Politics.

There's consequences in politics though, they're just largely unrelated to the accuracy of what people say.

Extremely disappointing ............on SEN radio ( Maxwell ex Collingwood Capt.) was saying he was at a recent AFL players gathering 3 topline midfielders from different clubs said the Benny Jacobs was their hardest opponent to shake to date.

Really shakes things up for us coming up against better credential opponents ...........he'd be missed I think , big time.

Would have been 4 but they couldn't find Cotchin to ask his opinion.

You're on fire lately Arden.

You missed the bit where I said 3 top line midfielders

What a compliment. What do we think it is about Ben that makes him such a great tagger? I see him annoying players, holding like any tagger does but not hitting like Baker or the dirty s**t Crowley would pull. Is it the combination of his great core strength over the ball, discipline and endurance running?

To be fair, I haven't made fun of anyone in the top four yet this season, so let's not go too early.

Amazing that tagging is now back in favour as illustrated by Nafan with Levi on Selwood, and Horse with McGlynn on Mitchell, but our Benny is still regarded as the best in the business, back for the finals BJ #trendsetters

It was T Mitchell on S Mitchell, but yeah, point well made.

I'll believe it when I see it. Fingers crossed the tweet's correct about finals though.

Yep, for some reason i couldn't type Mitchell x 2

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He relies on gut running. Can he get back up to speed just 2 weeks out from finals? And we have to fit in Higgins aswell.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Foot injury wouldn't push it myself.

[kangaspurs]

He will be crucial to our finals campaign imo. Restricting the influence of one key player in September could be the difference between winning and losing.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Still un contracted isn't he? Hope he gets a nice juicy 2 year deal with a bit of a pay rise! Bloody well deserved it!

I might be mistaken, but didn't he sign a 2 year deal towards the end of last season?

I thought it was only a one year deal, happy to stand corrected though!

 

[Harris 10]

He triggered a clause in his contract that means he is signed to the end of 2017.

no way he's ever leaving anyway... shinboner for life, wouldn't be surprised in 2026 to see him win our next shinboner of the decade award #bennie2k26 #bennieorbust

Never doubt how far a jalopy might take you.

Credit to Benny, has single handedly put close tagging back in vogue again after losing it's popularity for a while.
