west coast and their supporters have had a horrible time. this is very sad. after all of the problems with cousins, kerr and judd leaving and now this

I'm a superstitious type and I'm experiencing the shivers right now. I know this might sound a bit hard but Mainy wore the number 3 at WCE. Same number as Judd.

It's bad karma and the feeling I have in my bones is that we might be very lucky that Judd chose not to bring himself and that number of his to the MFC.

Judd never played with Mainwaring, but he must have been close, because apparently he's shattered by the news.

mainy

apprently he went on a massive binge of marjuana and ectasy , following marriage breakdown

and his wife Rani, grew tired of his relationship with cousins

It seems strange for him to drop dead from ecstasy. Ecstasy overdoses end up with hypothermia and if he was in this state he wouldn't have refused help they would have taken him anyway. Sounds GHB related to me but only speculation from information provided, If he had a heart attack count methamphetamine as the cause and Cousins being involved. What ever he was doing was not in moderation. So sad. If Cousins supplied the iCE count his footy career over

Please don't make this about Cousins. One of Mainwarrings best mates spoke on radio today and said this was definately not the case. Mainwarring was Ben Cousins' biggest shoulder to lean on during his tough time and wouldn't have kicked the drugs without him.

He said alot of good friends (including Cousins) new he was going through a tough patch so Cousins decided to take him out for a quite drink at a local bar.

They were said to have sat and talked about all the issues for a while. Cousins, not drinking. Then when Cousins took him home something else happened..... Please don't jump on Cousins.... anyone who thinks he is stupid enough to jump on drugs the first chance he gets will never understand what type of addiction he went through..... not assuming there are some people on here who have been through or know someone who was been through drug addiction.

That Fox Sports article contains an ominous last paragraph.

Mainwaring's death ends a disastrous year for West Coast, in which key players have been embroiled in off-field scandals.

Ends? They better start furiously touching wood; the year's not over yet.

You have to remember Methamphetamine is one of the most addictive compounds on the planet and it is a drug people can't kick very easily, Majority of Addicts relapse

Readily overlooked by most here Mick. Many would think its a couple of beroccas and she'll be right by lunchtime.

Whether Cousins has anything to do with Mainwaring death is neither here nor there.

But for Cousins to be in the situation he is in when he is apparently "rehabilating" is indeed worrying.

And what situation is that exactly?

From the reports I have read that would the horrifying situation of trying to help out a friend.......

This is after Mainwaring helped him out earlier this year. I mean what a bastard.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
