Imagine if Darren Burgess our fitness guru gets him right.. Not only will he be EXACTLY what we need. But we could be a team that talented players with niggling injuries turn to as an opportunity to get themselves right. At the moment, blokes like Jager Omeara, Scully, Paton are turning to Hawks for that reason. Doesn't work out? Oh well, they are the expectations from the whole football world anyway. Expand You have a lot to lose when you bring in a player who causes off field issues and brings other players around him down. Quote

Scully was the number 1 pick by a mile in his draft year and every team would have taken him at no.1. As for Dusty even Richmond put him on the trade table. Edited August 7, 2019 by Demons11 Quote

Expand That's not true Richmond never put Dusty on the trade table, Dusty's manager shopped Dusty around, he even invited himself to have a look around at GWS training Base, then Caroline Wilson wrote a couple of bad articles about Dusty and all of a sudden nobody wanted him.

The supplemental list period allows clubs to have guys train with them before officially being listed. That's the move for Bennell. If his body holds up all summer and he's ready to play by March that's when you give him a contract. Expand Spot on, or even make him go back to VFL/SANFL/WAFL level and earn it for 6 months then come through in the mid-season draft. Quote

K-dog 8 Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) I was feed information 3 weeks ago that Melbourne officials had been in touch with Bennell and his management...

Demonland 74,560 Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 On the surface I don't like this unless we give up peanuts for him and I don't mean a late draft pick I mean actual peanuts. Trading in injury prone players is our specialty so he'll fit right at home for a year before he is delisted or retires. Of course I'll be tickled pink if I'm wrong but I'm not particularly ticklish. 1 Quote
