Front Bar - Ben Cousins segments

The Ben Cousins segments of the Front Bar.

[@DeadlyPants123]

Watching this with a big smile on my face

[@ohhreally92]

Just caught myself with a huge grin aswell haha

[@BigNateD23]

Same bro👌❤️

[@domainiac]

So happy Ben is in a good place. Long may it stay that way

[@Humanityiscomedy]

Dockers FAN here, don't care what anyone thinks or says. Noone moved around a footy field more graciously than this guy. He is the GOAT

[@alistairmills7608]

I'm a Hawk, Cousins was electric, dangerous like a brand new razor blade, could turn on a dime and once he pinned the ears back near goal, put down the glasses, Goodnight Irene. He's been through hell too. Much respect for Cousins with all he's gone through especially when the TV Stations stuck the boots into him and marketing and vilifying the drug drama like a Soap Opera without firstly care for the humanity ..

[@Humanityiscomedy]

@swarti2036 only because the average kid couldn't afford the lawyer, your commenting on something you know nothing about, one thing i have learnt about the law system it's all about the money ypu have to spend on the lawyer, I know people who have been charged with big quantities of drugs who have money for the lawyer that get less time than a poor kid who can't afford the lawyer. You can get away with any crime if you have the money for the lawyer to free you your time.

[@Humanityiscomedy]

@@swarti2036 sorry that wasn't meant or directed at you, the person it was directed at seems to have removed their comment. I'm sorry champ 👍

[@Vatoslocos86]

Ben was one of a kind absolute freak Harley reid will never fill his boots 🤙🤙

[@shadowwarrior7218]

One of the GOATs, glad to see he is healthy and happy.

[@swarti2036]

Privileged is the word ! You did 1/20 of Ben’s crime and you would still be in prison ! Not a good look !

[@stanadams5541]

Ben cousins forever a hero in Perth no matter his personal struggles in life 😊

[@djtridium]

It’s not only great to see Ben back and looking good but it’s also great to see all the love and support he’s received in the comments section ❤. He’s been and may always be my favourite Footy player of all time so watching this was a pleasure

[@BatesonBen]

Never comment on these. I'm so so so f**king glad that Benny is killing it again. He seems like such a genuine, likeable guy. He was an absolute superstar on field, and obviously let down but a few bad choices, but what a come back. He surely needs to be a beacon of all that needs inspiration for those struggling with substance abuse. Cheers Benny, what a legend

[@ohhreally92]

That highlight reel is one for the ages. When he splits those two Adelaide players in the final and hits the forward. Beautiful to watch.

[@pauldizzly]

Magic!

[@Mynamenotjeff95]

Not that it's any of our business, but I'd love to know what switch flicked in Ben's head to finally make the changes he needed to live with some stability... It's such a shame that the last insight we got into his life was that horrendously directed Basil Zempilas documentary when he was still quite clearly affected by drugs... He really does look like he's turned his life around and I think any reasonable person that knows about Ben and his journey couldn't be happier for him.

[@Swwa89]

He finally realised he had been given so many chances and continually stuffed them up that he had to go on the straight and narrow!!! As a huge Eagles and Ben fan I'm so glad he has done so but he did let alot of people down and I believe he is showing how grateful he is by using this last chance positively!!!!

[@Mynamenotjeff95]

@Whitto204 Well it didn't the first or the second time... Glad it was three times the charm though

[@Sheppo42]

Are you saying the Such is Life documentary was Basil? I was 18 at the time and I tell you what that documentary was only detrimental to our lives.

[@Mynamenotjeff95]

@@Sheppo42 no, I’m not saying that at all as (thank god) Basil had nothing to do with that. I’m saying the one that came out in 2020 and exploited someone who was clearly still very affected by drugs

[@unknown24242424]

Go Benny, well done The Front Bar.

[@trutheretic]

great to see him healthy and happy

[@Riku006]

Was my favourite player growing up. So glad to see he’s doing well, and deserves to be in the AFL hall of fame

[@astonishedhoplite2510]

He looks great!!

[@jackwitcombe765]

One of the all time greats. My childhood idol.

[@John-kl3ue]

Looking great Benny ..

[@patwaddington]

As a massive Swans fan it was a great rivalry we had with West Coast and it’s great to see him doing so well.

[@timhunter7441]

Grew up idolising Ben as a massive eagles supporter. He was just unreal to watch and always told people when asked who my favourite player was, the answer was always Ben. Great to see you turned your life around mate you’re a legend of the AFL and should be in the hall of fame in my opinion. Cheers

[@desleyroberts8674]

Great to see Ben Cousins on this show , I can't wait to see him on Dancing with the Stars , ❤🎉

[@MrWitho]

Amazing. Well done Benny 👍

[@unknown24242424]

Thanks for uploading.

[@danielcorbett3294]

Just goes to show, you can't keep a good man down. Respect.

[@leontassone5201]

Gr8 to see him doing well One of the all time stars

[@DidsDelight]

He was a sensational player! One of the greats. One of the last of the duel sided midfield era who could kick goals on his left from 50 and hit a forward lace out on his left as well

[@granthayes1872]

Outstanding... So good to see you back and looking and speaing so well etc 💪

[@danielleoeding2880]

Good on you Ben, takes alot of work to turn things around. You look great, sound great and I'm really happy for you and your family. All credit to you ❤.

[@cheech6234]

So happy to see him doing good!!

[@smcd7779]

So f’n happy to see Ben back 🥳🎉

[@tonysobevski9961]

Yeah, great to see him well hey.. well done Ben , get your life back on track.. champion on and off the field.. we're all not perfect and he never harmed anyone.. Young fella , just enjoying life .. like we're all meant to do..

[@mjthomas8824]

DV nothing?

[@conordunne8379]

glad he’s back happy and healthy

[@asher4219]

lovely to see him in a good place - welcome back Benny

[@stevechuy1969]

When will we see more of Ben, what a player he was awesome. Looks fresh and healthy how does he do it?!

[@jimlaw8199]

Never underestimate Andy Maher's ability to make any potentially great interview awkward and painful. Even when he's given scripted questions!

[@mattmurphy5419]

Good on ya Ben.

[@CarRamRod1992]

Glad you’ve turned it around mate

[@karenmbbaxter]

My favorite people.....Ben cousins and Mick Molloy..........I have watched them both for donkeys years now.

[@matty14682]

He did kick the winning goal just seconds before the final siren for East Fremantle against South Fremantle. Right in front of the shark pit

[@jlrob85]

Him and WC Judd are the GOATs

[@anthonywhite3666]

Well done, Benny.

[@brendoncrofts6714]

Great to see you doing great champ ,👊

[@adriang6259]

So happy and relieved to see Ben well. And he looks so well. I always thought he was a competitor, after footy I thought he needed to get into something like triathlon or body building to fill the void.

[@TheGreatestJimmy]

So glad he's doing well. Champion player and seems like a good bloke

[@Andy-o2f]

His taste in film is ELITE!

[@Gimmo2197]

Imagine cousins went to Geelong , Ablett , cousins , Bartel , Selwood , wojcinski all in the midfield

[@thequartersfooty]

He was born in Geelong, but raised in Western Australia and his dad Bryan played for Geelong.

Cox, judd, kerr, cousins, embley, stenglein, braun, fletcher>>>

Geelong didn’t have a spare cent in their salary cap, had 9 all Australians in 2007.

[@thequartersfooty]

@@ianjenkins8114 and in the 90's Geelong were millions of dollars in debt back then too.

[@Gimmo2197]

@@ianjenkins8114 how Awsome if they could’ve added a 10th all Australian in there team

He just gets better with age...good onya Ben.

Benny is a legend, not many people turn meth addiction around.

[@petersitko01]

The prince of Perth

[@ARTR2008]

So so good to see he got himself out of hell and really doing well. Ill admit i thought he was beyond help but hes done incredible

[@HT-tu8fb]

So good to see you

[@deanwimbridge9318]

Thanks Ben 👏

[@Tom-w7g7g]

well done B

[@mattahattahern]

As a swans fan I’ve always looked at the 2006 grand final as the stolen premiership with a lot of the players affected by social drugs. I would however say that Ben articulated it very well that the period of success should have really been shared by two teams (as it has).

[@patwaddington]

Yeah as a swans fan that 06 one hurt

[@tremaynedalgety4561]

Goat

[@rtmachine2019]

I was surprised he joked about being locked up

[@Rt72366]

Legend

[@emailitzs641]

All that hardship bad choices misfortune and scrutiny you can’t really tell he was meth head for ages lucky genetics and great job getting well again was one of the best players ever

[@quinntoohey406]

Jeez if you put Cuz in that Geelong side they win the 07 08 09 10 11 flags (assuming he stayed healthy and played until end of 2011)

[@nathanielbutcher6226]

11:14 asking Ben cousins how he dealt with all the media attention was risky 😂

If Geelong picked up cuz they would've been unstoppable

And you???? Congratulations on being one of only two asshole comments on this post. What have you contributed to our world. Obviously no understanding of the control of addictions on people.

[@waydeaarthar7594]

Ben Cousins,had a privileged childhood played some good games and a lot of fame and made good money for the time,became full of himself until only he Not the team mattered to him he should not be all hall of gamer because bringing the game into disrepute should disqualify him,his parents deserve any accolades,DV ,his deviate in the closet behaviour,what a waste

im melbourne based, never had much of a chance to hear ben speak outside of all the medie whirlwind at end of his career. i gotta say very eloquent, smart fella. he gave off some great vibes yesterday and yeh just thought he did a great job and won loads of respect over here.

[@bkozican]

Wish ESPN would do a 30/30 on him. No one ever like him!

[@Ridingthecushion]

From hakea to dancing with the stars congrats benny your legend 😅

[@chinathesideyoudontsee8157]

Such a waste of a career as he had more to give to the game as a player and possible coaching position, but it is great to see Ben clean and happy !

[@DB-my7wl]

Not sure if you can call a 6 x AA, 4 x B&F, MVP, brownlow medalist and premiership player a waste of a career. Certainly had more to give but achieved everything possible in the AFL

[@chinathesideyoudontsee8157]

@@DB-my7wl Technically no hall of fame, no norm smith so no he didn't achieve everything possible ! It was a sad way to end a career for such a talented kid from a great family. By the way I have supported the Eagles since 1986😀anyway like I said good to see him cleaned up and back on track.
