All jokes aside, the guy is supposedly in a lot of trouble in his personal life - to the point where his parents have forced him to move back in with them.
West Coast wouldn't have taken this action unless they thought they absolutely had to. My guess is that they are either hoping he will turn around, or they don't want a drug/alcohol-induced death to happen on their watch.

It had to happen sooner or later, just that it happened sooner. He had a drugs test yesterday, so not sure if that had anything to do with it. But that club was going downhill with all the indicents that have happened over the past few years. Getting rid of Gardiner and suspending Cousins is probably just another step in the direction they need to turn the club back around, and to be known for the footy they play, not all the off field crap that goes on.
I feel sorry for the guys who obey all the clubs and afl rules, but get bought down in all the shit that happens. I reckon that could be a big thing that could woo judd back to melbourne.

I think there is still alot more to this than the eagles are letting out, from whats been heard it sounds like this was a decission made more by Cousins than the club, there are talks of him sitting the year out to get his shit back together.
Dont like to see anyone hit rock bottom, but certainly sounds like he has done that. Has acheived everything there is to acheive in football (bar a norm smith & a coleman) hope the football world is behind him and gives him the space he needs to get back on his feet and get back on the right track.
I dont think he would go to another club Tom, think he would walk away all together if he had to, as said above its not if he has anything left to prove on the football field.
