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

[Snake_Baker]

He is the strongest man on earth. I can't stress enough how much I love this bloke.

Cunners is quite possibly the only alpha male playing in the AFL today.

Now I can't stop picturing Cunners doing silent slo-mo martial arts moves in a field of grazing cows. With the rising sun behind him....
Trumps the suburban ennui of goat yoga any day.

But yeah, I do think you're on to something there ferball. He is our Grandmaster Ben.

I reckon he may have but who knows. Might ask him next family day.

 

[gigantor77]

I just don't get the physics of how he manages to stay completely unjarred when hit. He's like a human sandbag.

The force of the hit is absorbed into Ben's muscle structure.
It is then stored and eventually released as a Benergy Force Field, which causes both Bulldogs players to be suddenly pushed away and fall over.
It is the same force that Ben uses in his hands to push tacklers away.

Cunners has been doing that against them since had hair.

Probably been posted a thousand times but never gets old. Cunners in his first season... The signs were there.

Nah, Cunners is just a good old country boy, none of that foreign stuff for him. His strength comes from wrestling bulls on the farm since the time he could walk.

Ben:
Did we get the goal?
Doc and others:
Ahaha
Ben: nah serious did we? Stern look

 

[ferball]

I've always wondered what that tatt meant.

Almost like reading the LDU thread.

Great minds and all that - I did think that at one point.

Practices an ancient Australian off-shoot of Siddhartha's teachings known as Ben Buddhism.

It's Japanese for choggy milk.

Mate....I doubt you'd be the type to care to even read this (I guess I'd have to comment on one of his fishing pics on Instacrap )...but that bump you did near the end on Spudringer was an act we all appreciate. At the time I'd wish you'd of done it harder but you knew not to push it too much

Lost the game but I did enjoy that at least.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Would've loved to see Cunners smash Stringers head in after the game was all over anyway, but ah well. You did another great game Cunners.

Stringer was pooing his pants when Ben went up to him after that hit.

 

[Hojuman]

Did he injure his finger yesterday. Was on the bench with some concern.

Dislocated a finger sideways, went to the bench, put it back in & went on again.

 

[Val Keating]

Anyone got a gif of the bump?

 

[shintemaster]

Anyone got a gif of the bump?

Wasn't really much in it to be honest. He's hit people harder taking marks himself.

 

[Gasometer]

So the kick ins to Ben10...

High risk high return

But when he gets covered like yesterday it can end in a mess
