AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan is uncertain what can be done to help Ben Cousins, saying the fallen stars battle with drug addiction is as bad as ever.McLachlan says the AFL is prepared to help Cousins in any way - but hes just not sure how.He (Cousins) has had a terrible struggle for a number of years now and I understand that at the moment it is as bad as ever, McLachlan told reporters in Perth on Thursday.Drug addiction is a huge challenge for the community.We will do whatever we can. Part of the issue is what to do is not evident.But be very clear: the AFL will take on whatever role we can to help Ben.We are in a much better place to have the right type of relationships (with clubs) and to understand the issues.McLachlan arrived in Perth for a visit coinciding with West Coasts celebrations of its 2006 premiership victory, which some say is tainted because of off-field drug issues suffered by some of the Eagles premiership-winners.Earlier this week, Cousins was collected by police after he was reportedly directing traffic on a busy Perth road.The Bronwlow medallist and former Eagles captain was incoherent and was taken to hospital for observation before being released.Responding to recent comments from Eagles chief executive Trevor Nisbett that the AFL gave him an inquisition, rather than assistance, when he initially sought help for Cousins, rather than any assistance, McLachlan said the AFL had come a long way in the past decade.McLachlans visit to Perth coincides with West Coasts celebrations of its 2006 premiership victory, which some say is tainted because of off-field drug issues affecting some of the Eagles premiership-winners.McLachlan said he believed the Eagles side that beat Sydney in the 2006 grand final was a well-coached, strong-running and great AFL team.Clearly there are some individuals who have had significant challenges since. That is clearly disappointing on a number of fronts, he said.But I dont believe it takes anything away from the merit and significance of the win.NFL Jerseys Sale .

Wholesale Jerseys China .C. -- Calgarys Kevin Koe did it the hard way again.BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana Hoosiers coach Kevin Wilson finally figured out how to get his offense in sync.He shuffled his best players in and out of Saturdays game, got the ball into his playmakers hands and just let them go to work.The result: Three players topped the 100-yard mark, five players scored on touchdown runs and the Hoosiers got back into the bowl hunt with a 42-36 victory over Maryland.When you get that running game going, that stuff is easy. When youre playing one dimensional, its a lot easier to get defended, Wilson said. A lot of things that we did today, we wouldnt have done last week because of the scheme of the (opposing) defense. Some of the things we did were just part of the nature of what we do within the structure.The bottom line is it worked -- and if Indiana (4-4, 2/3 Big Ten) can keep it rolling they could be headed to a second straight bowl game for the first time since 1990 and 1991.Devine Redding ran for 130 yards and one score. Tyler Natee, the 270-pound freshman running back, ran 18 times for a career-high 111 yards and a TD. And Diamont, the backup quarterback had 11 carries for 104 yards and two scores as Indiana snapped a three-game losing streak.For Maryland, it was a frustrating day.Despite leading 21-16 at halftime and 24-23 with 1:11 left in the third quarter, the Terrapins (5-3, 2-3) couldnt put away the rugged Hoosiers.Instead, Mitchell Paige closed out the third quarter with a 15-yard TD run on a reverse and Perry Hills fumble led to Natees 2-yard plunge that made it 35-24. The Terrapins got within 35-30 late in the game but the 2-point conversion pass failed and Maryland couldnt get any closer.We didnt tackle well, we didnt execute, new Maryland coach DJ Durkin said. We didnt play at any sort of standard that would help us win a game.KEY NUMBERSMaryland running back Ty Johnson topped the 100-yard mark in the first half, thanks largely to a 66-yard scoring run. He finished with 13 carries for 142 yards. Maryland quarterback Perry Hills ran for two scores andd threw for two more on a day he was 22 of 33 for 248 yards with one interception and one lost fumble.ddddddddddddIndiana came up just short of breaking the school record for most yards rushing (455) at Memorial Stadium, set in 2014 against Indiana State. The Hoosiers had 650 yards, 414 on the ground. Quarterback Richard Lagow was 16 of 25 for 207 yards, as the Hoosiers became the second team this season to throw for more than 200 yards against the Terrapins defense.DEFENSIVE STRUGGLESThe two offenses combined for 1,167 yards, with 683 yards coming on the ground. Indiana averaged 7.3 yards on 57 carries, while the Terrapins averaged 5.4 yards on 50 carries. And despite all those chances, the Terrapins had the only two turnovers of the game.THE TAKEAWAYMaryland: The Terrapins were hoping to eliminate any suspense about their postseason plans before entering their most rugged stretch of the season -- at No. 2 Michigan, home against No. 6 Ohio State and at No. 7 Nebraska. Instead, Maryland came up short and may have to wait until the season finale against Rutgers to finish the job.Indiana: The Hoosiers got a huge boost with the win. They can become bowl-eligible with two wins in their final four games, a stretch that includes a trip to reeling Rutgers and a home date against rival Purdue.UP NEXTMaryland: Nov. 2 at No. 2 Michigan. Its the first time the Terrapins will face a ranked team all season and it comes on the road against a team fighting to win the Big Ten title and make the playoffs. There will be nothing easy about this one.Indiana: Nov. 2 at Rutgers. After a rugged start to the conference season, facing five teams that entered the weekend a combined 24-11 and playing bowl-eligible teams, the Hoosiers finally get a break. Theyll face the two-win Scarlet Knights, the Big Tens only winless team in league play.---The APs college football page: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
