Hint - long-necked duck that goes...'HONK'.

(now where's that facepalm pic again?...)
[edit] - windaddict, you beat me to it.

...as for cousins - junkie-moron! For a very talented athlete...he's a loser - he doesn't want to give up the drugs, and he won't until he makes that decision.
...as for the cops - c'mon, go chase some 'real' baddies you guys!
...as for the media that continue to target him & are making a big deal out of it...got nothin', that's what they do & what they will always do!

if youve seen what the stuff does to people, physically, mentally and socially, and you still deny the influence it has on crime and the life of those around them, and still want to legalise it, you are an idiot. go to rehab.


Agreed, that stuff does untold damage and those that dont get to see it truly can't appreciate it until they have.

I can't but think that as he got caught with over 4 grams of meth (which is a lot) up his butt on the way to a rehab clinic:-
Bennie clearly wasn't ready for rehab.
He is either snorting huge amounts or, god forbid was taking the drugs to a rehab clinic to make some $$$?

Given his history the police wouldn't be stopping and searching him unless they had rock solid grounds to do so and they wouldn't do it on a whim.

Someone mentioned he skipped town after being arrested, going by the media over here he was arrested and bail to reside at the rehab clinic, once he got to the clinic they decided it wasn't the place for him, Bennie was re-arrested and his bail conditions varied with conditions to reside somewhere in Perth.

after posting bail he heads straight to the knoker shop, where else would you go. i'm intriguied by the statement from the dude at the bothel who claims that cuzzie couldn't come to an agreement with the hooker with regards to "certain services". My guess is that he thought there was still another few grams up his ar$e and he just wanted someone to go feltch it

I guess my comment about education didn't really click with some of y'all.

Imagine your the village idiot, and you and your fellow idiots hear about this driving thing.
You come about a HSV GT SE, you and your fellows mount the car, and you stomp on the accelerator
(it was already running).

You crash in to a house killing a baby, you suffer severe whip lash from the impact and air bag, your passengers suffer various injuries from a broken neck to broken noise.

The house has to be rebuilt, the car is a write off.

Your parents are on the hook for $800,000...

Now the village idiot goes around telling people how dangerous cars are, how they should be banned, and how it wreck so many lives.

.... from what you know about cars what does that make you think?

Well that is why we have laws that say you are not allowed to drive like a knobhead.

We also have banned drugs due to the harm they cause.

I think you disproved your own point with that analogy

In Australia swimming was banned during day light hours until the 20th Century... harm had nothing to do with it.

How exactly do drugs do harm??? Do they know martial arts? Carry guns?

They're inanimate, like a car...
You get somebody you is educated and knows what the substance does and he/she can use it properly.

You get the village idiot and ... well, you tell me what happens. I've only ever seen bad things with alcohol, the rest have been interesting.

Ben who?

Anywho...
What's wrong with having drugs?
Did he kill somebody?
Did he hurt somebody?
What he do?


What did he do ...well geez, broke the law?
Typical stoner - "oh he didnt hurt anyone" lets legalise it

Maybe you'd also be all for people who commit insurance fraud? I mean it doesn't hurt anyone, everyone in Australia only paid $1 extra on insurance last year. That's not much.

Hey what about flashing ya dingdong at the girls in the park. I mean if they are not upset then it should be legal right? Didn't really hurt anyone....

Ask Ben's family if they were hurt.



??insurance fraud, streaking, sorry mark what in the world do these have to do with the blokes drug addiction??

why don't you liken it to abusing police and stealing biscuits.

as for his family thats between ben and them.

bloody amazing footy player though! and lets face it that the only reason anyone gives a sh!t.

Alcohol and smoking are legal, have a look at the stats on the harm they cause.
Just because the the law says you can or can not does not mean it's good or bad.

^^^^^So true DunkO.
20 000 people in Australia die from smoking every year , but its still legal????And it harms innocent bystanders by second hand smoke,but still legal.
I guess cause the government makes squillions taxing cigis.
Kinda puts a damper on,,,,,drugs are band cause they cause harm.

Not to sure about being educated.

I went to a fairly high society type party(I didnt fit in) not too long ago.
Was all doctors,lawyers,wealthy bussiness owners.Well educated folk.

I have never seen that amount of drugs in one room.
And these were the people that we put our life in their hands.

I was watching the specialist surgeons that you pay mega bucks an hour for,thinking, holy crap Im glad Im not having heart surgery tomorrow.

It should say -

The disgraced ex-footballer was not taken into police custody today because he is an x-AFL player.
