When you go at the footy as hard as Ben Cunnington does, you can expect to cop a few hits. 

That was exactly the situation the midfielder found himself in on during an indoor skills session at the Newpark Fieldhouse in Park City.

Floored by Lindsay Thomas in a contested ball drill, the youngster was slow to his feet, spending some time hunched over. He eventually returned, only to be clocked again in a marking contest later in the day. But that wasn't all - one more knock had him shaking his head in disbelief. In true style, he brushed off the incidents and continued on.

For the rest of the team, the session was also solid with boxing, body work and marking making for an intense hit-out. Photos below.
