    After reading that article expect more to come... Expect West Coast to go into massive damage control.

    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

  • Quote

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
