Ben Cousins 2nd Chance

[StAndArdAU]

So Richmond (go the Tiges!!) have picked up Cuzzy in the Preseason AFL draft. Personally i feel this is good for Ben, great for Richmond, and good for football overall.

Sure he has a drug problem, and is apparently struggling to reform, but i hope once he realises how much of a risk this club has made in picking him, and how many people are now relying on him, that he will do his best to overcome his problems.

I've had friends who in similar situations have lost their job, and people wouldnt give them a 2nd chance. Something like this though is good for a persons mental state.

On the ABC radio this morning they were having talk back about "Getting a Second Chance". Would anyone here like to comment on either A)Cousins and/or B)having had a second chance personally?

I'll start. about 18 months ago myself and my girlfriend were having a hard time trusting each other, to point of nearly ending a 4 yr relationship. But we decided to come clean and talk. we now love each other more than ever, and have a beautiful 3 month old daughter to show for it!
