Sad.
Shame that it ended without a deserved premiership medal. Maybe he'll get one as a coach? It certainly seems to be the direction that he wants to take. Though at the moment, we seem to be full of quality people in assistant coach and support roles?Originally Posted by KTigers
Pretty poor form from Longmire to not hand his 2012 medal to Benny. If he did, the medal could have gone on its own tour of country towns and end up in the Swans Hall of Fame.
Thanks benny
Hard nut
Full of passion and run
Yep. +1
One of my fave memories is of him taking it up to Johnathon Brown. Thanks Benny.. I have enjoyed watching you !
Though if things went pear shaped, Benny could've head butted him in the nuts.
Ben , there were plenty of blokes at the Swans bigger than you. But you're the only one I'd be scared of meeting on a dark night . Absolute terrier !
Farewell Benny - a very good career, and so unfortunate not to get a Premiership in 2012.
A fine player at this best, especially during 2012 - where he was at or close to the peak of his powers and at his best. Never afraid to go in hard or give his all for the team.
on a superb career!
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
As gutsy as they come. Search "want him in the trenches beside me" and there's a picture of him.
My opinion is objective truth in its purest form
I stood next to him for awhile in the line at a food stand at the preseason game at Drummoyne, and he
doesn't look much, but man I wouldn't want to have the ball in my hand with him coming at me.
In my house, we called him "the human missile".
