i understand they have been trying him in the ruck. bit of a worry playing a bloke who runs from contact and is always injured in the most confronting position on the ground.

Where did you hear this claw? Interesting if this eventuates. With his height and leap he could make a great forward/ruck but as you say he is incredibly injury prone.  Hope he steps up this year and carves out a spot forward. I always imaged him as a CHF using that hoof of his to kick 60m goals and launching it into the forwardline from the wing.

Playing him in the ruck might at least force him to learn how to contest, if nothing else.

Didn't work for Graham.

Indeed - hence the operative word in my post was "might".

Talk is that Ben has seriously injured his left shoulder and will have scans tomorrow

Anyone heard similar?

This morning he is out on the track doing full training with no strapping.

Thanks for the clarification

Except for the strapping across his face, he and evy playing pin the mules arse on the tail

Yep, BF reports i've read suggest that he's been training as a ruck. People have also noted his aggression during contact drills. I suspect he's been given a wee bit of a rocket. Chocco's work perhaps.

Why didnt Ben go to Warnambool with the rest of the side?

Training (running laps) at Punt Rd with others who didn't head down to Warrnambool apparently.

[🏅Dooks]

Apparently. 

Still the question stands

Nobody wants to answer the questions that need to be answered.

And we are STILL waiting

He's injured again obviously
