    Ben Cousins Retirement Press Conference

    Ben Cousin's Press Conference today was very impressive from beginning to end. Off the cuff, remembered everyone he had to thank, sincere, thoughtful, no ums, ers or you knows, I mean he was seriously more coherent and more fluent than any politician I have heard over the last weeks.
    Well done Ben, I begrudged you in 2006, but I applaud you now. An amazing career.

    I like the man - then remember the cocky little &*$% waving his arm in circles on the dais in 2006. He wasn't the captain at the time because he did a triathlon from the police at the start of the year yet "Woosha" stood aside whilst he stood there with Juddy and OUR cup!! The only thing I can remember from that game, other than the Daniel Chick smother, Barry & Jude's misses, Malceski freaky goal - I am tearing at my retina's but the image still remains!

    No more disgraced former west coast criminal budgie "ex"-junkie.

    Damn.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

    A friend of a colleague of mine who knew him in Perth says that about him - very arrogant.

    and a nice little tornique bandage on his arm just above the elbow too. Hmmm wonder what he got at half time in the rooms. Remember the Brisbane fiasco?

    Almost a sign of sympathy there Annie.....

    Amazing how he's gone from no. 1 dickhead to heart-warming redemption story in a year.
