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.

So be it.

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.

Big chance

but it is ok to Rape the likes of the MFC through free agency.

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?

Free agency has been pretty good to us OD

yeah but....if players want to leave....?

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.

But OD I thought the AFL said all clubs would benefit from free trade?

Come on, let I remind you of how we aquired a guy called Angus Brayshaw...

No i am just angry!!!

Not at all suprised this has happened either, what i am suprised about is that it has been hidden for over 2 years

Over to you Bluey Mckenna....

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

Some Catholic clergy managed to combine the God squad and the Party Squad.

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.
