... And his name is Ben (Barry) Crocker. Great hands, hard at it, quick over the ground, and not a bad shot for goal. His continued emergence was probably the highlight of a difficult game today. He's had about four games now, and improved, I think, in every one of them.

| He's definitely a player. He may have to be our 'Fasolo' for the next couple of weeks. |

| Great seeing his strong marking translate to AFL level. We look much better with multiple small/medium players who are an aerial threat. |

Good call really like the lad and is really stepping up in pressure moments. I even think heater would be proud to see this kid in 39

Love his composure under pressure and he will be another very handy forward option in the future.
He was highly-touted in the draft and from what I can recall many were surprised that he was drafted as low as he was in the 60s.

I've heard there were some questions around his kicking amongst the recruiters, but he's looked pretty accurate so far from what I've seen.
Absolutely love how he goes about it, lot's of courage at the contest and applies the kind of pressure we need from the smalls/mediums in our forward 50. Well done Ben! |

Agree with the sentiments of this thread.
Barry Crocker is going to be a beauty.
Impressed with the combination of hardness and composure he's displayed so far.

Apparently he routinely joins a few of the other kids for additional kicking practice after regular training has concluded. Got to love that these kids are prepared to do as much extra work as it takes. |
