    I don't get your selection criteria. Jenkins has has often kicked more than 40 goals in a season and has kicked 22 goals in just 11 games this season, Bennell has hardly played a senior game in 4 years and has no form line. For some reason the goal kicking and durable Jenkins is seen as a risk, Bennell who is battling constant injury concerns and has had many off field distractions is seen as an almost must have opportunity. Jenkins shouldn't been anywhere near the VU Whitten Oval but Bennell should be...I don't get the logic. Lumbering or not, Jenkins plays deep and I don't think he's been exposed in that area.

    And to top it off the jury is apparently still out on Dale after one game.

    I'm not sure we need Jenkins but I don't share the view that he shouldn't be anywhere near the club based on what I've seen.

    I have stated my reasons and they are different to yours.

    Jury out because Dale, every year plays one or two good games and then disappears. I want him to be consistent every week, and contribute.

    I think it's pretty simple. Jenkins will cost a shite load and unless we're sending Naughton back full time (which I don't want to do) , BAD is right in that it pretty much means Schache or Trengove have to go. Jenkins' ceiling is low and he has more stinkers than solid games. Bennell is a bigger risk but you'd think would be prepared to prove himself for unders. If it works the sky is the limit. We're crying out for a skillful, quick outside goalkicker not a washed up never been who is going to take the spot of one of our developing talls.

    But age is being offered up as the reason and that he is supposedly lumbering. I'm not sure we need him but compared to Bennell he seems like less of a risk

    Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?

    I don't want either of them but I can understand the rationale behind our supposed interest in Bennell re. potential skill set. FWIW we have the cash and I'd prefer to go for a bone fide smart small like Martin or Tippa. Maybe Bennell is plan C but I don't get the Jenkins discussion. He's behind our current two tall forwards at the moment at least as far as I'm concerned.

    We were looking at giving up the Ward pick for him IIRC, which probably means no Macrae. Sometimes we really are saved from ourselves.

    Honestly? If Dustin Martin says he's too loose. That's saying something.
    Club's no dickhead's policy seems to be going well. No thanks.

    No way to Bennell
    Potential a grader, but no for me
    No to Jenkins also , as we have Schache developing nicely now

    With your dislike of Stringer I'm surprised you'd want Harley anywhere near our list.

    Given Bennell tried to fight a journo at the Brownlow you'd have to think Bevo would be a fan.

    Heard on the radio that one Victorian club has contacted Bennell's management. Hawthorn would be my guess.

    Agree, Bennell is next level DH compared to Jake.

    I have more sympathy for someone brought up under his circumstances. No one wanted Sydney Stack and he has been turned around.

    Jake well, besides his off field behavior which was lower than low, he is actually a very ordinary footballer, who has potential, but he is too lazy to work hard. 7 disposals last night proved that.
