Ben says 22 has been finalised
They just interviewed Ben on SEN.
Obviously disappointed.....but reaffirmed that Team comes first.
When asked on chances of still coming in he stated that while he would still warm up, that the 22 had been finalised.
You could hear the disappointment in his voice. So if he is playing..he is a good actor.

Cruel game isn't it.
But sadly for him the more I think about two relatively immobile ruckmen against the Pies plus Kosi as well simply leaves us short a rotation when we need runners.
His time will come. Maybe he'll be our captain when we next peak? Who knows...
Whatever the case may be, he is a class act, and absolutely quality individual, and we are lucky to have his ilk among our crew.

"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

I'm hearing you, but it's not much good tapping it to them.eppo67 wrote:IMO this is a mistake. Need to take advantage of Pies lack of 2nd ruck strength. Could be crucial in tipping balance in all important clearances advantage.

We need ground level players more than another ruckman ... in my humble opinion.
We can shark a couple of hit outs if needs be.

Ben has been a trooper this year and won games off his own boot! He's been brilliant for the best part of the season and a valuable member of the group! Chin up Ben! We all reckon you're tops!
When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!
Ben is a great player and young enough to get another chance. We need runners tomorrow - this selection didn't dawn on me but now it's been made, it's obvious. I don't see Ross Lyon as a ducks and drakes sort of coach. The team's been selected and that's that.
