[@michelleadams5649]

Watching this right now and I cry 😔 A child sports prodigy with no anonymity in a crazy football state. Seemingly all too available is the attraction of elite football as his father says, paradoxically it becomes Bens ultimate challenge. But I agree mostly with all the medical pros now and my understanding of drug use and addiction. His brain is probably beyond repair, therefore his reality is distorted physiologically only to sustain the high needed to function. Incredible consumption in his admittance has to be absolute hell. His life will end in tragedy. I love you Ben 💕 Thank you for the years of brilliance even though I now I somehow feel complicit in your public demise as you did well , we loved you and were quickly to dismiss you when another incident occurred as the years of drug abuse took it's toll. I hope too you find the boy in you enough to dig deep to find peace healing, love, strength wherever you go in your life.

[@kristyflynn5839]

I will always stand behind Benny no matter what has happened. The media have a funny way of blowing things out of proportion to make things bigger than they really are.

I will back him 100% and no one has the right to judge his addiction unless they have been there themselves or in a similar situation. Proud of you Ben for standing up and sharing your story xox

I have the privilege of knowing Ben personally, for a Brownlow medalist and premiership player he is extremely humble and down to earth. His achievements during his spectacular career are ones most of us can only dream of. He is retired from footy so his life should now be left private, yet the grubs that are the media keep putting such unimportant events such as failed drug tests on the news so people can sit in their little safe bubbles and vicariously make judgements about him without knowing the facts about why he chooses to make the choices he does. He even says himself if you make your bed, you lie in it. To the fake media who make these menial stories to sell pathetic gossip magazines and news, leave Ben the fuck alone.

I think the ice was a performance enhancer

[@jordankatsaros296]

as a Richmond fan I remember how much excitement we had and he had flashes of brilliance in a team that was shockingly poor

[@davidhughes6]

His life has been one very big party. Amazing story. Nothing wrong partying but when you are causing your family this amount of pain then at some point you have to grow up and beat your addiction. This is very hard for an addictive personality. i know, i was an addict for a long time too. Like the man said in this doco "Ben needs to find inner peace". Thats the crux of the issue right there.

[@888alp]

Its so sad, I hope ben gets out of the vicious cycle 💕

[@futureoutfit]

that got really intense, I never suspected how sad that would be. Pity the media are such dogs

[@Tubetalkwizard]

An AFL great forever! Well done Benny! I remember seeing u and meeting u in a seedy scene or social circle end of 99 in subi, before all the hype- sometimes you can’t help what your surrounded with. Take care

[@Tubetalkwizard]

@M ok cool. Personally I’m a rugby fan 🏉

[@RomarioFouardo]

There is something missing that helps to cause this type of drama every now and then, especially with the dedication of people to their lives and everything in it like Ben, this thing is putting the person in the right place when approaching the end of playing, psychologically to the player when he reaches the height of his glory during the game , And all these people and media heading towards him, suddenly faced with his own fate, must be something suitable alternative, so he knows how important to us as Adami first and then as a player history will register his name in this country.

[@RomarioFouardo]

Damn, some photos of him reminding of Tom Cruise

[@Sucka4Love1986]

Romario Ozmandos couldn’t agree more

[@nathanhill4458]

[@adamb605]

Good doco but who let that devil Caroline Wilson on here to speak? May Benny n all addicts find some form of peace.

[@Shuffler304]

hope all is well for this legend

[@strke69]

A very sad story I hope for Ben especially he can get his life finally back on track & no doubt for his kids also & his family as they're obviously such a great one who care so much about him:)

[@jarrad2028]

The problem is that drugs change the structure of the brain to the point that you don’t care about anything in the world accept for that drug. It’s kind of like gambling drunk 😵

[@glasshalffull8471]

In My Opinion He Is The Best Player We Have Ever Had At W.C,Better Than Juddy,Peter Matera A Close 2nd.......Ben Had It All Looks,Talent,WA Football Royalty.......It Was As If It Was Too Good To Be True.......It Sometimes Takes Years To Outgrow The Drugs,As Of Late 2018 He Is Struggling......I'm Betting He Wins In The End.

[@justinzhang6883]

Met him multiple occasions, a nice lad. What a coincident, he just got release from jail today and this documentary is recommended to me. I don’t think he is competent to any league, but he may make his way into television as he is still favor by many Western Australian.

[@MegaCash27]

Always loved Benny

[@marcc5353]

Seems like a lot of ppl got rich from him playing well (manager, afl)....n its like as long as he was performing, ppl were willing to overlook the drugs. Its like they were enablers, inadvertedly. His fam seem like good ppl, feel for them...n it was up to Ben to do the right thing by them.

[@Sukuzov]

This documentary should be titled. "such is ice"

[@lukemate2783]

Best midfielder of all time. Unstoppable on and evidently off the field

[@travisstewart3879]

thanks shooter williamson!

[@pspa5502]

You fooled them all great work 5 stars.

[@donherley1811]

His ex has just been charged with drug driving. Is it too early to remove the children from her care? The whole episode is a train wreck.

[@15taraz]

don herley she is the main reason he keeps relapsing

[@Bevtone]

Thanks Basil

[@mrzoukdotcomzouklambadaboo8212]

You're a legend no matter what.
