TOPIC:

I've always considered Benny a bit of a fringe player who is always in and out of the side,but the more i see of him i'm now starting to think otherwise.He is not the greatest set shot in the world,but if you give him half a yard,he has a devastating turn of pace,and is as good a running shot on goal as anybody in the WAFL.He has shown the ability to kick banana goals as well as majors over the shoulder and around the body,and also possess's a spectacular leap,.He has a very good temperament,regularly rocks up to training,and is the quality type of character you want in your team,but i don't know if he has the hunger or realizes how good he can be.

Has high end pace which you can’t train. Forward pocket can be a graveyard for involvement in the game. His next step
is to increase his influence on matches when it’s not bouncing his way. If he can do that he can play plenty of games  at WAFL level.

He's got X-factor Royal,but he needs to get more involved, because when he does he has the ability to turn a game.

If Ben can kick a couple of goals a game, set up another couple and keep the ball locked in the forward line with some defensive pressure, I think a permanent spot is there for the taking.
Given the fact that Elijah Taylor has been in good recent form in the reserves and the great work by Christian Ameduri in the second half against Claremont, we have several small forward options.
Hopefully Shayne Hille can make it back for Game 100, but the big mystery is the absence of Tom Edwards-Baldwin among the listed players on the club website.
Does anyone know if TEB has suffered a season-ending injury because his absence is certainly a mystery?

TEB has unfortunately a very banged up shoulder,so i have no idea when he'll be back.

RL, if I recall correctly, TEB initially sustained the shoulder injury in his very first game for EP, against his old mob Subiaco.
I love his desperation and he's very handy around goals.
Let's hope TEB comes back successfully next year.

Yeah he's a good crumber and tackler Archie so i think he's been a good pickup,and on Elijah Taylor,i don't care how much talent someone has,you can't play at WAFL level half fit,and i wouldn't promote him until he starts kicking bags of 4 and 5 which is what he should be kicking in the 2s with his undoubted ability.
