Not sure that Bennell would be beyond the ability of Roos, Goodwin and McCartney and mentors such as Cross and Petracca. I think that we should give it a go!

No way!

I understand the principle of high risk and high reward, but stupidity is never rewarded.

    Guys if we were gonna cross out peoples names because they were doing coke, we'd be crossing out a lot of the names in the AFL.

    I'm sure that's true Pipe, but that doesn't change my view.

    Bennell, despite his obvious football talent, has a history of breaking team rules. Clearly he is a very 'high maintenance' player, and I don't want players of that ilk on our list.

    On a pure football basis he is very lazy, backs his undoubted talent but won't do the hard work.

    Not sure we need this type of footballer on our list let alone the baggage he carries.

    Sure did Gd

    It also shows how stupid the AFL's three strike rule is.

    Players know they will be unlucky to get caught and can get caught twice before anyone knows.

    I have always thought it is more about keeping the problem out of the spot light than finding the problems.

    Could not have put it better myself OD

    I think the AFL will try and stop them losing too many players.

    You mean like the "Sydney can't trade" rule they brought in last year out of nowhere?

    Maybe we'll see a "You can't take GC players" rule this year.

    What has really gone on up there?

    All these high draft picks have been sent up there

    WE have all paid for this just so TV can monoplize

    The Gold Coast $un$

    Very angry about this...

    Wyl you seriously think the AFL cares about what goes on? As long as their "market base" for AFL is (according to them) expanding along with the base revenue then i really dont think the AFL care about much as long as they field a half decent competitve team. Oh wait, they arent are they! Ok the AFL would probably be a bit worried now.

    P.S. are u angrier about this than normal?

    Id much rather be on the party squad

    And id never play for a captain who tried to make the team pray before a game. No wonder they are a rabble.

    Party squad for sure.

    Apparently there's a huge split between the "God squad" and the "party squad." Almost irreparably so. I imagine Rocket wouldn't be helping the situation, at all.

    I was totally and completely persuaded by the intellectual integrity of this argument but am now having trouble reconciling Gary Ablett's return with the stunning GC victory tonight

    P.S. it's not that I'm saying it was the most moronic thing I've ever seen

    There have been others to compete and a couple of those recently on Demonland to do with drugs and social policy

    And some others in the Australian

    Don't agree CBDees this will end in tears.

    The MFC have finally got a good culture developing I do not want that risked by an idiot.

    Leopards and spots is my view.

    Chase someone who is unhappy being at the GCS not a drug head.

    spot on 'od',,,,, leopards & spots, 'n' all that.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
