HI WYL Bennell was already in mate!

And not sure I was into bashing.

Just don't like his contribution so far.

You want to check the site again!

Sure you were Bashing....You want him top line in 3 weeks...Varcoe was trash until last year.

It is a matter of opinion what constutues "bashing",

However if I give my opinion that I do not believe Bennell has what it takes, and you believe it is "bashing", well so be it.

As I said before it is only my opinion Right or wrong.

Thank you Master.

Some players are going to have to step up massively over the next 4-6 weeks while we slowly get some of our team back. Big opportunity for the likes of Jetta and Bennell who have both been thereabouts in our best 25, also a big load for Stef to bare until the Rad Russian is back.

Some interesting times ahead.

I believe Robbie Campbell also played a half in the Casey Reserves last week. Would be good if he could step up to the plate sooner rather than later...

You're bashing.

And four goals against Port last year not enough for you to see the kid has obvious talent to burn?

Thanks BB I knew someone would find the game I missed.

Was on a cruise at the time.

Yes I know it is a tough life but someone has to do it.

Now back to Bennell so that I do not "bash" him again what would you say constitutes a "good " game for him tomorrow?

Not being a smart arse I would just like to know your thoughts.

Yes it is a matter of opinion, and i am allowed to think yours is way out of line.

Jamie Bennell will be a very good player, i will wage a six pack on it.

And if you continue to "Bash" him on here i will continue to pull you up.

As an old timer you should have more wisdom, a later bloomer is usually by far the better player.

Darren Cuthbertson was a legend for 2 weeks in 1991.....I would hope Bennell is remembered in terms of years rather than days.

Carry on.

HaHaHa!! After all that Bennell Bashing, Jetta is in! :lol:

Golden stuff Guys, you made me laugh during a rubbish Friday work day....Thanks.

Let's hope Jetta plays a game like he did in Darwin last year....WE NEED YOU NEV.

Bennell Bashing,,,? what a good Idea. I wonder if Beamer has invited him away to his boxing camps? He needs to do some ring work, to get his self belief Up.

I like the potential of Bennell, with his running game. But the trouble is It's always running awayfrom. Not running Into the contested ball situation. you wouldn't exppect him to do this all the time as he can be so damaging when he has the ball, But he Must learn to win his share of contested ball as well, to be a Team Player.

I thought that was what Demonland was all about.

The trouble with some late bloomers WYL is they leave it so late we never get to see it.

Old Dee isn't far off the money, perhaps deciding his whole career in the next 3 weeks is a little off.

But people on here have massively overrated Bennell so far, he has shown glimpses of talent amongst huge chunks of going missing, spattered with glimpses of not going when he should.

After a few weeks of terribly soft team efforts coming to ahead against WC, Bennell was one of the 3 'softer' blokes dropped. Good on him for going to Casey and playing well, but he is lucky we copped these injuries, and this is indeed an important time for him to show something, and grow from being dropped.

The Varcoe comparison is an apt one, I said the same thing last year, I hope Bennell can improve like Varcoe did.

I hope it doesn't happen, but how awesome it would be to see big Maxy Gawn out there.

I hope it doesn't as well, having seen him at Casey a couple of times I think he is some ways off AFL standard yet.

I think a game this early might set him back a bit.

However, no Martin and he is probably in for better or worse.

Our team is young O.D. Jamie has plenty of time, But Tomorrow would be a great start, our list is now being really tested as our top 2 draft picks are out along with Jordie & Frank Grimes.

Jamie will be raring to go i predict ... tomorrow we really need our captain working overtime. I hope he relishes the opportunity.

I am glad you see things I don't.

My comment is that he has 3 weeks where it is doubtfull we have anyone to take his place.

After that we hopefully will have a number of players pushing for a spot.

On past and current form would you play him in preference to Trengove, Mckenzie or Scully?

Add in Blease and Strauss maybe in a few weeks time.

I look forward to seeing something.

I have never seen him play a game where I would put him in the top 10 of our players.

Bate and Dunn had plenty of games in the earlier years where they were inside the top 10.

Just does not do anything for me.

Happy to be wrong.

Don't think it is fair to say to Bennell "3 weeks or that's it."

And Dunn did nothing in his first three years. I would argue he has played half a season of good footy and half a season of decent footy.

He's going to find it difficult to keep his place when everyone is fit, but that isn't because he isn't developing, it is because of our talent.

Bennell will be a very good player. Please bookmark my call and feel free to bag me in a few years if I'm wrong. He can have moments of sheer class. Yes they are few and far between at the moment but younger players are clearly more inconsistent. He probably has as big an upside as any of our youngsters and I for one, feel more excited about this guy than most. He'll be good, very good.

Saying he'll improve or become a very good player is one thing, predicting he'll burn in september is as stupid as saying the next 3 weeks will decide his career.

Aaron Davey is a very good player, hasn't got a kick in September, Leon Davis has had one exceptional season and then didn't get a touch in September.

Bennell is softer than both, and hasn't shown anything near what either of those 2 showed in their first 10 games...

you've got to be joking, in JB's 40 games he has put together a pretty impressive highlight reel

Looking forward to seeing the indigenous five (Davey, Jurrah, Wonna, Jetta, Benell) all out there together tomorrow.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this would be the first time all 5 have been in the senior side together, yeah?

Could make for some really exciting footy.

Reason for edit: Just realised there was a thread for this already... exciting nonetheless.

Hey i put a six pack on it so i reckon he will be a gun....2 years ago did you predict anything of Varcoe?? personally i just thought his shoulders would fall off & he would just retire.

The Brothers take longer to mature.Bennell is not big, but is fast with skills...if you think that means he is soft as butter go for your life. Bennell is not built like Lethal Leigh.

Ah, you've had it hard.

I'd like to see lots of chasing, forward pressure and see him make use of his exceptional pace. Just needs to play his role tomorrow.

Varcoe hasn't been that good this year IMO. He's building slowly though.

I hear what your saying but alan johnson he is not. Johno was hard on himself and would will himself to go where angels like Bennell fear to tread.

Bennell will be a very good player, but zIf we don't make him learn to "Go", then he''s shown too many times consistently over a 3 Year period now, that he won't. Thats why he's now being dropped, because the selectors are getting impatient with Him,,, and Morton.. We have other players Now demanding those spots in the side.

Over to You,,,, Jamie.

The boys have a major weapon for the narrows of the dome. Agility, if they use it.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
