Not likely. They both played for Cobden so they'd know each other, even despite their age difference. The Merrett family are well known in the district and most of the boys were decent players.

If Cunners is going to line up somebody for the famous one-inch-gut-punch then it has to be Stringer.

Will cunners still play vfl next week to try get the team into finals?

Or is this him done at all levels

Based on nothing at all, I reckon he plays. Seems to have a bit of a bond with that group. I know that it may seem strange that his last matches are VFL, but not much different to playing a bit of country football after AFL retirement.

😂 Zach brings down the town with his hair pull on NatNui. Cunners wouldn’t agree with tugging on another mans hair. Also, I grew up in a small rural town and played in the town. Sometimes the local flog deserves a big dont argue.

In the 70’s our club captain champion broke a team mates jaw in a contest in a prelim because he was more about himself than the team and didn’t want him playing in the GF. Club went on to win the flag without the glory midfielder.

Just because someone is from the same town doesn’t mean they get along.

I didn’t articulate that well. In essence a future 500 game, club legend, multiple league bnf champion broke his own team mates/local jaw during a game so they would win flags.

Surely there's a web designer among us who can get in touch with his manager and sort the great man out with a website that lists where we can buy our Shinboner Cattle Company cuts forthwith.

It’s a crowded market, and now he is on the farm I think he’ll shift to dairy, but I’d buy a side.

Just searched ASIC and it looks like he ditched the Shinboner corporate alias a few years ago. :(

Thanks for the tip though, I wouldn't mind giving up all this screentime for a simple dairy farmer life.

Yes, it is great to celebrate Cunners, but it has been very revealing how comfortable our players are with their limitations.
Cunners joking about being the worst runner in the league for 10 years.
Zurhaar joking that he can't touch his toes on Triple M.
Goater joking that he will come last in the running now (Shuttle Test).

This glaringly shows how lazy and uninspiring our training methods and standards are

What are your thoughts on the congratulatory bum tap/fist bump session after jogging one slow lap of the centre square?

Out of curiosity whree does Ben Cunnington live nowadays (I assume he is no longer in Cobden) What local footy team is going to knock on his door looking for a 40+ possession mid fielder?

That will change quickly when the new draftees come in and start pushing for their spots in the side imo.
Once there is selection pressure they're gonna have to pull the finger out, otherwise Clarko and Viney won't put up with that.
