My mail is Bennell wants to come pending some further investigation into his injuries. The ops he has had and rehab required means he won’t be available until mid way through the season.
A very big difference between Stack and Bennell. Taking the off field issues out of it, Bennell has barely played footy for 3 years. I dare say the persistent lower leg issues would also cause him to lose a bit of zip.
Carlton offered a very good deal. GC have academy kids coming through and future 2nd and 3rd is worth pick 13. The issue is that AFL has given GC these extra picks and concessions, so they didn’t accept Carlton’s offer.
Stupid by GC.
So they way I see it, we win the flag in 2020 and with all the academy and father sons next year we are trading pick 26 in 2020, 26 and 50 this year for pick 8.
Bloody good deal
