Must be a slow news night. This story was the one we heard early last week. Dodgy news corp attempting to get cheap clicks.

There is absolutely nothing new about this news...

Clickbait. The story about Bennell is almost a week old. It talks about Friday’s practice match v North Melbourne in the future tense.

The original story wasn’t exactly what you would describe as “Bad News For Bennell” but rather, as bad news for those who want to rush a player when he’s not ready. That’s something completely different.

Jeez what a ridiculous piece of click bait, it’s just talking about how we said (last week) we’ll be taking things super slow and steady with him. 

Sometimes I genuinely wonder if they wake up and ask each other “how do we create a news story today?”

Anything to do with Bennell will be big news. If he makes it back they have a Cinderella story. If not, it gives them a chance to label it a failure and dredge up his past...

Goodwin mentioned this is a presser over a week ago. The footy media is an absolute cesspool.

However, I hope the club forewarned HB that tripe like this is a regular occurrence in the Victorian media & that for every muppet like Brad Hardie in Perth there are 10 of them in Melbourne. All trying to have the loudest voice

I don’t think anyone on here was expecting him till mid season. To me it is almost good news, just confirms what we already knew. 
Harley can build form from the back end of the season and be cherry ripe for finals. Yay!

When the panic buying from the corona virus clears the shops of toilet paper we will finally find a good use for the Hun.

"Where are all today's stories? You know you're on a quota, you lazy ******s!"

"But boss ... it's a slow news day ... there's nothing happening ..."

"So you want all the clicks to go to the Daily Mail and the Nine web site, do you? Do you know how much **** I get from head office if our numbers drop?"

"But boss ..."

"I want six stories on line by noon from each of you, or you're all out of here at 12:05!"

"Yes boss. Of course boss."

If Channel 7 Seven got the sole rights to televise The AFL Footy on FTA instead of Murdoch then that would be a real scoop according to Ralphy, wouldn't it????

Not much love for the Dees in that crew. Using Bennell as a scapegoat or frontman for another failing Demons' year, that is all. Had Bennell gone to The Filth, they would now be outright Premiership favourites and Bennell would be the graceful archangel to carry them to a flag inside the six months of game readiness during the 2020 season, all in the eyes of cant and journalistic desperation. Stuffem and ignore.

I often wonder if the likes of the author of this piece are self-loathing people. Honestly, how could you ever take pride in your work when this is your chosen line of business? Then again, he’s probably not bright enough to be that self-aware.

Also, are there people out there that actually pay their hard-earned for a Herald Sun subscription?

Ralph is a 3rd rate journalist.

I remember when they were announcing Goody's appointment to coach under Roos prior to becoming head coach, every station had the audio feed except for SEN. The reason being that Ralph was on it at that exact moment swearing black and blue that Goodwin was a sure thing to become the Crows head coach.

When there are the likes of Robinson and Ralph to read, how could anyone afford not to @Nasher?

Love this quote from the article:  

"AFL.com.au understands he privately passed other tests in recent weeks, including sprints away from the club's main training oval at Gosch's Paddock."

Yes Nasher me!

still have the Hun delivered daily and with it come a digital membership.

We both still enjoy reading a "paper" ( yes we are old) .

I do use the digital service but prefer reading the real paper.

i also use digital services for news from around the world as well but like all forms of "news" you have to discerning about who the info comes from but nothing has changed in that respect.

True, but I doubt if the HS is a discerning choice OD.  You need to break these old habits to stay forever young.

To be honest sue I don't want to as well it is difficult to change the habits of a life time.

I do believe I am fairly with it in the 21st century sue, well a lot more than some of my friends. 

However you do reach a point I have discovered where you start to lose interest in constant change. 

I could however easily handle a change in the fortunes of the MFC.

Some champions executing their skills can can not only look different but sound different, e.g. when Adam Gilchrist used to hit the ball. That's what came to mind watching, and listening, to Bennell's kick in the video clip of that drill.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
