I'd doubt it will be us.

I hope not.

Skilled yes, dedicated maybe, healthy no unfortunately.

I think it’s unlikely anyone will pick him up or rookie him at the start of the season. Most likely play state league and if he stays fit and performs well he might find his way onto a list in the mid season draft.

Latest rumour has us into Keath....

Don't mind that at all, he has a very high ceiling IMO. Imagine a guy like that under Rance's onfield tutelage for a few seasons....

Wouldn't go near Bennell for several reasons, but mainly because he used us and then snubbed us at the end of 2015 when we rolled out the red carpet for him.

My only reservation re: Keath is his age - will be 28 next year, even though he hasn't been in the system that long and wouldn't have as much wear and tear as your typical 28 y.o. player, still wouldn't want to be giving up too much - he won't be free like Pickett was.

Speaking on SEN Breakfast, Garry Lyon and Sam Edmund believe Richmond are a club that could get the best out of the talented, but injury-prone midfielder.

“There is one (club) that comes to mind,” Edmund said.

Lyon replied: “Richmond.”

The former Melbourne captain went on to explain why the Tigers are the right club to resurrect Bennell’s career.

“Most clubs are probably hoping they don’t take a punt on him, because if he works and Marlion Pickett works and Sydney Stack works, the rest of them look pretty silly," Lyon said.

If this new surgery/treatment is real, why not ala sydney stack scenario kind of thing.
Will be only chance and last chance, would be P funny if we pulled it off.

I like the idea of offering bennell a lifeline, maybe tell him we'll rookie list him and not to train with any other clubs.

Then don't rookie him haha

Might just have to let Mr. Bennell pack his stuff ups into a bag and take them with him on a search for a new career path.  He can ponder the bag in his new career holding the stop sign up at road works.
