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.

Just make sure you don't drink them before 2013,,,, WYL!

*Edit::: WYL, I have a thought, I'll wager you another 6 pack of Beer, if you have another, and double it, If Jack Viney comes in to the side in 2013, Bennell will be out. B)

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

You think so....i have watched at least 3 Geelong games this year on TV, and Varcoe has been Dam Solid in each one....he now feels like he is a senior member of the side.

I want Bennell to get to that level. If that happens he will be a gun.

I want Bennell to go and watch Robin Nahas (cant believe I am using him as someone to emulate!!!!).

Nahas has learnt to use his pace and run, unlike JB. Nahas runs and links all the way from the backline to the forward line, JB does not.

JB is a much more impressive lloking player but as of yet has not shown it enough.

He needs to find more of the ball and the way he does that is by running more.

He is never going to be an in and under (although he needs to continue to go when it is his turn) player so use your strengths and run JB!

bennell is still only just turned 21 guys and comparing him to nahas? nahas is like 23. im a big fan of bennell and i think once he builds his engine up he could be vital for us in the midfield. he is very very quick and has such clean hands and amazing below knees! cmon jamie show em up!

Goal against Footscray last year....?? I am with you mate...he will burn in september in the future.

As I said, get back to me. Unlike you, I don't suffer from your prematurity affliction.

It's above his knees and below his neck I'm concerned about. Apparently so is McGrath from the lions, and others.

I am willing to give the talented kids time. They will need it, and we will be rewarded for our patience.

It's ridiculous to claim Bennell's cards will be marked if he doesn't 'perform' over the next three weeks.

To all the Jamie Bennell defenders.

Glad to see you all like him and think he has a long future ahead.

Time will tell if you are right.

I don,t believe I ever said play well in the next three weeks or you are out.

I believe he has a spot guaranteed for the next three weeks (not many alternatives )

If he plays well I will be happy that your faith has been justified.

I will also be happy that we have a good player.

However at this point I just do not see the player that you guys see.

Only one persons opinion

OK guys JB came on for the second half so started when others had played 60 minutes.

Whats your verdict?

I will lead with my chin!

Played the way I expected.

I had hope for a good performance based on your praise yesterday.

but alas the usually bit part player, I must admit he did put his body on the line a couple of times.

Any takers?

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
