  • i can't help but think he cheated his way to legendary status.

    i saw him play one day day and he ran so hard he threw up on the sidelines then continued to have a blinder of a game.

    i know he's not the first footy player to throw up while playing but we a the public were unaware of his drug problem at that time and i thought to myself "he's on drugs'.

    his face was pale as a ghost most of the game before he threw up.

    amphetamines can be performing adhancing!

  • Gee he's doing well for himself now isn't he?

  • carlton supporter here.. Cousins is one of the best midfielders i have ever seen. Watching cousins, judd and kerr destroy teams was a pleasure to behold. Never seen a player with the endurance and stamina of benny. Thanks for the memories cuzzy, we miss you.

  • One of the best players of the moden era... Not a fan of either of his clubs but he is a legend!!! Love you Ben.

  • Cuzzy was always and will always be a legend.

  • stick with the plays...not all the drug media hype, who honestly gives a shit what the guy did in his spare time.... farken try the same shit on Keith Richards or any other entertainer who'se had drugs

  • Go cousins

  • great vid for a great player. Cousins is definitely up there with Ablett and Judd as one of the great players of the decade.

    it's a tragedy his off field actions tarnished his career.

  • Players like Judd, Ablett, Swan etc. Can make something outta nothing(busting through packs etc). But when benny boy got the ball it was more than that, he made magic happen, he revolutionised the game. I doubt im going to be alive to witness a greater player.

  • Tom Rockliff for the brisbane lions, just won our B&F, glad we didn't get cousins!

  • Some of those Vs St Kilda highlights could of been left out..

  • Great tribute, to possible the greatest player I have ever seen. Whenever he got near the ball you could sense something was about to happen. He was the gift that kept on giving, a remarkable player and person.

  • absolute legend

  • i miss him :( <3

  • 2:38 was inspring

  • why was kevin sheedy in it?

  • @wcefan100 From memory, I think it's because he was one of the big names really trying to push for the AFL to allow Cousins to return.

  • Comment removed

  • Music was sh!t but when you watch that it doesnt matter.

    Benno you had it all and then it went BANGGGG!!!! so sad to see this from such a talented palyer.

  • this perfectly describes the legendary career of the great west coast/ tigers phenomonem

    cousins pride!

  • cousins by far the greatest player ever to play the game

  • @blakehelyar5 Ummmm no

  • i guess cousins and west coasts time was up, you know every team rises and then falls again and i guess it was geelong's ime to rise after the west coast and sydney era.

  • Drugs killed his football career. He was my favorite football player even though i barrack for northmelbourne. No matter what happens to cousins, he is a superstar and always will be. Ben Cousins will live on. He had the roughest life as an elite athlete but such is life.

  • His team is full of male models, whereas North Melbourne is full of streeties

  • dammit Ben why did you have to do it, we could still be dominating the AFL

  • Ben cousins > Chris Judd

  • @Aussie21Legend man i miss the days west coast had cousin's kerr and judd!!!!!!

  • Wesley College just pumps out the best footy players :)

  • drugs, including alcohol are a health issue and not a criminal one. drugs are mostly used as a social lubricant. if you can be social without the need to take drugs then you are among the few, especially when young. most people take drugs. alcohol is the main and obvious one. the other drugs are demonised mainly because of their underground character. some people call people who take drugs weak. weak because they can't enjoy life without drugs. maybe that is true.

  • @tubingtheworld Such a true statement, I wish there were more insightfull comments like this on youtube.

  • man i miss seeing this man play. :(((

  • fuck i muiuss seeing this man play. :(((

  • Too bad he took drugs, could have had another Brownlow to his name and been a Premiership captain, at the very least, but good on him anyway

  • you give a good looking bloke all the money the and make him the captain at the age of 22 its no wounder he thought nothing could stop him at that age to have all he did it would go to just about any 22 year olds head i blame the eagles for not addressing it sooner before the shit hit the fan they knew he was not quite right they just ignored it coz he was playing great footy i love the eagles but they could of helped him before it was too late

  • used to be my hero as a kid until i discovered what ice is :(

  • best player ever

  • Another footballer who thought his fame would last forever. Did nothing to inject any longevity to his career. He will be a poor, sad old man one day who wondered what happened to his life.

  • @MultiRoydon hes still an absolute legend mate no matter what anybody says

  • @MultiRoydon kind of funny that hes still making a fortune and that he is better than ever down at tigerland helping them boys out.

    not such a poor old man mate, get ya facts right insted of assuming

  • @azza13mad You didn't read my post very well.

  • @MultiRoydon you are so wrong mate

  • @MultiRoydon along with his brownlows, premierships, all australians, club best and fairest and children. yeh wondering what happened to his life. what the fuck have you done your just a chump bag of shit

  • @tuedaye settle down sweetheart.

  • drug addiction is a disease, Ben helped show it can grab anyone anywhere, I admire him, I too am a warrior, LOVE ya Ben, what a man, Im no wce or tigers fan, but ben's a tuff cookie

  • He's an idiot for obvious reasons but when you watch footage of him (Particularly with WCE) he is just a freak. So quick, unstoppable.

    And when I say he's an idiot, I only mean because I hate the idea of drug use. But I know a lot of people use drugs just like he did/does? its just hard when everyone expects him to be a role model. People dont seem to realise how young he was when all this started.

  • Comment removed

  • greatest player ever to play A.F.L, it's a shame he had a drug addiction and missed alot of football

  • This tribute gave me goose bumps...Cousins u are a true legend of the GAME!!! I am neither a Tigers or Eagles fan but love you as a player.

  • is that sign at 0:27 real

  • ben cousins will always be a legend <3

  • that video made me jizz in my pants

  • 1 of the best players off the 20th century

  • Read his book, Cousins has more character, self discipline and balls than all of these self righteous,do-gooder, insipid, sycophantic arse licking critics will ever have

  • @midcitygym If that was true he would have quit with the drugs the first time and not have been sacked. He is still one of my favourite players but if he really was so self disciplined he would have gotten off the drugs long before the Eagles had to fire him, he had so many chances.

  • ben cousins is a freak its a sad story but in a way a good one

  • wish i had 1% of his talent, skill & passion,he has his flaws but so do we all

  • The afl just fucked him over. However you can do a Jeff Farmer go home and bash your wife and it`s all good??

  • @gingmo1 Agreed! If u get a 3rd strike it should not mean being outed by the media and his addiction dragged thru the public. It should just mean stronger AFL influence in his rehabilitation and support. Things might have been different for him the club and the whole issue of drugs in the AFL if it was not handled the way it was. Cousin u were just the example the AFL made of ur situation. Shame on u and shame on allowing a persons medical history to be publicly open

  • Ben Cousins is only famous because of his legendary nights out on the drugs and shit. He's not even good at footy, he only won the brownlow because of Judd.

  • @thesnuggery i think its the other way around

  • @thesnuggery you dribble shit mate.

  • @thesnuggery

    Haha, you dick.

  • this is such a stupid sport

  • @lionelmessi373 fuck off cunt.

  • JAFA

  • Those drug laws should NEVER apply to Brownlow winners and anyone with 200+ games

  • I dont even follow afl on a basis but this video is sick, go cousins

  • cousins is a cockhead

  • @meakd your a cockhead

  • @meakd only cause ya mom, sister and girlfriend want to bang him but there too UGLY

  • Good vid mate, cheers for the upload!

  • @InformationMinister you can go down to the kings cross to watch him in action.

  • When I ruled the world with my drugs :)

  • what happened

  • The best WCE player in history.

  • This clown may have been a star professional footballer .. but, he's an AMATEUR HUMAN BEING. The poor schmuck .. what massive life-lessons he still has to learn, that all still lay ahead of him. Dunno why Channel 7 wasted so much air-time + money on this dysfunctional chronically-ill addict & buffoon. He needs urgent rehab even more desperately than poor Matt Newton does. He'll learn tho .. however it'll now just have to be THE HARD WAY .. when he ends up a beggar in the gutter ...

  • @colindominy Hello Colin I believe the last time I came across you was in a recent political forum where you were denegrating Tony Abbott and championing the Labor party...nice to see you know as much about addiction as you do about politics...dimwit!

  • @colindominy HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA talk about amateur human being your the one on youtube trying to be a hero with your big words and huge waste of space on this guys channel. cant wait till this bites you on the ass.

  • respect.

  • i still remember ben cousins first game back after his Drug ordeal, and played again at eagles for a few more game. When he came on he was cheered and everyone was so happy for him.

  • @Deaththrea10 me 2

  • The best player of this generation

  • Cousins is the perfect team mate.

  • Ben Cousins-The AFL's answer to LINDSAY LOHAN!

  • @madkunt92 - fukin well said

  • OH GET A LIFE ooooh im a druggy i think its al about me n bein self destructiv n boo hoo always havn a drama n a sob story keeps the focus on me cas im an atention whore, pahleas id rather watch re runs of neighbours from 500 yrs ago than anythin 2 do with this crap fo heavens sake a self indulgent over paid over hyped ego maniac obviously neva learnd tuf luv or the sayin GET OVER YASELF i hate footbal its a disgustin sport a bunch a pig behavin men with ego probs over paid to kik a stupid bal

  • @hewfish1980 oi cunt, suck a dick, if you dont like footy keep it to yourself cos theres plenty of people who do like it, and as if you know the half of how hard it is to give up a drug addiction as big as cousins, and its not a cry out for attention its called the media gettin involved in everyones business, so shut the fuck up, as if you can say anything about cousins, your a nobody who no one cares if you live or die, who probly lives at home with his mum

  • @madkunt92 The only comeback you braindead dumbfuck footy following wankers have got is to tell any haters of your heros that they are nothing because they havent acheived a high public profile as a sportsperson.It really reflects your lack of intelligence and highlights the whole problem of how society over-idolises sportsmen. And as for the media getting into everyones business-if a smart arse cocky player wants to live by the media, he can die by the media when he fucks up.

  • @imowtflol The response you wrote to madkunt 92 shows the lack of intelligence you have starting a sentence with and. Maybe you are the braindead dumbfuck?

  • @hewfish1980 Well said. Fuck the footballers and their stupid brain dead supporters who spend the weekend sitting around the TV wasting their life following the football. What did you do last weekend-watch da footy. Get a life fuckwits.

  • @imowtflol we love the footy you enjoy your fathers cock in your mouth. whatever floats your boat man

  • Doesnt matter what anybody says about him, his history as a footy player speaks for itself.. Brownlow Medallist, 6 time All Australian, AFLMVP award, Premiership Medal, 4 time best and fairest at WCE and he played in the International Rules Series.. Can't deny them stats.. and u can match them against Ablett jr or whoever else.. Not many can match that.. In the end hes a LEGEND

  • @Hizam86 That record matches Ablett's but Cousins was a better leader, role model and the true heart and soul of the West Coast Eagles. Judge admitting that Cousins was the spiritual leader in the 2006 season. Even his short term in Richmond he was 110% committed and Newman also mentioning that Cousin being around helped him in being a better captain and that the young boys at the club hanged by every word. Eagles greatest player and i'm sure he wont b forgotten at Richmond leaving his mark.

  • great vid..good work!

  • Ya, i think they could get another year out of Bent Cousins...

  • Awesome vid. Cuz is a ledgend of the game and always will be.

    One of the most courageous and best leaders in the AFL

  • he will never be as good as he was at west coast

  • Comment removed

  • legend.

  • All those idiot 15 year old chicks who supported the Eagles purely because of Juddy and Cousins... LOL that shit fell through, didn't it...

  • @presidentelliot lol yeah, bigtime

  • one of the greatest playerssss

  • great video. Ben Cousins will always be one of the greatest Eagles ever.... no matter what jersey he wears

  • Every time I see him play, you just know he should still be holding that number 9 at West Coast. He and Wirra were the heart of our team.

    He should be remembered for his football brain rather than his off-field habits.

  • @KorruptSnake no, I remember him for his off-field habits

  • @KorruptSnake

    Too bad you guys dropped him like a bad habit...

    oops... pun intended. LOL

  • drugs

  • What a awesome midfield the eagles once had.

  • ben cousins should leave richmond and get re drafted by west coast eagles

  • they should make a movie about ben cousins, its actually a great story. sam worthington?

  • is the pic at 0:27 actually real?

  • He gunned last night against Carleton, too bad they lost. :)

  • Without any injury disruptions to his season. Cuzz should be richmonds best and fairest

  • cousins was a legend hes now fading away he was most dominant in west coast

  • go the tigers the BEST team in history and go cousins for 2010 we rule all tigers fans

  • @coolmj2 I strongly,yet peacefully disagree. but ok

  • too fav. cuzins & coldplay

    well done :)

  • i want to cuz in and around me.

  • those were the days for him

    those were the days

  • COUSINS IS A FUCKING GUN ! HE'll BE COME THE BEST IN 2010!

  • @ICookiesRunescape haha early call, not very accurate :)

  • cousins or kerr

  • As much as I love Kerr, You would pick Cousins in his prime over Kerr at his peak... Cousins used to carry West Coast in the early 00's... Kerr just hasnt had that impact as the main midfield man... with the exception of the first game against Sydney ( First game after Judd and Cuz left )

    idk if anyone remembers the game against Port i think 98 at port....

    he pretty much won the game on his own...

  • @flipdayv Are u serious..!?!?!

    Kerr is fuck all!!

    If Cousins actually wanted to take a dump on Kerr then Kerr should feel honored..!

    Kerr was made to look good by both Cousins & Judd.

    Now he has been exposed as a mediocre midfielder who would have trouble getting a game anywhere else..

  • @AnvilOfKrom kerr is a jet, you look at the years cousins judd and goods won their browlows he was 1-4 votes away every year whilst getting suspended round 15-18 each year and was no longer getting votes as he was inelligable, he would have won 3 in a row if it werent for that, im not having a go at you im just saying that needs to be recognised, he had the most amount of votes for those 3 years combined out of the 3 of them. cousins will be remembers as one of the best afl players and leaders.

  • @AnvilOfKrom That is pretty true, but i feel sorry for kerr, west coast expect him to carry the midfield all on his own, he needs someone to help him, i mean if geelong didn't have bartel, corey, ling, selwood, chapman, enright and wojinski, then ablett would not be dominate either.

  • @zomeza12

    Thats a big "what if" call, once you omit 7 of Geelongs premiership players..

    Take 7 players of that calibre out of ANY team & see what you have left..

    You cant seriously compare Kerr to Ablett on that basis.

    Ablett makes the play.

    Even when Kerr had the dynamic duo of Judd & Cousins with him he was basically little more than a play assistant.

    BTW, who are the Gold Coast & GWS chasing again?

    I tell you it aint gonna be Danny Kerr.

  • @AnvilOfKrom Well i never heard that ablett would go to gws, but yeah Kerr is nowhere near as good as ablett, all i'm saying is that without support, any midfielder will struggle. Kerr, may not have been elite a few years ago, but he still was a good player, but now with nobody to help him, he isn't.

  • You da man Benny.

  • most amazing player ever

  • shows he can have a normal social life and still be a freak at footy good on the cunt.

  • @aussieboxer7 u call being a heavy drug addict normal?

  • Nice montage. I'm glad he played on.

    You can learn a lot from him.

  • @EditNinja agreed :)

  • Ben Cousins was, and still is amazing.

  • @AFLife18 agreed :D

  • MARGARET POMERANZ: I'm giving this half a star. It is truly dismal.

    DAVID STRATTON: Apalling. I'll give it one.

  • your shit,

    he was an awesome player, and he came back from hard times,

    shut your Fukn face retard

  • shut ur fucking piehole...His a brownlow medalist . I.e one of the greats

  • U still rule the world benny go the tigers

  • lol at 2:40 he beats 2 of em!!

  • Is Ben Cousins still playing Pro AFL?

  • I've been behind cuzzy.. i was sick of people doubting him.. i salute him for coming back with such strength to footy.. even if he not with the eagles anymore (GO THE EAGLES) but nah congrats to cuzzy

  • H'e such a fucking freak of a player!!!
