    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.

    The last thing the Eagles need this year is getting

    stitched up in a Chris Judd deal gone wrong.

    They are vulnerable.

    Cousins could have given him some advice to get over a bender or being awake for four days straight, Took some GHB to try get some sleep and bang he's dead

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

    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

    we shouldnt jump the gun, maybe cousins was trying to help, give some advice help him through and such. Hopefully he was anyway, i thought our year was bad how about the eagles?

  • Quote

    Police have interviewed Cousins for two hours tonight.. He also passed a drug test.

    But a test is a bit late on a wednesday when amphetamines are out of your system 3-5 days max considering he was with Mainwairing Saturday/sunday morn.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
