But can he 'gimme the news'?

No but Max might be able to, as he is a good palmer of the ball.

We have absolutely nothing to lose and so much to gain by picking him up. 

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. 

You have a lot to lose when you bring in a player who causes off field issues and brings other players around him down.

Dusty was always a better player then both scully and trengove, all Scilly has is his running power Trengove was alway a 1, dimensional player, the only reason he went at 3 is because of his family background

Mr Hindsight is that you.

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.

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.

I said it earlier in this thread but I'll say it again. 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. 

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.

Sorry to intrude, interesting to hear Tim Watson this morning say the CEOs have reportedly voted in the last couple of days for the mid-season draft to be scrapped. No reasons given as yet, possibly something to do with TPP.

I was feed information 3 weeks ago that Melbourne officials had been in touch with Bennell and his management...

Calf injury will be a problem of the past as they found something that’s been missed previously...

Now all this is starting to come to light!.. I can confirm we are the club in question!..

 From everything I’m heard with the calf problem solved... it’s a risk worth taking..

AFL media circles! It must be true, they never lie, speculate or embellish. I thought you had real info.

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.

Demonland is probably the only place anyone actually cares really...

cant do it on Facebook, people know me and know who my source is... and that would bad for all involved..

the one part I don’t like is how his manager has come out and said this... obviously they want more clubs than just Melbourne to be interested..

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
