haha lachy. comin over 2night?

Bennell midfield. I have said it before, and I will always say it again.

If I was a Melbourne player out of contract and an elite player such as Scully turned down such a lucrative deal, the last thing I'd want to look like is a desperate sloppy seconds recruit. Scully signing will definitely be a positive for us not just him remaining as a demon, but for others to follow suit. Domino effect.

Lets not get as silly as Bomber Thompson did with Gary Ablett and his contract negotiations and talks. He really did not help his situation, just pushed him away further.

The reason why Jack Watts did this was to increase his potential salary value if he had a standout season and was approached by other clubs, which then Melbourne would seek to match - therefore increasing his contract offering by Melbourne. Because he knows he wasn't going to get offered the big bucks this early in his career as he has not had a break out season he signed mid way during the year, leaving it any later would be pointless. Scully may or may not be doing this - just delaying contract signings at Melbourne to increase his salary when offered by GWS as everyone knows he will be a massive player. I'm not worried though, watch Brent Moloney sacrifice his pay and give it to Scully. Just watch

Fevola has been and will be more of a financial and representational burden to Brisbane. Sponsors will demand his release, they will not keep him on.

wow.. cya Fev. Michael Voss, biggest scrub to ever coach a team.

cant wait to see what E25 has to say to this

I remember the umpires were kissing Buddy's behind all day. One which baffled me was when he slid and knocked the ball out of bounds and he called it deliberate against Frawley. That sickened me.

It seems like you lack attention to detail also there champ

Mate, every thread I click on I see you belittling every ones comments its disgusting. You can't post on this forum without having to think your going to defend every little thing you say from someone as Hitler like as you. But ok cut nerd, let me EXPLAIN TO YOU why I think Bennell is our smartest footballer. 1) Whenever I see a player pick up the ball and INSTANTLY get tackled I face palm myself. When I see Bennell chase the ball, he taps the ball in front of him to gain a few extra meters for pace. He has massive awareness he does this pretty much every time. 2) Ever seem to wonder why he makes such a good contest for a grab even though his size would play a major impact for any other player? Its because he knows when to jump and curl his hands so the ball hits on the ground in front of him, crumbing the spoils every time along the wing from kick ins. He does this every time and it always works 3) When he picks up the ball, he knows where to run and how to run with it. He takes the game on and finds amazing pace. This was shown against Sydney first quarter when he applied the accelerator and passed it to Dunn I think it was who kicked a goal. He does this every time but doesn't finish all the time. Stop acting like your apart of the Melbourne Football Department, your a moderator on a website. Get your head straight.

All I see here is sarcasm and cut nerd statements. You really wouldn't know talent if it slapped you in your face, take away the stat sheet and your nothing mate. Sorry about this post, but you really think your a hot shot please change your attitude your driving people away from demonland.com /endrant

Hi I'm E25, I like to troll other peoples post every day and question their opinion. I know what I see in Bennell, and if you cant see it your watching a different game. Just because he doesn't rack up the stats to your liking - doesn't mean he doesn't make the cut of being a smart player. You watch the way he knows how to get clear, or shrug a tackle, or when to speed, or trap the ball. You obviously don't see the little things, just the big picture.

Bennell is our smartest footballer. He just needs to learn to be in the right spots to crumb and get his hands on the footy. Love the way he sprints up the wing from kick ins, takes a mark and delivers it to our forward line. Will be a great player in the future, can guarantee it.

Didn't Chris Tarrant say that if Fremantle won't trade him to Collinwood then he will enter the PSD, and if a team picks him up he will retire if that team isn't Collingwood? Isn't that draft tamperting?

Aussie, Bennell, Jurrah A tripod that will make the opposition tremble in the coming years

Re-read my post, when did I ever say that Bailey should go ahead and do that? You really couldn't see that I was coming from a hypothetical point of a view, and was basically saying that Frawley has the attributes as well to fill a great forward line player like Neitz did? Why in hell would you think I would want him out of our back line when he was made an All-Australian in that position?

Just putting it out there, could you imagine Frawley in the forward line? Reminds me of David Neitz's situation, would have been one of the greats in the back line, but his calling at the time was kicking goals.

Not sure if you guys know about this, I found it hysterical when someone told me. Apparently when they first got trapped, some of the miners wives came to the spot and their mistresses showed up as well. Some of the wives found out who they were there for LOL such bad luck

Why not experiment with Danny Hughes again? I thought he did alright until he got injured?

Honestly, I would consider taking Cloak. Why? I don't understand why people get fixated on someones ability thinking its the be all and end all, and sport players are incapable of improving. All the people posting here right know who are saying "HE CANT KICK, HE IS A DUD BLA BLA", a couple of years ago if Lynden Dunn was playing for another team, and Melbourne were looking at recruiting him, you would be saying the exact same thing about Dunn like you are for Cloak. Now look at Dunn. exactly. We are missing that big bodied Key position forward line player to create a contest, bring the ball to ground and let our crumbing forwards finish it off. Cloak has proven he can hold his own, he can create a contest, take a great mark - Why not consider? Dunn has improved out of sight, obviously at the Melbourne FD we have shown him a thing or two, why can't we do the same with Cloak? At 23 years of age, don't tell me he does not have the years to improve. /endrant

I was thinking of actually getting in cursive writing across my left pec "My heart beats true" Not only you can say its for your footy team when your mates question it, but it could always mean anything in the world when the ladies ask

Melbourne were after Hale because he could create a contest deep in our forward 50, bring the ball to ground and let our small crumbing forwards to the goal snapping. i.e Petterd, Wonna, Jurrah, Bennell, etc We do not need another small forward /end

An amazing ability to win one out battles. Every time he is running back for the ball or chasing it up against one other opposition - I will back Joel all the way

Watch PJ have the preseason of his life, and an exploding 2011 season after all this.
