    I wish people wouldn't do that.

    I know. You shouldn't be allowed to nominate your club.

    Aren't Roos and Rocket reasonably good mates?

    They share an interest (get paid by chemist warehouse) about prostate problems.

    It's all become so clear now, like taking a pee after drinking 10 litres of water. Bennell will be a Demon.

    Agreed. He's the exact type of player we need. Just got to back in our environment.

    Would be a fair combo PRB. Petracca will need time.

    Will our environment pass muster MW?

    I think I just wet my pants with excitement.

    After a long time where we probably couldn't honestly say yes, hopefully we've now got the right people in the relevant places RTG.

    I'd like to see us take the risk. It's going to take a series of calculated gambles coming off to get us pushing for a flag again in this age of free agency, with the powerful clubs staying at the top of the ladder for longer.

    Another follow up in response to someone asking why us and what the chances are:

    Fair to say he was positive. I'd only heard the rumours we weren't interested. When he said to me we are getting Bennell I questioned it. I know how close this guy and Nev are. He said he'd spoke to Nev today and the meeting was a couple of days ago. Why would he choose us? I can't answer that . Maybe we are a destination club

    Idk. Doesn't sound convincing to me.

    I can report that Colin Sylvia will not be returning to the club to act as mentor.

    Yeah I don't know. Bullsh1tters are usually pretty easy to spot - they're usually the ones who big-note and try to go into too much detail in an attempt to sound convincing.

    This guy isn't pretending to know an exorbitant amount, and it's a plausible story.

    Certainly doesn't mean it's a done deal but it's nice to be talking about a potential A-grader possibly coming to the club again rather than spuds like Melksham and Bastinac.

    Not even annoyed if it turns out to be BS. It's a very nice thought.

    Probably means it's true.

  • Quote

    Wow, didn't expect to read that this morning!

    Will be thrilled if true. What will get the deal done? Howe & Pick 6 for Bennell & Gorringe?

  • Quote

    It was rumoured on facebook that Bennell rates Roos highly.

    You can forget Prestia if Bennell lands at MFC

    I hope the rumor is true, but given Roos was quoted in this article:

    http://m.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/tigers-to-weigh-up-harley-bennell-dees-and-roos-wont-20150916-gjocyi.html

    Only week ago that we wouldn't pursue him, you have to wonder what's changed?

    Could be typical Roos smoke and mirrors to divert attention elsewhere…. Hopefully

  • Quote

    Really hope it's true.

    We need to land one of Bennell / Hartlett / Prestia / O'Meara this coming trade period.

    Absolutely agree.

    Plus a Redden, Melksham, Bastinac or Moore (from Port).

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
