198cm, 25 years old. Should be entering the window of his best footy if history is anything to go by..
Like Vickery we've invested a truckload of time & resources into Ben for a modest return in his 7 years on the list.
Everyone can see he has talent but the question remains has he got the *smile* in him required to be a success as a KPP or does he remain a tease?
I lean towards no. Don't ever think he's going to reach the levels of consistency required. The fire doesn't burn brightly enough inside.

For Griff to thrive we need to return to 2013 football.
The recruitment of an aggressive ruckman, an inside dynamo and maybe another pack rat suggests we will try.
Jack and Griff are our only competitors for the tall forward roles. One injury and we are going to struggle! Chol - ? / C Moore - ? / Elton - ?
I've always preferred Jack close to goal. It is where he is most dangerous! He might not have the nippiness of a small forward but he definitely has the nouse. Why Dimma wants to use him as a winger is another nail in Dimma's coffin for me. Lloyd, Rioli, Jck inside 50.
Griff further away to use his long boot. His M.O. would be, any mark within 60m you take the set shot unless another obvious option is avail.
No Vickery/No Mcbean/No Mckenzie all gone.

Tend to agree with you here mate and your posts have been spot on IMO recently.
The direction we have taken this trade period looks as though we identified a strategy late 2015 and we are working towards it for a tilt in 2018/2019. Hence the Hardwick extension - if he really can coach that is....
But its evident to me from this trade period that a more agressive, hard running game style is in the works.
It will be Hammer in the ruck rotating with Griff and Nank both floating in and out of the forward line, with one of those dropping back to sit in the hole when required. Jack will play permanent forward with Rioli and Lloyd feeding off them.
