    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.

  • Quote

    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).

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
