You have to ask what we would have looked like without him at all this season

Scary thing is in most cases he has someone bear hugging him at all times, too. That graphic also shows how special Walsh is.

My wildest fantasy is North making it to the GF with Cunners and some opposition crumb being sent to do that, because I don't have the slightest doubt that Cunners would turn around and drop them cold.

And the AFL introduce a new rule mid game for a 'send off' rule during finals.

We have very different fantasies...

Well he does go on about the meat grinder all the time

 

[Snake_Baker]

Comfortably beat a very good player in Callan Ward.

He's the only player in the AFL who is top 3 in both these categories:

I have run out of superlatives.

Did folks see him shrug off Mumford early in the match?

Has that ever been done before?

 

[shinboner magic]

Getting better with age - seems to be getting more ball around the ground as well

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

Sure we all talk about his hands but his kicking is just as good. He hits absolute bullets off one step that always put us into and advantageous position. I am not sure he has ever been better than he is right now.

Mumford s**t his pants when Ben went at him after he sniped TT.

 

[Devington]

Mumford sh*t his pants when Ben went at him after he sniped TT.

Wanted absolutely ******* zero to do with Cunners. Literally surrendered.

Its that naturally strong farmer strength

 

[SMaturin]

The Emperor.

 

[Fish Sticks]

LOL to those saying he was nearing the end... he is just warming up!

 

[Devington]

I'm guessing it's all muscle for function and not for glamour, in large part created by actual repetitive and real labour. Doubt Ben gives two shits about having a 6 pack or the like, but wrestling cattle on the other hand wooboy.

EDIT: I wonder if fendoffs work for directing cattle lol

 

[Snake_Baker]

Sure we all talk about his hands ......

 

[Psicosis]

Star. Cannot believe they didn’t tag him.

 

[Bugsy Malone]

People were pretty quick to write this champion off last year. Cunners just has a natural ability to play this game, and it's a joy to watch him.

 

[Dan]

Very good again.

Surprised de Boer didn't go to him.

 

[SMaturin]

De Boar wants to be able to pick up his grandkids one day.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Very good again.

Surprised de Boer didn't go to him.

Wanted to keep one fully functional shoulder.
