Let's raid the Gold Coast

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...

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.


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.


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.

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

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
