When you think of what he has done over the last 12 months you wonder where it all went wrong. There were times between 2003 and 2011 that if we didn't have Benji we had less than no hope. But he has turned into a self centred plodder with delusions of his own form. He sooked about Ryan going, ditto Heighington because they organised the lunches or some such, still makes the same stupid f**k ups he did when he was 19 (but at least then he usually always did something freakish to make up for it) and is carrying on like a clown.
His farewell on retirement should have been one like Junior's or Blocker's. A packed house with everyone moist in the eyes because we had seen a legend go around for the last time but his form and antics are ensuring that his last game will seem him revered like a Glenn Morrison.
Sheens let him get away with too much for too long and Benji can't turn the tap back on so rather than blaming himself he is blaming Humpty, Shines, Potter, Mayer, the new board, Julia Gillard and anyone he can.
Over the last few years he has become more and more of a flat track bully and less of a champion who could decide games on his own.
