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

[Twinkletoes]

Timed to arrive around the players' Christmas break too. She'll likely arrive the day their break begins, his timing is that good.

Congrats Cunners!

Not only does he have the best hands in the business...

The Mailman.

Always delivers on time.

Cunnington’s to terrorize the AFL and AFLW for years to come!

How is his doppelganger Ben Cunningham travelling ?

 

[ferball]

Congrats Ben.

 

[King Corey]

I like this bloke.

Such a good footballer to watch. His hands and vision in tight last night allowed many of our midfielders more space.

22 contested possessions and 8 clearances on the back of his 30 touches.

Hit some seriously good target when kicking inside 50 too.

Has hardly played a bad game this year. Awesome to see him covering the ground better!

The Ben10 kickout recieve..that Mark!

 

[MaddAdam]

He’s become the elite mid we hoped he would.

Schimmelbusch like these days.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Best hands in the AFL. Never fumbles.

He kept us in it when we were on toast.
Amazing really.

That is the definition of a gun carrying us on his back and willing us over the line.

Will have sore shoulders tonight.

How many people are genuinely surprised to see Dal Santo's name mentioned there?

We go to him regularly as that straight down the middle one out guy. Even better lightning hands straight afterwards to break us out.

King highlighted it a few weeks back for all to see on OTC

Still no one picking him up

Shhhhh

 

[susurrar]

can we get his other mark on the wing

thought it was even better than the kickout live but havent seen the replay yet

Shhhhh

They kind of do though. He outmarked two of them - he's bloody strong overhead.

I was but more surprising was Scotty Thompson. 20 contested possessions for a KPD is seriously impressive. Hurley would be lucky to get 20 in a season.

 

[Only Forwards]

I hand on heart believe if you asked the 17 other coaches if they could take 1 player from North he'd be the most common response.

He's a footballer's footballer.

 

[Twinkletoes]

The footy meeja are finally recognising him as the toughest inside ball winning mofo with the cleanest hands that he is. About bloody time!

 

[Arathrawn]

Hahaha number 16 fell over from Ben's presence alone.

 

[Billy Not Really]

At this point the man's work speaks for himself, he's just so bloody good at what he does, we're spoilt for even having this man on the team. He never gives in and he carries the burdens with no problem to get us across the line.

He's grand final quality.
