Ben Cousins was and will always be my favourite player to play the game, trained hard and was hard as nails and a gun on the field. It is unfortunate of the issues he has and is still experiencing but Benny was a legend of the game, never forget his times at West Coast
Ben was a great player. No denying that. How sad, however, that he ruined his career with substance abuse. He is lucky to have such supporting parents and mates. I hope that someday he is at peace with himself.
Cause people go into all bad things knowing they’ll get addicted. Never have sex, never have alcohol, never take medication, never have coffee, never watch porn, never eat food. Just be a good boy and know that if something can cause an addiction then it’s your fault if you ever took any. Get educated dickhead. She’s right, addiction doesn’t discriminate. He’s got an illness. The brain of addict works differently. This is proven. Will power doesn’t turn off addiction. Winehouse died from withdrawals.
i recently watched the 2020 interview with Ben Cousins. To be honest i was never a fan of his until I saw that documentary and finally realised the true struggles he was and is going through. In addition, the Australian media chewed him up and spat him out. That interview with Basil Zempilas was fucked, they made him look like a sideshow
euphoria2g, unless u knew cousins personally, how can u assume that Ben took drugs before a match and thats y it affected his footy positively. he took recreational drugs which is most likely on the weekends, not before a match.
i admire him for what he's done...got a problem and trying to get off it...simple. he's an amazingb footballer who gives 110% all the time often running himself ragged for the team...i wish him best of luck and hope he takes the tiges to a premiership. Carn the dockers
Thumbs up to BC for putting up with this shite about his personal lifestyle habits over and over and over from GL. Next we deserve to have Ben interviewing Gary about his past tax returns.
As someone who takes it every now and then, i can tell you he is. The low voice tone is a dead giveaway plus sounding a little raspy. Plus he looks like he is sweating a little. The deep breaths. Hes on it
Definitely not. This is him all the time. Watch interviews, the first doco etc . That’s his voice ffs, not sweating at all wtf?. He’s doing a model photo shoot, they put makeup on to highlight facial features. It looks more like a bronzing agent of some sort. And he’s breathing normally. Just doing an interview mate you must be on the gear watching this I’d say
he can afford to be arrogant from a football point of view, the off field drama is the only reason clubs are hesitating so far. Otherwise you'd be stupid not to recruit him! hope he can get himself right and return to being one of the best players the modern era has seen.
he couldnt feel lactic acid or any pain in his body thats why he was so good! he could run throw up then keep running. thats why he was so ripped he couldnt feel pain when he was doing weights
Couldn’t feel pain? Have you ever watched him play. He’s been hurt many times. Read his book too. He goes into detail the pain about in his body screaming at him to stop from the pain of running. Never failed a drug test in 14 seasons. He was a druggie away from sport and the evidence supports this. It’s not as if he was so above every other champ to ever play. He was elite but a drug cheat would be superhuman. Getting 40 every week. He averaged 25 and a goal a game in his best season and that just so happened to coincide with the age most players hit their prime. He deserves all his accolades. And if Wayne Carey says drugs would’ve made it harder i believe him. He actually took them and would know.
You could see here that he was never serious in thinking he had a problem. People are right he had a huge ego and thought he was above it all. Here he is talking about moving to Melbourne and starting at a new team, he said of it like he was a newly made celebrity moving to Hollywood and everyone would be benefited by his 'talent'. It's like he can't see that he makes wrong choices. Total Narc. No one has ever told him 'No'.
He was right. He went straight to Melbourne and got a new team. He’s obviously got an ego but a narc? Definitely not. Was a star from childhood to afl and became the country’s best player. Anyone would think they’re the shit being treated like that. Pretty much all star athletes and child movie stars too. He’s trying to put his life back together. Addiction is a disease, the only one where the sufferer is not given any empathy. Yes it was self inflicted at the start, although education wasn’t what it was in the 90s but a cancer sufferer can’t choose to not have cancer and an addict can’t choose to stop being addicted.
Gary: Do you want to play footy again? Ben: Yeah I’m not sure Fuck I hate famous people and their non answers. I’m surprised interviews are still a thing
@1995lukeya fucked up the club my ass, they fucked it up for themselves by getting rid of him, he is one of the best players to have played for the eagles and in the league. obviously not now but is still one of the best players with efficiency :)
He was never caught and never tested positive, he put his own hand up and admitted it himself. If he hadn't you would still know nothing about him using.

He was so good looking too!!
wake up -- that,s a pathetic statement .
Jack Allen -Agreed. Well said-I so want him to recover, I’m going to write a letter to him whilst he’s in prison.

And it goes to show that addiction doesn't discriminate.
If you make your bed you have to lie in it.

I will always love you Benny, No matter how many drugs you take. You rock!!!

Garry should know all too well about addiction as he's addicted to rooting his mates wife's
haha
Good call
Damn things only got tougher for him...
and more importantly he seems to be a great bloke too.
god it kills me to know how good he could of been if it wasn't for stupid fucking drugs! God dammit, Benny you were an inspirational footballer.
It didn’t really effect his footy
posted 3 years ago, and the video quality is still amazing
euphoria2g, unless u knew cousins personally, how can u assume that Ben took drugs before a match and thats y it affected his footy positively. he took recreational drugs which is most likely on the weekends, not before a match.
Look at him now
i'd love to see him finish off at the eagles but sadly i don't think it would ever happen, lord knows we could use him at the moment.
Mwaaaa...... to you Ben. Been on the ice too, so I know what its like. Ben, your too good for it👄
if i were him i would be too....best looking bloke ever to walk this earth :)
Read my comment again....I was referring to him training on drugs..Not being on drugs in a match.
i admire him for what he's done...got a problem and trying to get off it...simple. he's an amazingb footballer who gives 110% all the time often running himself ragged for the team...i wish him best of luck and hope he takes the tiges to a premiership. Carn the dockers

It's clear to see that Bens demeanour isn't one of confidence, but of insecurity and anxiety.
@whatskillihave he was born in Geelong but yes he is more so West Australian but my comment was towards Gary Lyon thats said back in Melbourne
Good work, was spewin i missed it
It's true though. Get good enough at almost anything, and you can do whatever you want.
best player in afl history
he’s my second cousin on my moms side
You’re really one of ‘Ben cousins’
Riz MKW my mom is
when is the documentary being shown?
does anyone know?
You look back at this and he was on the ice here.
don't think so

@@chrisd_85 yup! even his initial interview with when richmond by the media press he's clearly on it.
Its funny how Richmond fans hated Ben when he played for west coast and called him a drugie but now they love him funny that.
good message for the kids. if your good at footy, do whatever the fuck you want
Thanks for uploading the video :) Ben is hot
BENNY! Sick lad!

yeah he definately doesnt seem to be too desperate to play again.
Ben is so beautiful.

MMA Forever I know right it’s really sad actually

I have assurance with you Ben, i'd lay my house that you will come back to you're personal best. Prove'em wrong benn'o and mak'em stink!!!
Seriously who cares if Ben took drugs. He is a great footy player. Some people need to grow up.
Self discipline

Met him. Not arrogant at all but from a distance comes across that way. Really nice bloke, same with Juddy

Unfortunately, Sammy was right. 8:30.
Gary: Do you want to play footy again?
Ben: Yeah I’m not sure
Fuck I hate famous people and their non answers. I’m surprised interviews are still a thing

@1995lukeya fucked up the club my ass, they fucked it up for themselves by getting rid of him, he is one of the best players to have played for the eagles and in the league. obviously not now but is still one of the best players with efficiency :)
He was never caught and never tested positive, he put his own hand up and admitted it himself. If he hadn't you would still know nothing about him using.

Aussie rules is shit.Football that uses hands ! Fucking handball with a bit of running about.Only one country plays it,Enough said.
