Bennell WOW!

[Neita3000 37]

Lot of people calling him to be dropped throughout the week.

Just wondering what did you think of his game today?

[Guest Digga]

He was Great, Wow today was a great day :D so many positives.

Who the hell was saying that?!?

Eagles were going to pick him at #36 last year and were [censored] when we did. It was fun parading him around in front of them.

Pleasing thing today was the games of our young guys

Bennell - was quick and clean with his hands...excellent

Grimes - 22 disposals

Maric - 2 goals, 100% disposal efficiency after last week

Morton - 36 disposals

Certainly shaping up as a great player.

I was one who thought he may have needed a rest (not because I thought he was bad, just young), very glad to be proven wrong and probably have been given faith in young players playing long streaks of matches.

Superb. Bennell showed yet again today that (only in his 1st season) that he will be a great player for the club. Not only did he win the ball, his kicking under pressure and the ability to have the confidence to take players on was very good. With a few more pre-season under his belt in the years to come he will be a vital player if we want to achieve success.

Another one i think you can add to that is Petterd.

Didn't have a massive influence on the game today, but i just enjoy the way he seems to love a big moment, and calmly slots through goals that should be kicked at crucial times, like he did against the Tigers.

[45HG 1,539]

Franky Grimes, I love you.

[Einstein 1]

Bennell certainly has a great deal of natural talent. Displays poise and awareness well beyond his , well, beyond his seven games to date. Also has tremendous balance and ability to win the ball.

Could become anything.

No doubt as a young player there will be times this season that he may go missing. But he hasn't yet. I think he's shown something in each game he's played.

Cannot help but be impressed.

[Jaded No More 60,131]

Franky Grimes, I love you.

Your men crushes are cursed!

If Grimesy gets injured again I'm hunting you down and killing you. :angry:

[Gorgoroth 12,447]

LOL.

All those kids were great today and I feel good due tot he fact they will be the corner stone of our next successful period.

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,166]

Geez. This kid is exciting. Amazing poise and plenty of pace. He not only looks like McLeod, he`ll be playing like him in 12months time

[godees 716]

how good was he!!!!

[ding 5,126]

This kid flows like warm honey......... Smooth over the ground, and his kicking action is almost faultless. Hard to believe he is just a pup with half a dozen games under his belt. When he has around 50 games experience, and has gained the confidence of being a member of a side who regularly wins game ( which by that stage Melbourne WILL do), he may well turn out to be a star.

[demon_king 13]

Just keeps getting better and better. All these games in the seniors are really helping him.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Grimes butchered a few kicks today but I had to keep reminding myself that it is only his second game.

I just love the look of Bennell, he really takes the game on. When Buckley is fit these two will be am explosive combination.

Loved him, Every time he as near the ball i was thinking give to jamie.

Yes i'll admit I was one of them, but that was only because of managing him throughout a long first year. On his form today you wouldn't drop him. Still think they should be careful with him however. He will be a gun this guy!

[The Backyard Charizard 1,178]

Massive game by the young bloke.....

Lifted in front of his home state....

Stuck it up those Eagles....

Go you good thing BeanHead!!

[brey9186 102]

that much of a suprise? is a product of the WA system, so has been training and playing with men for a year or two already

its just nice to have someone with pace coming out of the backline, that can hit someone 40m away on the [censored], instead of going 30m in the air, and going down the other teams throat (coughwardbuckleybellcough)

would love for him to be able to progress through to the midfield as well, a clearance specialist ala s.burgoyne :D

getting either mr wona or mr jetta back in the team would be nice too, extra bit of magic on the flank for benny to kick to

[Doggo 32]

GUN!

Excellent summary E'stein.

[olgreydingo 51]

He will be fantastic in our future premiership side at only 18, he is showing class now. He may not get a NAB nomination but he will be reliable every week.

[The Time is Now 1]

he was great today, a new andy McLeod
