We all develop a fondness for different players over others.

There are a lot of Bennell bashers on this forum, but not me.

In my mind he reminds me a lot of the great Stanley Alves, speed, agility, daring, leap, intensity, desire to take on the opposition. A couple of years and he will be an A grader.

I have a great fondness for him as well. he really gets better as the year progresses.

I have been playing with nicknames for him. Started with bennell...long.

Then my mate started excitedly yelling "bennelli on the Tele". (dunno why, we are at the game.)

But he reminds me of a character from "the Wire" so I call him Bubs.

Good one Redleg. Someone should make a banner saying 'JB, you've done it again'

I still think he'll be a HBF / winger mostly. Like Jarrod Harbrow.

You're right, Bennell does like to present up the wing. He has great burst of speed and can peel of his man very easily to create an option. This was shown in the very first goal on Sunday where he picked it up and sprinted into the forward 50 and centered the ball which Dunn kicked

Yeah, I loved that bit of play and the confidence he showed to back himself and sprint away from his opponent and kick it too the hot spot. From memory he play a key role in another goal in the first quarter with a silky smooth pick up of a somewaht wayward Davey pass and then a centering kick into the forward 50. Definate potential in this kid to become a part of a premiership side

Have we got him signed up , as I hear a rumour that the Gold Coast were keen?

Nifty and Bennell signed on for 2 more years earlier this year.

Harbrow is a good call. Doggies fan hammered him for being soft and no up to it. Not sure Bennell about HB cause i'm liking that Bennell, Jurrah, Wonnah combo.

He's going to be a player.

Bennell is a gun! The Eagles would be spewn we beat them to him by one pick.

I call him Benny!

Rate him very highly. I am considering getting his number on my jumper!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
