Because that is what people inside the club are saying
As they should as you don't like seeing expierence retire. The three retirees barely played last year in the seniors and the team finished in the prelim, whilst there is an argument that we may not have got there without them you could say we could have got there as the team played well enough without them to get as far as it did. Clement struggled to over come his injuries and he was not the player he use to be as a few crucial turnovers showed. He won't be missed in my view as much as many suggest.

I think Ben and Jimmy were/are completely different kinds of players. Both exceptional contributors. Jimmy, a professional presise player and Ben explosive and courageous. I think Ben's leadership material and will have a big season this year, we're lucky to have him.

Without doubt in 2007.

Seems that maybe Benny turns it over when he does his little chip/pokey kicks. He can be a superb kick when he kicks with conviction and is running high on confidence. It is great to think that he may not be in our best 22 week in week out, shows that we are accumulating depth all over the ground.

Im a fan - just drill the kicks and stop poking at them.

Hopefully he's looking for a new club next season.....

Many of our kids are way infront of him now.
Beware the swooping Magpie.

I think exit visas are imminent for Johnson.
He may be used in trade,for someone like harris from north.

Eddie said late this season that Ben is a valued player at Collingwood.

I cannot see him going anywhere... apart form the Lexus centre and getting stuck into a long pre season.
