Ben Cardwell turned his focus to the media industry after realising he probably won't play in the AFL, despite once kicking two goals for the Lara Under 10s. A second-year Monash Journalism and Politics student, what Ben lacks in athletic prowess he makes up for in his passion for sport and his fascination for obscure player names.
