The Ben Cunnington Thread

According to today's herald sun MFC are believed to be leaning toward a midfielder for pick 2 and Cunnington has been thrust into the equation with his recent good form.

Understandably.

The kid has dominated recently in the TAC Cup. Don't discount him - a good finals series might be enough to draw level with Trengove & Morabito.

I'm actually leaning towards him a bit cos I rate his kicking a bit better than the other 2 and he has no discernible weaknesses imho.

    There are better midfielders than Cunnington in the draft. Trengove is more polished, in my opinion is more likely to go between 4-10.

    I think between pick 3 and 7 personally.

    I do like Cunnington - has what it takes.

    Yeah, shame cos he just doesn't stand out from the pack enough for number 2, but won't be even close to still around when our 3rd pick comes.

    I reckon he'll be one of those 'how did they pass on him in the draft?' type players, like Pavlich.

    And we'll end up with Fiora :P

    He'll get drafted at either pick 9 to Hawthorn or pick 10 to Essendon.

    In the mix. Has been in good form of late at Geelong falcons. Strong tackler, plays the game hard, good strong midfielder. I've only seen him live in one game, plus his clips. Did impress me with his tenacity for Vic Country against WA.

    If the AFL website is anything to go by he will go between picks 4 - 6.

    I would think that would be about spot on. I really like this kid, in one word he is a competitor. Loves to crash into bodies, but he also has a touch of class about him which I really like.

    Had a pretty disappointing game against Eastern, hopefully he bounces back has a pearler against GC17 on the weekend and gives the Melbourne brains trust something to think about.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
