[KangaFan35]

Really liked Cunningtons game tonight, he's getting back to his best which we all know is very good.

 

[Kakkle]

Those clean hands, whoa.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He's a class above on the inside.

And that 30m left hand handball to Swallow I think.

s**t hot. Opens up the entire ground

 

[Jindrrk]

His game tonight reminded me of Round 1 against ADE last year. Controlled the game and was a bull around the contest. Quite honestly I thought he was a year 10 playing against some year 7's at times in the match.

 

[koshari]

Very consistent as well. Genuine 4 quarter effort tonight.

 

[Gasometer]

As soon as he waz out of the middle in the last 10 minutes and we couldn't win clearance. Damn shame that...had he been on we would have won was such his influence.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

He was fantastic again today. Elite extraction skills and elite handball skills. His delivery by foot today was very good, too.

 

[kangaspurs]

Can't believe some people would be comfortable seeing him included as part of a deal that would get us Kelly. He's by far our best midfielder and it isn't even close.

Post this in a fortnight when he's coming off back to back 17 touch efforts.

One of the best games he's played for the club today though.

Shitload better footballer than our captain. He is as strong as on ox!

Wish he'd push back off the mark a bit quicker though. Shits me tears when he kicks or handballs into the man on the mark.

lol Dalhaus voted BOG!
HA!

In what universe?
Absolutely killed them today. I wish we could get his TOG %age into the 80's.

Dalhaus killed us with his hands (and kicked two). The medal was always going to go to whoever out of he and Cunnington ended up on the winning side as they were head and shoulders above everyone else.

his previous life

 

[Twinkletoes]

Cunners is certainly well and truly back from the dark days following his injury v's the Cats last year.

He did everything he could to help the side win. Tough as a mofo and our best midfielder by a long way IMO.

 

[showusyacunningt]

Going to the next level. Did everything he could to try and get us over the line.

Dal Santo on SEN?

Thought Cunners was far and away BOG, great across all 4 quarters.

 

[Psychic Roo]

Great game. Elite inside mid

 

[Istanbul Roo]

loved his handball, every time he opened up an opportunity for another player.

 

[woofles]

Sorry to make a Bulldog's reference but he is a Scott West clone. An absolute superstar

 

[Yianni]

Those hands! Brilliant in close.

 

[king rising]

outstanding. one of his best games.

 

[Flawed Genius]

He's our best player.

 

[GarnerSmash]

He's our best player.

Spot on. For the first time in his career he seems to have his head and body in the right place and it shows. Given he has won a B&F we should expect great things from him provided he keeps fit.

 

[ShiNoBi]

He's our best player.

very quiet but most skillful and powerful.
when he touch the ball, we have more chance to open space and create the score.
as long as the team has him, there is chance to make final.
