West Coast have to be the best club going around.

Winning flags on field, while their off-field activities sound like a ball!

    The West Coast Eagles have today suspended Ben Cousins indefinitely after he failed to attend training yesterday.

    Ben has failed to fulfill his commitments as a professional member of the West Coast Eagles team to such a degree that his current situation is untenable. When Ben has addressed his ability to commit to the required level, his situation will be reviewed.

    It is with great sadness and regret that the club has been forced to take this action against a much-loved champion who has served this club with great distinction for more than a decade.

    Chairman Dalton Gooding will be available for comment this morning at 10.15am outside the players' entrance at Subiaco Oval.

    heard on SEN

    apparenlty he didn't turn up for 9-30am training. Still wasn't there at 10am so they sent someone to pick him up and bring him down to the club. They asked him why he was late and he said, "mind your own business."

    Final straw i think.

    Mail is that he also missed the sunday am session after celebrating Braun's engagement the previous night. He found time however to attend the Guernsey Presentation later in the day. This is a fair lack of committment and indicates his interests lie elsewhere.

    West Coast has suspended former captain Ben Cousins indefinitely.

    The Brownlow Medallist has been suspended for breaking team rules after missing a weights session on Sunday morning, chairman Dalton Gooding confirmed today.

    "Ben has a number of very personal and private drug issues which the club is helping him to work through," Gooding said.

    Gooding said the length of the suspension was not set, but could be as long as the entire season.

    Throughout the suspension, Cousins will not be able to train at the club. This is a similar punishment to that handed out to Michael Gardiner last year before he was sacked by the club. Cousins will not be playing for his WAFL club, East Perth, this weekend.

    Gees, that is a massive blow.

    His stupidity may just cost West Coast another chance at a flag.

    Although, I very much doubt he'll play the whole year in the WAFL. When it comes down to it, West Coast's first priority is winning games, and Cousins is one of their best players.

    What a shame that his money, fame and good looks can't buy him some brain cells.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
