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.

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.

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.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
