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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
