Past #10: Ben Cunnington - will retire from the AFL after * game - 238 games/95+ goals/2x Syd Barker Medalist/Shinboner - thanks for everything Cunners

[Kimbo]

Yeah they’re not similar in playing style, I was more thinking about being hard, no fuss types. Both will probably go their careers being under appreciated footballers outside of Arden St.

Stevo probably more akin to Jack in some ways.

And beat them all Snake. Remember he did his knee once rd. 20 or 21. Was back for first day pre-season next year.

Don’t forget ‘99
“I had a fracture in the heel in the right foot, plus I’d torn all the ligaments in my ankle,” Stevens said on Fox Footy’s Open Mike.

“I’m pretty sure it was a 14-16 week injury.

High praise as Browny was proper hard also.

Not that keen on coloured boots either snake

No showboating in Cunners. Pagan would have adored him.

 

[Bigeasy]

Most weeks I get at least 2 or 3 texts from non-North supporting mates going on about how good he is.

You're lucky, my mates send me Lol Norf or how s**t is your mob and that's when we win.

Ripped his pectoral muscle during the game too.

I love that Ben would have thrived in any era, and he still somehow manages to dominate today despite having no pace or ability to spread/run defensively. He's unique to say the least.

Apologies if it’s bleedingly obvious, Mr Zombie, but do we have rating numbers for each player?

So those graphs that the aflplayerrating Twitter account post after every game are ratings points. And they’re in the afl.com.au stats-pro section for each player.

Cunners very skilfully avoided the cameras and microphones today on the eve of his 200th, never change Benny boy

 

[Waussie]

Class act! Love watching him play.

 

[Roo Beauty]

My favourite player to watch. Absolute beast. The Shinboner of the decade.

 

[amaz199]

Hope he absolutely kills it. He has come so far from his consistency problems.

Go Cunners!

Vegans divert your eyes!!!

Like a glove..

 

[Twinkletoes]

Before shearing them with his bare hands.

Congrats on 200 tough as a mofo games Cunners!

Stop casting dispersions on vegans.

 

[Sopwiths North]

But enough of God. Go well Cunners, in your 200th. May you cast off all your opponents like flies, and lead your fellow knights in our quest, to seek this holiest of grails.

If I see one pea hearted effort by any of our players during Cunners 200th I will hold it against them for the rest of their careers. North needs to go next level to make sure we bring home a win for this bloke and our season.

Jindrrk to celebrate the 200th we need some next level workmanship of Cunners playing lead role in final Avengers battle or something similar then send it viral. If you have the time that is.

Does he still have that tattoo or did he bite it off?

It's Chinese for "clearances and contested possessions".
