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

Hang on Skittles are valuable!

Your dreaming!

Dan Hannebery rumour is based on the fact he is looking to sell his house in Sydney, he insists this isn't because of a potential move back to vic.


Dan is a much better player then dangarfeild, have to throw million + Sydney could not match much since they already have two million +players.

I heard it on the Super Footy Podcast. Pretty much saying that there are rumours of him wanting to come home .... watch this space.

I do recall there were media rapports when buddy went up there that he as not happy with the agreement and that he felt he was entitled to a bigger slice of the money pie

I have serious concerns for the people who are saying they wouldn't want Harley Bennell at the Dees.

Really ever met him or dealt with him

 

Not related to the Suns but I really hope we have a mega deal Infront of Dylan Shiel, would be the ideal addition, bar maybe Fyfe i can't see any better options given his age, quality and upside. Pay the coin and get the deal done dees

Bennell would be great.

I'd risk the off field stuff. It hasn't effective his on field too much. Yeah his consistency stinks but I really don't care.

Stretch and Toumpas are our quick outside mids this weekend. There's no way we wouldn't be a much better side with Bennell. Even if he's the inconsistent off field clown Bennell.

I bet no one wanted Lumumba and Garlett last year. If the club backed themselves to get the best out of him and we could get him for something like a second round pick then I'd be stoked.

IMO Bennell would at least command our first pick, unless you are referring to Jamie, in which case your suggestion is way overs.

Gold Coast might be keen to sell him if he keeps stuffing up. He's a mess. (But I still want him)

Bennell would easily cost more than our first-rounder. You guys are greatly exaggerating any off-field issues he may have.

Pennant has a pretty good understanding on the WA boys, it may not be such an exaggeration.

...and I think you are more than likely to get him back home 'Pennant', that is if either of the WA clubs show serious interest.

Two things;

1. In answer to your question/s, no and no. I could expand on this by saying I couldn't really care what he is like, as long as he doesn't instigate a culture change (clearly our offield culture is miles better than the Gold Coast's). If he comes in and averages 20-odd possessions a game, that's what I'm interested in. That said, I don't know what you are implying, which brings me to my next point...

2. Have you? If so, what's he like?

TIA.

I wonder - given his talent he hasn't exactly set the world on fire, especially with his consistency.

I bet Prestia has a better career, because he really puts in.

From Gold Coast I'd be keen to make the Prestia fantasy come true - the idea has lurked around for a few years already.

The trouble is, Gold Coast have some how turned out to have such a shallow list that if they lose any of those top half-dozen stars, they're talking rebuild before they have even managed to be competitive. So the price would be high.

I think we'll need a 'proper' ruckman in the near future, so worth keeping an eye on how the Tom Nicholls/Zac Smith situation plays out.

With the caveat we should also be monitoring Luenberger.

1. You may get 1 good year out of him and I personally think you wouldn't even get that over a consistent period, he will think he rules the roost we have nobody Luke Hodge like and that is the only thing close to what could control him long term.

2. Yes and I have formed my opinion based on this and on what others whom I trust have told me about their dealings with him.

Freo may look at him as a replacement for Danyle Pearce, Bennell would be farily handy in tandem with Hill. I think Lyon and him may have some heated moments until he toed the line. Meth Coast need more KPP'S and some bigger bodied mids, they have enough outside downhill skiers

I disagree on your first point. I think having a number of senior players, all from different backgrounds and interests, would have a much better impact on a player than one "bully" leader. His ability is there for everyone to see and make their own judgement on, I think he's an excellent player. Is he inconsistent? At times. Would he be more consistent in our program? Who knows.

In regards to your second point, what's the goss? Is he a thief? Rapist? Murderer? Or just a cocky little plick that thinks he's better than what he is? If it's the latter, then I couldn't really care - as long as he's playing good footy for the club, that's all I care about.

His standing actually went up a few notches with me when I heard Slobbo say that Bennell was trying to pick a fight with him at the Brownlow. He could've graduated to god status had he snotted the sloth, but alas...

  • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

    Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
