    Perhaps and perhaps.

    His value just dropped though, and if they lose talls/rucks then perhaps we could offer someone up. The rumour mill does have a Qld team offering Ayce a three year deal which is why I mentioned his name. I like the player HB, but serious question marks about his application makes me reluctant to offer something big.

      Re: List Management 2015

      Bennell will take a 1st rounder, even now. He has so many weapons, clubs will be taking a chance on him.

      All of his transgressions seem to happen post season. Last year it was the coke with Karmichael immediately after the season and those photos of him with the speed were Oct/Nov as well from memory.

      I don't have a strong opinion on his suitability for us, at his best he is the perfect addition to our midfield (big bodied, explosive, great runner, good ball user, goalkicker), but will cost a packet and could damage culture.

      I suspect he'll be more valuable to others and we won't be serious competitors for him. If we have 1 big spend this trade period, surely it'll be on a ruckman or a kpd.

        Is there any more on Treloar?

          From what I've seen speculated, Rich and Coll (and maybe StK) are in something of a bidding war and stupid amounts are being offered to him. Really doubt we're players there.

            Ayce won't be at the GC next year.. They are over-stocked in the big man department already and will be looking to get rid of some, and not add more.

            With the word already coming out that GC that they are after 22-27 year old talent I would think we would need to offer someone like Wallis to get the deal done.

              I see things differently and believe a player like Bennell is our main priority.. We desperately need to add some more pace and class around the ball.

                I have a source that suggests Collingwood has him wrapped up and a deal is inevitable.

                  I think he prefers to go to Collingwood.

                    Wallis wouldn't even be considered by us would be my guess. I wonder if Hrovat was put up whether that would generate any interest?

                      Hrovat + ?

                      For all his troubles off the ground Bennell is an A-grader with the potential to be elite, Hrovat for all intents & purposes is a VFL player.

                        Fair enough, you can never have too many midfielders.

                        However, with Bont, Macrae, Hunter, Stevens, MacLean, Grant, Stringer, Dahl, as well as the quality inside-mids and JJ, Wood and Bob coming off half back, I don't see our pace and class position as being one of desperate need.

                            Bennell would be an awesome get. I would LOVE to have him.
