    Also Here . They don't mention the wet bit though. Maybe he was just sweaty from his running.

    Ben Cousins

    Some of the Wet Toast fans have a sense of humour. Have a look at the link to EaglesFlying High.

    Very funny.

    Let's just hop that it doesn't prompt Cousins to play out of his skin to show remorse and gain some kind of redemption!
    Half-right. Like most on-field champions (cf Ricky Ponting, Shane Warne, Carey etc), his off-field appalling behaviour will only spur him to greater heights on the field, at least in the short term.

    The problem is not with Ben Cousins' performance, which will almost certainly continue to be excellent. The problem is with team cohesion and politics; the difficulties will be compounded by with their #1 big man (and Cousins' best mate) in the bizarre limbo of remaining on the team list but being banished from training and hanging around the players' bar. The Weagles have still got plenty enough talent to make the top 4 at the end of the minor round, but in an even comp a huge number of things need to coincide for any team to win the permiership. No team can afford to start behind the 8 ball, and that's where the Weagles will be starting.

    If Cousins was not affected by alcohol, why make a big deal out of avoiding the booze bus. All that would have happened is he would have blown in the bag, and driven off, without much ado.

    Maybe he was affected by other substances. Why else would you panic, unless you have something to hide?
