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

Here is the latest update:
http://au.news.yahoo.com/latest/a/-/lat ... alth-unit/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.
Doctors treating Cousins, committed the 33-year-old after he showed no sign of improvement following more than four days in Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital.

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.

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.
