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...

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Carlton

    The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
