Harvey was amazing in 2007 and 08. Got nothing. If Cunnington is gonna get something, he'll have to be better than Ablett at everything. Difficult task but there is always Crowley...

But you'd knda think someone with his b'ground and the position he played that he'd have a clue.
But it's similar Kimbo to the "not all great players make good coaches" vibe.
Just seems, particularly in the media, that there are a hell of a lot of numbskulls......mostly prevalent in your ex-player types, basil zemplis notwithstanding.

Ever notice how most Brownlow winners were just as if not more deserving the year before? Ablett probably better in 2012. Dane Swan certainly in 2010. Often winds up going a year too late. For sake of argument lets say Cunners has a Brownlow-worthy year, probably take the umps till Round 13 to notice and too late by then.

I was going to back him at the start of the year but I wold have wanted 1000/1 minimum. He is not even listed in betfairs top 50 or 60 players so anyone who has backed him at less than 1000/1 has got unders. Still I hope u collect although I will be kicking myself as he was the one that I wanted to back.

Just counted betfair has 68 players listed including Clinton Jones but no Ben Cunnington. Work that one out.
They would have a nominal list of say 50 and then add players on request. I've e-mailed them about a player before, added it for me.

It's like the switch has gone off in Ben's brain - suddenly he knows that not only can he match it out there with the best in the league, he can run circles around *most* of them.
