that at this stage is very dangerous. Say what you like about Ben Cousins but how would you feel if one of your best mates died suddenly and you were one of the last to see him alive?

All very sad .....

perfectly put.

Geez what a year for the WCE..bloody terrible thing to happen, no matter what was involved. Condolences to his family and to the WCE.
Cousins has had a year to forget, some self inflicted and things like this not. No matter what happened re the speculation to have a mate die, and be the last to see him is a terrible thing to happen and not deserved on anyone...Will take a strong man to come out of the other side...

The sentence that was left made little sense, thats all i'm saying.
To the contrary smac daddy, i was expecting some sort of knee jerk reaction, but you got to try these things.
It's what a lot of people are thinking, so it was worth a go.
I have no problem with the moderation of the site, so cut and sling what you like, that's your responsibility.
I accept that.
Interesting to note Mainwearing's falling out with the WCE of late leading to his depression.
Some players are said to have stopped talking to him at all.
Now lets see where this leads...

OK, gotcha now.

Sometimes just deleting everything means someone else tries and we spend our day deleting stuff.

Leave some crumbs behind and no one else has a go.

There is a lot of talk over here as you'd expect but I am holding all judgements until they come back with a finding on what happened.

Talk of state funerals, statues, etc. are very premature until the above is resolved.

As for Brad Hardie, help me ... if you have ever heard the 6PR nightly sports show (I made the mistake once), you'd understand more about their presenters. That's why I am a 96fm and ABC listener!

Spot on

He and Chris were great mates, from all reports came to visit him twice during the day to try and lend a hand. Organised a drug test from the docter very early in the morning to stop the accusations coming thick and fast, but that didnt stop them did it?

Cousins has done nothing wrong here except try and help out, and now has lost a close mate and mentor. Maybe the media should concentrate on remembering Mainy and not that Ben was there earlier in the night!

LOL, what the Australian media concentrate on remembering a bloody good footballer instead of digging up crap re Cousins etc etc, yeah that'd be the day...

From todays Age:

Cousins visited Mainwaring twice on Sunday.

He left his house about 10pm, 90 minutes before ambulance officers were first called. Cousins, who battled his own drug addiction this year, was drug-tested on Monday and returned a clean sample.

http://realfooty.com.au/news/news/cousins-talks-to-police-about-mainwaring/2007/10/03/1191091193751.html

Hopefully this might stop some posters on here posting "Italian suppositories" on Cousins....
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

OK - perhaps I'm mean and oversuspicious, but did someone watch him pee in the bottle and make sure that was the sample tested?

Hey matey that's standard druggie ploy number one, but they get away with it often because people are careless.
