If there’s one player Ben Cunnington is similar to, it’s former Carlton champion Greg “Diesel” Williams according to Danny Frawley.

The St Kilda legend drew the comparison on radio saying the North midfielder “has the cleanest hands in the game.”

“Not only the one-touch, it’s a bit Greg Williams-like the vision he has when he turns his body under extreme heat and gets it out to a runner. It is elite,” Frawley said on SEN.

Cunnington has enjoyed a consistent start to the season, with 21 disposals or more in each of the first four games, while averaging six clearances.

Frawley was also full of praise for key-defender Robbie Tarrant.

“He has been a hair's breadth away from the last two All-Australian teams,” he said.

“He’s my love-child at the moment.”

The Roos’ vice-captain has become one of the league’s most reliable key-defenders in recent seasons, winning the Syd Barker Medal in 2016.

“He is a colossus down there, he is fantastic,” former teammate Nick Dal Santo said.
