Welcome Ben, we'll look after him for you.

He is one of your clubs all time greats, and there isn't a bad word that can be said about him, on or off the field, a great get IMO.

Who knows, if Sanderson doesn't work out, a few years at Pieland might make him your next coach.

Sweet welcome aboard

 

[PremiumPies]

Welcome to the club, Ben.

Insert comparison between Hart and Tom Young.

Wilkommen Ben

Would he be a deffence coach at Collingwood becuase we already have Watters and Maxy Hudgton working with our backline and they are doing a great job. Bucks might wanna change a few things though.

Ben Hart was one player I would have loved to play for the Pies a bloke who just went out and did his job week in and week out,he always came across as
an outstanding person.I think it is a very good move for both parties and a big welcome to Ben and his family.

 

[SquirrelGrrripp]

Fanatstic pick up for the Pies IMO.. Adelaide club legend and absolute champion of the game.

Welcome to Collingwood Ben, hopefully you are another product of the Collingwood senior coach factory!

Welcome to the club Ben

He always such a hard as nail, no fuss player, so it is great to have him onboard.

 

[damuzzdu]

Great pick up for the club

Welcome to Collingwood Ben

Huge admiration for Hart, played the game like it should be played and a great Adelaide club champion...

 

[larrikan]

Quality person with premiership experience...Bucks shopping has started...welcome Ben

 

[TradeDraft]

Good Get by Bucks

 

[Jedi01]

Let the Bucks reign begin. Welcome Benny.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Ben Hart is a great pick up for the Collingwood football club. As a player he was the best full-back we've ever produced, and as a coach he did a great job holding our defense together. Wish him the best of luck.

 

[Quicky]

I'd say Watters is in line for the midfield gig then.

 

[joefootylover]

Or the StKilda gig?

 

[Ed D]

Hart seems to have a good idea about football, he should fit in well at the Pies.

 

[mdc]

One of my fav player ever, and probably in the 5 best defenders of the last 20 years. Great appointment.

 

[jonbe54]

Played with his heart on his sleeve, always gave 110% great pick up for us.

Welcome Ben.

Good to see some replacement talent coming in before all our assistant coaches are gone... though there's still time for someone to take him off us before next year starts and he's even helped coach for a single game.

Seriously though, Adelaide's defensive coach? I'm fairly clueless as to how great of a bloke this guy is, but how good has Adelaide's defense been in the last few years? (Serious question, maybe it's been better than I realised).

Adelaide ladder position and (defensive ranking):
2011 - 14th (11th)
2010 - 11th (6th)
2009 - 5th (4th)
2008 - 5th (3rd)
2007 - 8th (2nd)

and so on. Defense has always been their strength. Not sure when Hart came on board at Adelaide though.
