Past #10: Ben Cunnington - will retire from the AFL after * game - 238 games/95+ goals/2x Syd Barker Medalist/Shinboner - thanks for everything Cunners

[DarkPhoenix]

Drops to 16th overall when you remove inelligible players from the voting.

Awesome years by Cunners, hope he keeps going and becomes recognised as an elite inside mid/forward.

 

[Roopassion]

Another preseason under his belt and he'll be running even better.

 

[archereleven]

I cant wait for the year his decision making speeds up. Will be the closest thing to diesel in the modern game and will see things no one else will

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Will be interesting to see if he gets tagged at all next year and how he responds to it.

 

[dus]

Gun. Underrated by the wider community. Sensational season.

10/10

Will win the syd.

 

[Horace]

The possession numbers will increase once he can increase his game time. Spend only around the mid/low 70% on the ground.

75.9% to be exact.

Plenty of room to increase.

Add another 10% game time and 5 more touches a game and you're set.

we were lookin at the votes poll at work this morning at smoko, and one of the blokes, a collingwood follower pointed at Cunners name and said, next generation champion.

I watched him running with hannebury off the ball. As soon as I saw them together I thought hanners will be on the end of it in no time.

Hanners ran through the Centre square, cunners dropped off, hanners gained possession, no one within cooee of him. Then, effortlessly hit up one of their tall on the tit. It couldn't have been easier for him.

Pool Roos would've been smirking in the stands.

It's not Cunners' fault he's slow. If he had pace (and a better tank) I think he'd be invincible. It's only fair on other teams that he's as fast as he is.

i love the bloke, but that was a goal right there. "The one metre team" remember that one? We paid homage to that last week.

Cunners my tip for B&F.

Well,his sister just won the club B@F at Simpson,so that could be an omen.

beginning to think Gary Rohan may be a bit of a cunners with pace.

Top 1 in the Brownlow 2015

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Minus the hard ball winning, tackle breaking, sublime handball, strong marking and accurate kicking skills ...

Yeah, they're almost the same. :rolls eyes:

Rohan finally plays a good game and we get this.

Gazza always had pace,tore school athletic records to pieces and was the best player at changing direction.
Cunners was a different kettle of fish and always destined to be Diesel like.

I'm not so sure the rest of our list will be ready for that. As it stands, Ben10 does some things with the ball that are seriously insane and no-one around him is prepared for it.

Agree with this - he is truly Steve Saunders' living canvas.

Less rotations = more Ben 10.

Gary Rohan:

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Before that game Rohan averaged 10 disposals a game this season, one game doesn't make a player.

Ive noticed players are more switched on around him, until the whistle goes anyway. I cant remember who received the handball from him(might of been Gibbo) on the wing, but i remember 2 or 3 swans players bearing down on Cunners right on the line and all of the sudden a handball shot out of nowhere and hit him on the tit. He is gonna be a ripper is our Ben10. Been a while since ive seen talent like he has with his hands. Unreal overhead as well.

really backed himself to clunk them in one on one situations this year, such strong hands.

He would be a genuine a-grade already if he had a bit bigger tank, and a bit extra yard of pace.
