Jamie Bennell

Wasn't aware he was a talented cricketer. Also noted the article said we are on a 5 game losing streak which isn't true, we are just on a 5 game winless streak :o

 

Bennell being a late bloomer says a lot about his prospects for further development. I get the impression Jamie is only getting started.

Jamie is a little gun-He will make it. He is always moving-just wait till he learns to read the ball movement that little bit better.


Funny they used a photo of him in a Casey jumper.

Picture in the paper is of his mark against Dogs...nothing against Casey but have to have the Dees jumper surely!

Jamie is going to be a gun for our side, hope he can win one of mark or goal of the year, or better yet both :)

thought this kid needed this thread bumbed as idont want to start a new,

Jamie today along with this season has grown in leaps and bounds and i really was impressed not just with his attacking play but his overall defensive attitude and willingness to take the gam on.

I just hope Jamie keeps on applying himself and just could be that next big thing.

 

I love it when he backs his pace to beat opposition players. He can look really good when he's on.

And since that's the first time i've read that article, it'll be handy having him as a cricketer for the next time we player the filth in a twenty:20!

If he starts to get the footy 20-30 times a game he will be very damaging.

He would be my pick along with Wona as smokeys on our list to become A graders.

getting involved.

Jamie has turned the corner for the better since an indiscretion earlier in the year. He's having a go & really taking it to 'em.

That indiscretion has been the catylist Imo, to this maturity.

He was fantastic today, but Sydney were woeful, & there was space everywhere.

His target for next year should be to double his current average possession count.

It can be difficult to get a lot of the ball when you're playing as a small forward, especially when we're getting smashed in the middle and the ball is barely seen in our forward 50, but he is so damaging when he gets it, that for me, he needs to push up the ground when his corner of the world is drying up, and get his hands on the footy.

20 possessions a game from Bennell, is like a 20 possession game from Davey because it means 18-19 disposals that are so spot on they burn the opposition and put us into a scoring position. And like Davey, his first instinct needs to become "run".

Agree with that. He has many weapons at his disposal, wouldn't go as far as saying like Rioli but similar in that he has potential to be very very damaging.

I don't care what anyone says, but I watch Bennell closely and he is probably our smartest and most talented players he just doesn't seem to be able to find the ball as much as we would like.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
