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.

The message is, if you f*** up, people will be ready to lynch you over everything else.

Good on him and i feel that 10 didn't need to show him doing it. I believe in DILLIGAF and that is what i felt when i listened to the radio, and read the paper and watched the news. Who really gives a F**K. Ben flipped the bird, Ben did this when will it end or in next weeks papers will we read about Ben taking a dump in a public toilet?

5 pages on one finger???

Jeez... he's done a lot worse in his time than that...

Fine him, then move the spotlight onto Plough.

He deserves some praise for his last week on the job (as a coach ;) )...
