Let's raid the Gold Coast

[Deestroy All 14,262]

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.

[hardtack 10,514]

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.

[Gorgoroth 12,920]

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

[Ted Lasso 19,284]

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

[Deestroy All 14,262]

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

Perfect swap then.

[chook fowler 19,444]

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

Cocaine?

[chook fowler 19,444]

Cocaine?

I know nothing!

[Ethan Tremblay 30,825]

I thought it was Harmichael?

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

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

[SaberFang 7,151]

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

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

[PaulRB 6,342]

Thats right!

Who did Bennell Vomit on?

[KingDingAling 3,752]

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.

[chook fowler 19,444]

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.

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.

[Demon Jack 6,859]

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.

[chook fowler 19,444]

do you think you could pass as a Schoolie?

Or Toolie

[McQueen 17,864]

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.

[Moonshadow 17,675]

How about a stoolie?

[titan_uranus 24,970]

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.

[Pennant St Dee 13,105]

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
