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.

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!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
