Hey Benny, let's hope you have a great Summer, cricket has started off well. You'll be thanking Dean for those legs when you run out a full game & pull up well. Enjoy the break. see you in 2012.

Another Rookie list success story. With a couple of seasons (and pre-seasons) behind him, the extra pace, strength and football knowledge he now has could make him a huge asset in the midfield. I don't see Howlett as a Brownlow type player, but as one of the toughest and most reliable players on a list that every club needs.

As with Coly, the extra muscle will help Ben, who is already a good in and under player, get the ball in contested situations

Who recruited Ben again bobby?? Has been outstanding in his development since first coming over from the West.. How his Mum and ALL Ben's Family would be feeling about his progressing career right now.. !! Go young Ben :-) Go Bombers :-) :-)

Ben, we are hoping for a bit more baulk, and strength, without loosing your pace. You showed you can dominate when in top gear,look forward to seeing your powerful game again in 2012, keep powering mate.

I think I am starting to see some consistency from the players for a Christmas present for Hirdy... Why don't we all just put in for a trip to somewhere tropical for Hirdy so that he doesn't have to contemplate a tan out of a bottle?

let's hope more bulk doesn't diminish pace, particularly first 10 yard pace...in-and-under type, runs all day - might be a real acquisition say 1 - 2 years time?
