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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
