Breaking News. Cousins has been taken to Epworth in an unconscious state. Believed to be a reaction to sleeping tablet.

Hold those comments Redleg.

He has played good footy the last few weeks. Hopefully nothing close to what you are suggesting.

Of course it's more sinister than a sleeping tablet - it's Ben Cousins we're talking about. Look at all the problems he's had.

Still feel sorry for him though, thought he was past it.

Please be careful with the inuendo people. Richmond Football Club will make a statement this afternoon.

Let's leave it at that at the moment and no more speculation.

Well said guys!!

id suggest locking it til a statement (fact ) is made

Agree- it is unbelivable how people jump to conclusions.

I wish him the best.

It doesn't matter what it is.

I wish him well for a full recovery & hope he can keep his AFL career going as well.

He needs a bit going his way, not to mention his parents & loved ones.

I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Ben Cousins (probably because he is drool-worthy ), so I wish him all the best in his recovery.

Drug addiction is hard at the best of times, let alone when you are under such an intense spotlight. This may or may not be at all related, but I think he has made some pretty big in roads in his recovery (or so it seems from the outside), so I hope this isn't going to set him back.

Horrible turn of events for the RFC. The mid season revival can be somewhat credited to the way Ben Cousins has led this team of kids.

I wish him a speedy recovery, and do hope there is nothing further to read into it.

And I'm closing this topic as I would like to keep Demonland going into the future.
