WHILE everyone else contemplates what thefuture holds for suspended AFL superstar Ben Cousins the man himself said hewould be making no decisions until well into 2008. The day after being banned for 12 months bythe AFL Commission for bringing the game into disrepute the Brownlow medallistmet his management team to discuss where life and football may take him next. And while Cousins was due back in Perth on Tuesdayafternoon a statement released through Flying Start reiterated Cousins' desireto return to the AFL in 2009. "I will be keeping myself in goodshape to ensure I give myself every opportunity of returning to the AFL in2009," Cousins said in the statement which went on to say no decision onhis playing future would be made until well into 2008. "A range of opportunities have arisen.. they will be considered by Flying Start over the next few months," thestatement read. "We ask that you respect Cousins'privacy as he continues with his rehabilitation and regains full health. Despite Cousins' drug addiction leading toa year's ban from the AFL he is free to play in the WAFL. VFL or SANFL. A continued registration with WAFL club East Fremantle makes them early favourites to reviveCousins' career and league bosses who meet on Wednesday to discuss the issue,confirmed Cousins was eligible to play next year. "The commission is looking at what theprocess will be," Wayne Bradshaw chief executive of the WA FootballCommission said. "First of all we need to determinewhether he is keen to play or not. (We have had) general discussions (with East Fremantle) but I don't think their board has formeda view yet. "He has been a registered player sowe just need to look at all the implications of the AFL decision and theirruling before making a formal determination. "The commission won't be making adecision whether he can or cannot play (tomorrow) we simply we have to go bythe rules.. and the consideration the AFL have made yesterday. "The WAFL has a big tradition andhistory and we want to make it a vibrant competition and appealing toeveryone." Cousins played 10 games for the Sharks in1995 and 1996 picking up seven votes in the Sandover medal in the process. But with the club hinting they would beinterested in accommodating him if he wants play in 2008 fellow Brownlowmedallist and new Sharks coach Shane Woewodin was more guarded. "The AFL have only just made theirdecision the WAFL commission have not talked about it our board have nottalked about it and who knows what Ben wants to do," Woewodin said. But a possible return to the field,wherever it might happen was backed by the AFL Player's Association. "I think in the next 12 months he isgoing to have a lot of distractions with experts in drug rehabilitation,"Brendon Gale. CEO of the AFLPA told Southern Cross radio. "If they were of a view that theability to play football was an important part of his recovery then I think heshould. "But if they were of the view that itwould be contrary to that well perhaps he shouldn't."

The fallen Eagles star is understood to be considering suing his former club over his dramatic axing last month. Prominent legal advice suggests Cousins would have a solid case if he argued wrongful dismissal after the Eagles sacked him following his arrest in Perth last month. And US police announced yesterday that Cousins would not face any charges after it was alleged he went on a five-day cocaine binge in Los Angeles late last month. Cousins agreed to a substantial pay cut when he had his contract amended after his admission of a substance-abuse problem in March. But it’s understood the Eagles had agreed to pay him about $600,000 a year under his revised contract which expires at the end of 2009. The AFL Commission on Monday banned him for 12 months after it found him guilty of bringing the league into disrepute. Cousins who admitted a drug addiction problem after the commission hearing is still in Victoria but plans to start another rehabilitation program soon. Although the AFL has ruled Cousins can play for a lesser league or competition in 2008 both the VFL and the WAFL were reluctant to embrace him yesterday. The WAFL said it would review its rules before making a decision while the VFL said it would have to take several factors into account. The VFL operates under the AFL Victoria banner. VFL boss Peter Schwab said it would have to consult its stakeholders including the clubs. "We would have to take into account the AFL’s decision to suspend him," he said. "Finally. I guess we would have to take into account the best interests of the player. "Theoretically. I don’t think there is anything in our rules and regulations that would stop him being considered." Schwab conceded the VFL would not necessarily agree to Cousins playing if he made an application. Cousins’s original WAFL club. East Fremantle will discuss the possibility of him playing when directors meet next week. The likelihood of him playing at any level next year is slim and at this stage is low on his priority list. He has been told by his family and friends to get well before making any push to play at any level. It’s understood approaches have been made to Cousins about him considering endorsing some men’s products including aftershave. Modelling agencies have also said the physically fit Cousins would have no trouble making a significant living if he became a male model. Approaches have been made to Cousins to write a book while a lucrative offer has been made by at least one television station for him to tell all. Cousins has the option of returning to the AFL in 2009 if he overcomes his addiction. Although the Eagles have sacked him they won’t officially delist him until after Saturday’s national draft. The AFL would have to rule whether the Eagles need to include money in their salary cap if Cousins was compensated for his sacking.

While everyone else contemplates what the future holds for suspended AFL superstar Ben Cousins the man himself said he would be making no decisions until come up into 2008. The day after being banned for 12 months by the AFL equip for bringing the game into disrepute the Brownlow medallist met his management aggroup to discuss where life and football may take him next. And after American police said they would not be pursuing drug charges against Cousins following his reported five-day cocaine eat the disgraced feature reiterated his wish to play in the AFL in 2009 - although no decision would be made until next year. “I ordain be keeping myself in good shape to ensure I give myself every opportunity of returning to the AFL in 2009,” Cousins said in a statement issued by his management affiliate Flying go away. The statement went on to say: “A range of opportunities undergo arisen … they will be considered by Flying Start over the next few months. “We ask that you respect Cousins’ privacy as he continues with his rehabilitation and regains full health.” Despite Cousins’ drug addiction leading to the AFL ban he is eligible to compete in express leagues such as WAFL. VFL or SANFL because his suspension was not related to an on-field incident. AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou said playing next year might be beneficial in Cousins’ rehabilitation and that the national competition would not stand in his way. Cousins’ continued registration with WAFL club East Fremantle makes them early favourites to revive his go and league bosses who meet tomorrow to discuss the issue confirmed Cousins was eligible to compete in 2008. “The equip is looking at what the process ordain be,” Wayne Bradshaw chief executive of the WA Football Commission said. “First of all we be to cause whether he is keen to play or not. (We undergo had) general discussions (with East Fremantle) but I don’t think their board has formed a view yet. “He has been a registered player so we just be to be at all the implications of the AFL decision and their ruling before making a formal determination. “The commission won’t be making a decision whether he can or cannot compete (tomorrow) we simply we have to go by the rules … and the consideration the AFL undergo made yesterday. “The WAFL has a big tradition and history and we want to make it a vibrant competition and appealing to everyone.” East Fremantle where Cousins played 10 games in 1995-96 have hinted they would be interested in accommodating him but new Sharks coach Shane Woewodin was more guarded. “The AFL undergo only just made their decision the WAFL equip have not talked about it our board have not talked about it and who knows what Ben wants to do,” Woewodin said. “There is a lot of water to go under the bridge yet.” Both the SANFL and AFL Victoria which oversees the VFL today said they had not received an application from Cousins to compete. Both leagues said they would only discuss the air at come in level if Cousins applied. The VFL has been tipped the league more likely to accommodate Cousins should he opt for a fresh go away away from Perth however the AFL indicated not every VFL club would be a potential new home. Geelong and Collingwood will handle their own sides in the VFL next toughen which would most likely prevent Cousins playing with either as he cannot instruct with an AFL unify. The state leagues would most likely desire advice from the AFL if approached but Demetriou said the national competition would not encourage the second-tier competitions to abide by its decision. “In many ways and this is one of the things that was considered yesterday as move of Ben Cousins’ rehabilitation there is a lot of merit in him playing football again next year to assist in his rehabilitation,” Demetriou said. “But again that will be entirely up to (him to decide) where he wants to play and then up to league that he applies to … our rules don’t cover those leagues. “If he can (play) we won’t rest in his way. We’ve said that if it assists in his rehabilitation then good luck to him.” AFL clubs contacted were non-committal about the look of recruiting Cousins for 2009 given the fallen star must complete drug rehabilitation and regain beat health first. <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym call=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <label> <em> <i> <strike> <strong> : MC & Redb My main inform was that the AFL is no different to other major codes in the selling of its soul to TV for financial return.

THE IMMEDIATE playing future of suspendedformer Eagle Ben Cousins could be determined by a ruling from a state orcountry league with AFL impress Andrew Demetriou confirming the 29-year-old iseligible to apply to compete in a lower unify in 2008. Cousins was handed a one-year sanction bythe AFL Commission on Monday after being found guilty of bringing the game intodisrepute after a series of drug-fuelled offences. Demetriou said as the decision was made bythe Commission and not a tribunal. Cousins was able to apply to spend hissuspended year playing in another league. "That's a matter for the leagues (todecide). The suspension that was handed down to Ben Cousins was by the AFL,under the AFL rules and regulations which applies to the AFLcompetition," Demetriou said on Tuesday. "Having said that he can bear on toplay in other leagues whether they're express leagues or a country footballleague and it's entirely up to the board of those leagues under their rules. "For example they could have in theirown rules and regulations a code of conduct or a conduct-unbecoming rule. Itmight be aligned to the AFL's rules for example. "That's entirely up to Ben Cousins toapply for that through a league and then it's entirely up to the board of thatleague to grant him permission or contradict him permission under their rules andregulations." Demetriou said Cousins expressed a desireto play football again during Monday's hearing but didn't allude to whether hewould seek to start again immediately in a lower league. He also said the AFL wouldn't be advising otherleagues on whether to grant the fallen Eagle permission to compete but wouldoffer to examine their rules should Cousins apply. "We've written to the state leagues toenunciate what I've just described and that is they'll have to look at theirrules and regulations," he said. "We've offered to the VFL forexample to direct our eye over the constitution rules and regulations and if hechooses to compete in the VFL he'll bear on and it will be up to the board of AFLVictoria. "We won't be advising the leagues. Inmany ways and this is one of the things that was considered yesterday as partof Ben Cousins' rehabilitation; there is a lot of merit in him playing footballagain next year to assist in his rehabilitation. "Again that ordain be up to where hewants to play and then up to the league where he applies to play. Cousins is still not permitted to trainwith an AFL club and Demetriou said the Brownlow medallist has a "lot ofhurdles to go across".
