Re: HARLEY BENNELL
I dont think we are going to get him. But I agree with you. It is nothing like the Lovett trade. Makes my blood boil when people say that. It is pretty clear they are comparing them because they are indigenous even though as players and people they have nothing in common. Lovett didnt play an AFL game until he was 23. Bennell already has almost 100. Just no comparison at all. Bennell is also a much better player. Tougher. More consistent. Lovett was also more troubled off field.Fluttz wrote:Either way, still think Bennell is a risk we can take.

Re: HARLEY BENNELL
Who made you judge and jury on who are 'dickheads'? Do you know Harley personally? If not stfu. If you are just basing your 'assessment' on a herald sun photo taken in 2012 (and article by slobbo) when he was 20yo - then I think maybe its you with the personality problem.saynta wrote:Con Gorozidis wrote:I dont think we are going to get him.

Ill say it again for the flogs among you. Lovett and Bennell have nothing in common. They are completely different.

Re: HARLEY BENNELL
Give them pick 5 or whatever it ends up, get Bennell and O'Meara.
Givw them pick 5, get Bennell and the pick they get for Dixon, probably 11 or 12.

If you have a certificate saying you are a certified personality assessor then thats fine. You can call anyone you like a d**khead. Thats your specialist skill. You are just doing your job.

I think they will just say they are looking to trade him. Doubt they would give away a first rounder for nothing.

pick 5 for Bennell and O'Meara is a HUGE risk.
O'Meara's knee is completely buggered and he may never play again.
Bennell is a risk but worth it for a second rounder
