Bennell Gone For The Year

Featured Replies

Sad to hear another Demon gone for the year and this time it is Bennell.

Ruptured ACL according to Neeld.

Regardless of form or position in the team it is a shocking injury and I wish Jamie all the best in his recovery.

 

all the best jamie have a speedy recovery!

Yeah -- all the best. Is his contract up this year? Some have had him as a delist, and this surely can't help his cause.

 

real shame - I saw a bit from him today that I hvent seen in years. So its a pity that he hasnt been able to show what he can do this season consistently.


Jamie was great today but also did not see the incident. Cheers for speedy recovery little fellow.

Terribly tough on Jamie. The remainder of the season was huge in the context of his place on our list, and now he has to spend it on the sidelines. Have a speedy and complete recovery Jamie.

 

Shocking News, much maligned but has played well last 2 weeks, speedy recovery and look foward to seeing him playing next year in the red and blue, and the club will do the right thing by him Im sure


I didn't even see it....when did it happen??

A bit of a dogs act by McPharlin in a marking contest put Jamie off balance while he was in the air and his knee buckled as he landed.

I would have to see it again but I'm pretty sure there was nothing sinister from McPharlin. Just landed really awkwardly and sort of rolled his ankle which must have put a bit of pressure on his knee. Hope he gets over it and is ready to go for pre-season.

Good luck Jamie.

No one wants to see a guy hurt his knee or other serious career threatening injury.. I hope your surgery goes really well & best of luck next year.

Hope he recovers quickly. I don't think we'll see him in a red and blue jumper again.

Actually he is in a spot But, this could be a blessing for him come the draft.

I think anyone who ever thought Bennell would be delisted this year was kidding themselves.

He'll be at the club next season, no question.

I think there are some doubts that your post is correct.I am one that feel even before his injury,he was under a cloud.

Don't like hearing an opinion different to yours, smart arse?

what is your sauce? do remember his contract is up this year..

Ironically his injury makes it much less likely he'll be delisted.


I had the binoculars on him as he was being assisted down the race. His knee was sticking out at a terrible angle - and the pain on his face said it all.

Speedy recovery Jamie.

Doc Larkins analysed the injury on the telly this morning and said that there was a lot of work for the surgeons to do, as there was lateral damage too.

He said at least a year, and a likely career-threatening injury.

FYI.

 

Depending upon actual prognosis he might become a candidate for being paid out. Whether anyone likes it or not; Bennel included unfortunately :(

I dont think you watch the game last week against Richmond if you think that was good we are in trouble.

How are we kidding ourself he has done very little since coming to the club and maybe averged 6 touches a game.

He has done sweet f all and is in alot of danger IMO.

All the best with the knee mate but i fear he might not get another chance.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
