Awesome piece.

Nice little plug for my hometown there. Great read

What a great read. You get a special affection for players like Cunners. Clearly he has strong values that most young men in the AFL don't hold close these days. You just know he will play out his career here and will never will have half a thought of straying from Arden St and the blue and white jumper.

P.S Up yours Paul Roos.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Met him once at a function. Just a quiet, likable county kid and now obviously a competitive beast and dedicated AFL footballer.

They breed 'em tough down there and theres none tougher then our number 10. I'm delighted for us that he has started showing what he is capable of consistently but probably even more delighted for him.

Great article, except the part about Roos I'll never forget .

 

[Yianni]

SO glad that he's on our team. Brilliant watching him blossom into a topliner

I am surprised Roosy didn't get a quote in there thanking himself for saving Ben's career.

It is easy to forget that this is the same player singled out for stinging criticism — most notably by now Melbourne coach Paul Roos — during his first two injury-interrupted years at Arden St. Too slow, too unfit and not worthy of being taken with the No. 5 pick, they said.

Great read but what a moron........ Roos was talking about Jack that day and not Ben... Get up to speed would you !!!

I love it when we get the big, two page stories in the HS.

There will be enough of our players already doing that.
He can save it for a real footy club.


Great read and in BRYCE WE TRUST

He was, yes

Seeing Ben in the contest is like seeing a duck in water. He loves it.
One thing he said when drafted that stuck out most in my mind was that he enjoyed the feeling of bodies hitting him, and that he was something he always looked for during a game.

benten,shouldve kicked 15 that day at camperdown,brett taylor goal hogged for awhile.
ben also played as a midfeilder later on that year and had the pill on a string.
actually embarrassed some top class locals with his footwork and skill.
at the age of 10,he wanted to be a footballer and he and gary rohan would try to emulate any exercise they saw on telly that afl players were doing.
kid never swore,never was rude to anybody,and was always respectful to everybody.
as i posted before,this kid was a born leader.
if your club was nice they would trade him to us.
ive got many benten stories to tell,shall relate them over the year to you northeners.

 

[Spitter9]

been a pleasure watching his career progress.

The Swans took Gary Rohan with the very next pick. I know he had that horrible injury, but all he has shown is he can run fast in a straight line. And then they took Lewis Jetta.

 

[trooroo4life]

Well deserved, good thing about Cunners is you know none of this media crap is going to get to his head or anything. Need another big game from him today.

I laughed myself stupid when Jon Ralph claimed in that stupid HS Footy 14 magazine that he'd be a must-have SC player.

Maybe as a "buy low-sell high" type. Otherwise why would you pick a regular sub?

gary was probably the most gifted change direction player we have seen in these parts.
but that injury has been the curse of every player its connected with.
unfortunately it has taken away his greatest asset.
