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

[Dickie Greenleaf]

The good judges knew he was always going to be something special.

Destroyed it tonight.

 

[Donkeyman]

Commanding performance.

Ben Cunnington
24 Disposals
11 Contested
75% disposal efficiency
4 Clangers
4 Marks
4 i50s
2 R50s
1 Free against
11 tackles
1 goal assist

and the free against was a joke.

Took the ball, no prios opportunity, grabbed by 3 opponents, ball held to him. Clear ball-up, same as the other 30-odd times the same thing happen ed.

Yet the peanuts decided to pay a free?????

Love it that the above players are showing why BON has put so much faith in them.

Over the past few years all of them have been heavily criticised unnecessarily. All of them have stood up over the last 8-10 weeks and it has been very impressive, it really has turned our fortunes around

This where the improvement has come from and they all deserve a bit of credit along with guys like McMillan and Gibson.

 

[scottywiper]

He monstered it tonight, I don't know what he does but time seems to slow down when he has the ball, someone coming at him and that little shuffle of the feet to dodge while never taking his eyes off the target. Brilliant to watch tonight

It's like he's in slow motion in heavy traffic. Amazing.

 

[showusyacunningt]

My boy. Even the airheads are now starting to see what he's capable of.

showusyacunnington everybody.

Cunnington - hard to say, easy to love.

 

[Lemma]

Absolutely loved his game tonight. Onya Cunners!

 

[GarnerSmash]

Would love some vision of his inside work tonight. giantroo, you there?

 

[RoyalBlue]

A massive **** you to everyone who was on his back for no reason.

You want some evidence of how good he was always gonna be?

[NiceCunnington]

Killed it. He's thriving on more responsibility.

Almost time to unleash him completely. Only the subs had less game time.

Agree.

I reckon Ben will end up being our best inside midfielder, but as a power player people need to realise that he is going to take longer than a gut runner like Bastinac to start impacting on matches. I expect it to be another 24 months before Ben really starts to impact on matches, and by the time he is 24-25 he will be monstering opposition midfields.

Outstanding analysis.

 

[Joey7]

Never did I doubt him. His attitude is first class - that's half the battle. He's something special

LOL. You forgot to add that we need to put a fork in Bon too!!!

Pitch fork in him...he is cooked

 

[windsock]

And imagine we had Kane Cornes and Shane Tuck. :stern look

PS I still luvs yah mate.

Don't you start. You and your mate wanted Rohan!

Go you rooboys!!!

 

[Dickie Greenleaf]

Outstanding analysis.

A shame the new format destroyed the video analysis in that thread.

 

[Elite Master]

Bon can't coach, GET MAULTHOUSE NOW. Tarrent is a spud, Thomas can't kick to save his life, Cunners is slow, Anthony is a soft squib and Hansen can't play forward!

A bit of nostalgia.

 

[Dickie Greenleaf]

Taz will be a beast in 2 years.

Superior leading patterns, booming kick and an attack on the ball where he is only just realising he can monster the opposition.

Hansell could be the best grab in the league once he believes in himself.

 

[Stan Darsh]

Loogie is STILL out of form marking wise. At his best his extended dukes are even better than dish's, he takes a very good grab and I can't wait for it to all click soon.

They've got it in for him but he'll work through it. Most other players get latitude when they're standing up and taking possession in the clinches.

We got two of our worst enemies tonight but overall they weren't too bad. That said, I still reckon it was easier to get a soft free if you were wearing black and white.

It seems that making a genuine attempt is less genuine than not making a genuine attempt. Stupid free.

And JMac, who played a very good game.
