Found it humorous that both heppell and stringer tried to get physical with him during the game. Ben10 would snap both over his knee.

Started like a house on fire but dropped off significantly after qrtr time. I wonder if the finger was causing him grief bbecause he only had 4 disposals between the start of the 2nd and into the 4th.

Look at Bellchambers or whatever wish preuss played god Todd just doesn’t like the rough stuff. This is why I love Jed he ******* sprints from the back half to back he’s mates in.
Jed was in there quicker than Margetts
 
Both Cunners and Stringer were pick 5.

Difficult to think of two more diametrically opposed personalities and playing styles.

One has the record for contested possession, the other a cheap and easy out the back merchant.

One a devoted and loyal family man, the other a reprehensible creature that preys on children (yes, they may be above the age of consent but any man worthy of being accepted as a man knows that a much older male using his social influence to get a 16 year old into sex is a paedo, plain and simple).

Cunners plays hard and fair and seems to genuinely respect his opposition, Stringer is all glory hunting and sticking his tongue out after he arses a goal or gets a late one when the game is over.

I suspect the universe will sort Stringer out before to long.

Couldn't agree more. If she can't vote, then she's a child.
 
One of those quieter games that he used to have more of.

After quarter time.

I was about to post something about this ... he was quiet but still had 23 disposals yesterday and a dislocated finger. Early last year we were pointing out his tendency to go missing in games and get less than 20 possessions. Today in one of his quieter games he still got involved alot more than some of those past quiet ones.

Last year by this time he played 2 games for under 20 disposals. One with 12 (vs GC early in the year) and another with 17. No marks in either, 4 and 5 tackles and we won both games reasonably comfortably. He had one more sub 20 disp game last year - vs * actually. Had 18, a couple of marks and 4 tackles.

So far this year one game under 20 disposals - 19 v GWS, but still had 4 marks and 8 tackles. And we won.

So far this year he's averaging 25 disposals and last year averages 25.5.

He has definitely improved. Possibly cos its all on him - no Spitta in there as well. These days his quiet games still have as many possies as his career average. Great to see.
