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!

 
not as much as jousting sticks![/quote

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...

  • 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.
