does no one remember the talk that went around about him at the crows, although it was after he'd re-signed. i know a lot of people around here don't think he's any good, and constantly attack his awareness, but he's played 2 games for the season. no-one can switch straight back on after being out for almost half a season. give him (and everyone else for that matter) some time. all the chopping and changing every week does no one any good. pick your team and let them play. they can't do much worse.
i honestly think that Bell would get a game in many other sides (call me naive or stupid if you will). IMHO, Bell does get caught sometimes, but so do a lot of others. maybe rather than attacking the guy who puts his head over the ball and gets caught with it, we should be having a go at the guy standing just off to the side, not communicating, and waiting for the easy stat.. (would be so easy to name some of those slack, stat racking up players, but i wont).
like i said, perhaps Bell would be better off somewhere else... but hindsight is a wonderful thing and can often bite you in the ass.
