Reason #5: Ben McGlynn’s hardness at the footy

He may be the shortest bloke on the Swans list, but what Ben McGlynn lacks in height, he certainly more than makes up for in heart.

After starting the season as one of the Swans main avenues to goal, a brief drop in form saw Benny push into the midfield with great effect as a ferocious tagger. His job on Joel Selwood in the round 23 win over Geelong resulted in him finish equal with Shane Mumford and Adam Goodes in Club Champion voting for the game.

Benny will be back and raring to go in 2012, continuing to display his courage and throw his body in where few others dare.

Be there to watch Ben fearlessly attack the footy in 2012 by showing your passion with a Sydney Swans membership.
