They've just suspended Bennell, Matera and McKenzie for boozing it up.

They're having a laugh up there, and I reckon we're more likely to grab some of their talent than GWS'.

Not wanting to turn this into another JW thread, but he could go up there to get out of the bright spotlight of Melbourne.

And Bennell could use a club with a better culture.

    If we could snare Bennell, that would be a major plus... he's had a bit of an ordinary year so far, but I still think that on his day he is one of the more dangerous players in the comp.

    Trent Mckenzie, Charlie Dixon and Brandon matera would be good, straight swap for jack watts and a pack of skittles?

    Bennell is lazy, he will end his career a half talent.

    Perfect swap then.

    Maybe they are all missing what Karmichael Hunt brought to the table!

    Cocaine?

    He was anything but lazy on the weekend, a heap of gut running in a close-to BOG performance. He is almost the perfect compliment to our midfield mix.

    Bennell doesn't need a club with a better culture, he needs a better attitude

    Not sure if inheriting players from a troubled culture is a recipe for success.

    Disgruntled players fed up with their undisciplined teammates, however...

  • Quote

    Thats right!

    Who did Bennell Vomit on? :o

    I wouldn't take Bennell. He has all the talent in the world, but I suspect he is only just hanging in there.

    Gold Coast taken a BIG risk by drafting him, and I think he is doing a good job to hold it together.

    I thought he'd be home by now.

    McKenzie would be a good target for us.

  • Quote

    Agree re McKenzie is a good talent gone off the rails. Think he would thrive under our footy dept.

    His kicking would really bring something that's missing.

    Let's raid the Gold Coast? Count me in, I need a holiday. Which pub do we start with?

    do you think you could pass as a Schoolie?

    Bennell will probably head back to Perth.

    Remember it was Hunt that helped settle him at GC when he was homesick. He is a massive talent but in danger of not realising it.

    Lock in Mckenzie as a target. Would come close to being the best kick in our team if we picked him up. Rate him highly.

  • Quote

    I realise his shoulder is a bit iffy but I wouldn't mind having Ablett.

    Seriously though, Rodney Eade must be wondering how this has all gone [censored]-up.

  • Quote

    They've got a lot of talent but there appear to be significant cultural issues at the moment. Eade has made comments about how the players seem to think they're the greatest bunch of players to ever grace the field and that wins will just happen for them. That's the last kind of attitude a player at Melbourne could afford to have.

    Steer clear of Bennell

    Targets from the Suns IMO

    Dixon and Prestia,

    and of course O'Meara but no chance

    Not sure about Dixon. We're OK for big forwards but still 4-5 good mids short. Yes to prestia. No to benell

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
