Not fit enough which I find disappointing after all the talk coming out of the club about how fit he was. He looks spent in the 2nd half, needs to improve his aerobic capacity.
Jackstar said he sustained a nasty corky in the second term.  If you have had one you would realise how they can hamper you.
Don't forget that when you have a corky there is a Murphy's Law that the ball will come to you more than it normally would, meaning that it makes it you look like you are having a real shocker.

I don't think he's fit enough, to be fair he's built up his running capacity the last off season which appeared to be a focus given his role was changed to move further up the field in 2915. He will need a couple of pre seasons to get the fitness necessary to play out a full game.
He's trending up in all key numbers this year - avg goals, marks, kicks, inside 50s and score involvements.
Just needs to continue the trajectory
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Ive had one  ::)

Im not talking about this one game, its a common theme in every single game, he looks spent in the 2nd half-  he needs to get much fitter

Maybe we should take him out the back and behead him, perhaps he will play better in the second half then... :snidegrin

I agree, Im a big wrap for Benny G, have been from day dot, just disappointed that he still seems so far off it aerobically after the club specifically came out preseason and talked him up in a richo wing role he was that fit. So naturally you would expect to see a significant gain in fitness which doesn't seem to be the case.
