Where do you start with this guy and what are the WEagles and AFL thinking letting him play again this season. Okay, so we know what the WEagles are thinking, oh s^*t we might not win without him and since we pay him so much we better get our money's worth, but the AFL?! If ever there is a professional sporting organisation that rules with the complete lack of authority as this bunch, well I've not been informed of them.
Cousins, decided he didn't want to talk to the cops when apparently behind the wheel after having a couple of sherberts (probably swan light shandy's by the looks of him!), which is an offence by the way (so is drinking swan light!). Then comes the drug saga, which is denied and then refuses all advances of help, but the thing that really stood out is the way he left for his stint in rehab, he left the airport with the airs and graces of one with not a trouble in the world and a smug look on his dial, which I'm sure a line of people a mile long would have lined up to smack off, that's how I felt. But wait, that was nothing compared with his triumphant return, that line of people just grew to all the way back to AFL HQ!
Then only weeks before a probable comeback he’s sighted out and about at some nightclubs, now he wasn’t drinking or doing anything silly but the fact that he put himself out there in the spot light when he really should be trying to lay low and concentrate on a successful return to the playing arena, I think tells us a lot about the type of guy he is, to me it shows he’s learnt nothing from his previous escapades and deserves nothing in return. Again this shows a lack of leadership from both the WEagels and the AFL that he is practically throwing it in there collective faces.
The other codes at least are trying to show strong leadership traits to their players, how must Wendell Sailor feel, he got two years out of sport for one indiscretion, maybe he should play AFL!
It really does seem as if the AFL has some problems with their players in general, and i noticed that the news last night carried another AFL story concerning a former Lions player and what looked like a pretty serious brawl, if the AFL received equal media coverage across NSW and QLD then I think we’d find that the AFL players are making the other codes look good.
I must admit that all this stupidity has made the WEagles the team I now love to hate and I hope the Dockers take over as the dominant team in the west.
Cheers
