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

[Thewlis Dish]

Really needed to impose himself once Kennedy was out of the game, but apart from fits and bursts didn't do that. Has had a great season but yesterday was disappointing.

 

[Horizons_00]

Cunners always seems to have a few down games here and there during the year. I expect him to dominate this week

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Was a bit of a strange game tbh. Cunners didnt do much, Parker was quiet, Buddy had a stinker until 3 qtr time, kennedy obviously was out for most but even then wasnt dominant when playing. Meanwhile their debutant is cleaning up everything, Daw's kicking goals, Ronke and Hayward are the most dangerous forwards and Ziebell plays the game of his life.

Cunners will thrive on the g.

 

[shinboner magic]

Cannot be considered elite till he comes to play and every week.

Look at Cripps who is a one man band but still smashes in each week.

Some more shinfo on Cunners:

Once brought in a live croc in for show and tell in year 1.

His first kiss was with a bear trap.

His mum dropped him when he was a baby and they still haven’t fixed the hole in the concrete floor in the hospital.

Chuck Norris and Xena Warrior Princess are his God parents

Brad Scott has to have a few spare flat footy’s at training in case Cunners gets hungry.

Cunners spreads the bones of inferior midfielders on his toast every morning for breakfast.

He uses empty 2 litre milk cartons as condoms.

He also makes onions cry.

Needs to lift his output - has been down the last month

Reckon he'll be "on" today. Plenty of room for 35m handballs in the open expanse that is the 'G

Cunnnington has been a consistent performer for a while now, just not to the elite level often enough which we all know he is capable of.

Poor thus far today. He’s not playing in a manner that would benefit the team from this manic pressure team.

Need him to lift just to be competitive.

He is an absolute lone hand at the coal face...

Get off it. Why is he always looking to go back with a handball or lazily walking back after a mark. Needs to lift his intensity against these better teams.

AFL strongman
Hard man to tackle.
Love his game - brings a lot of other guys into it
Seems to be racking up a few more touches each season.

It isnt Ben's fault we have no outside mids pr even balanced mids that can spread...

He does his job fantastically well and most weeks is carrying the whole midfield. Cunners will be next level when Josh Kelly arrives...

Absolute LEAST of our worries.
