Welcome Rookie Draft Pick #21 - Ben Crocker

[BACCS]

Know how he feels. My Dad went the same way although he would have been quite a bit older and it was a blessing in the end.
You do remember the good times more than the bad though, so that will help him no doubt.

The fact that Ben's grandfather had it and his Dad at presumably middle age had it is a worry for Ben and his siblings.

Yep, let’s just hope Ben and his siblings can skip the cycle

Ben’s last game for the Crows was an absolute shocker. It seemed like his head wasn’t in the game and I wondered at the time if the combined effects of his father’s disease plus the whole Covid thing had overwhelmed him.

It would be great if he was given another chance in the AFL but I doubt it.

Life can be really cruel to some people.

Deepest condolences to Ben and his family.

Just a sad story and a very sorrowful day for all involved.

RIP to his father.
