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).

I'll be the first to ask . . . who?

Welcome Jamie.

Ditto. Anybody got any info on this kid?

"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!

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.

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
