I watch a fair bit of VFA, VFL and TAC Cup, I had great hopes for Ben.
You'll even find past posts on here of me touting the glowing terms he was described in by former school footy coaches like Luke Hodge.
But for all that, and I concede he started at an unlucky time, he just hasn't shown it. I can't even state his intensity reached the level of laconic. There's a reason he never got that AFL chance, he didn't earn it and never really looked like it. Macreadie and even O'Dwyer had him covered, one was busted and the other most on here label a spud or stable pony!
Bingo!
If he really had strong potential one of the other 17 clubs would have snapped him up, even as a rookie! But crickets and tumbleweeds for Ben. The kid simply might have other interests in life he'd rather pursue than footy.
