'The controversial midfielder, who was runner-up in the Brownlow to Cousins in 2005, was caught on phone recordings made during Operation Remuda in 2003, which brought about the 2004 conviction of Waters for drug trafficking. It also implicated Waters' girlfriend, former Collingwood Football Club merchandising manager Sherryn Osborne, who was also convicted of drug trafficking and possession.
At one point, Harvey can be heard boasting about how many ecstasy tablets he had done in one session. "One 'flipper', every hour on the hour for 10 hours," he told Waters.
Harvey, a close friend of Cousins, says on the tapes "Cuzzy and all that" were coming to his house. Waters replies that Cousins had had a "f---ing big bag of f---ing horse chaffe".
Kerr and Harvey can also be heard promising favours for Waters, in Kerr's case obtaining a pair of football gloves for Waters.
Harvey, who left the Wildcats in 2004, refused to comment on the scandal. Kerr also refused to comment last night. Kerr's father Roger was stunned when told about the tapes last night. "I don't know anything about them and I'll have to call Daniel and ask," he said.
Last night's revelations come at the end of a terrible week for West Coast, which suspended Cousins indefinitely after he failed to turn up to training sessions. Cousins' father Bryan later confirmed his son had a substance abuse problem.
West Coast chief executive Trevor Nisbett could not be contacted for comment last night, and nor could chairman Dalton Gooding, but a West Coast spokesman said the club had "nothing to say"
