Welcome to Demonland - JAMIE BENNELL

Jamie Bennell - top-aged, agile, smart, clean, right footed 178/68 utility with clean hands and superb ball skills below the knees. David Wirrpanda-like in style. Strengths are his ball use, ball handling at ground level, creativity, vision and balance. Has big upside considering he has been traveling from Bunbury every week to play colts for Swan Districts and hasn't been training with the main squad. Main queries over lack of exposed form at higher levels (13 WAFL colts games, 1 reserves game, no U18 championships games although played WA U18 in one of the trial games), build, height and engine. Worth a rookie listing (though seems he's a certainty to get drafted).

    "Originates from Bunbury and is a player who Swan Districts officials rate very highly. He is a quick and agile small who displays clean hands and uses the ball well. Attended the WA NAB AFL state screening, where he tested very impressively in the speed and agility tests, recording 2.99sec for 20m and 8.34sec in the agility"

    HEIGHT 178.5

    WEIGHT 68.2

    (very skinny!)

    I'm seeing a pattern emerge... pace, foot skills... the two things we lack the most.

    Small defender?

    I don't - Isaac Weetra ring a bell.

    I'm just a bit surprised we went for an un-known at pick 35 that wasn't invited to the AFL draft.

    Hope it's an inspired pick!

    So did Bennell and Jetta play at the same club?

    Bennell is not an unknown, Westcoast were very interested in taking him as well.

    From what they guys on the radio/bigpond it seemed that WCE were going to pick him up next pick, seemed really highly rated by his club... god I hope he's not a Weetra.

    So did Bennell and Jetta play at the same club?

    From the first article in my post above:

    Neville Jetta from Bunbury Bulldogs along with Jamie Bennell, Frank Quartermaine and Clinton Garlett from Carey Park Panthers are among the nation’s top young footballers and have attracted interest from AFL clubs in what is expected to be a strong year for the draft.

    according to Andrew Maher.

    I got the info from Matt Burgan's phantom draft, and I presume so did Maher

    I like the sound of this 'my-brother's-girlfriend's-sister-overheard-a-conversation" quote from bigfooty.

    "I heard some Claremont coaches talking about him i think it was Jamie that he turned a game against them and that they couldnt stop him once he went into the midfield. He got every hard ball and clearnace at of the midfield and was easily the quickest over the ground."

    Bennell seems to have a solid body, big leap and speed. Excellent!!!

    Never heard of him. Ash Smith was taken after him. Personally i never rated Smith. He was super, super quick, but from what i saw, disposal was shocking.

    Going to look forward to seeing him in action to seems like we are going with players who are quick with good disposal!

    He looks like a good mover in his video. Got a bit of height bout him

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
