Pick 5 might end up being pick 10. Also Bennell has to be better than a 2nd rounder. How many 2nd rounders have played 90 games at 22? Newnes hasnt even done that and he is a freak. Must be 1/100.Bunk_Moreland wrote:borderbarry wrote: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.
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

Yup. And just in case there's any doubt, they're tweeting it ...plugger66 wrote:Bunk_Moreland wrote:dragit wrote:No way Gold Coast will do that surely?Bunk_Moreland wrote:Bennell will be sacked so will be a DFA
Only extrapolating from the fact there is a news conference about Bennell this afternoon.
I think they will just say they are looking to trade him. Doubt they would give away a first rounder for nothing.

Boring.
That's just wrong. They both are dickheads. Race doesn't come into it.
Ill say it again for the flogs among you. Lovett and Bennell have nothing in common. They are completely different.
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.

Practice makes perfect I suppose.

Or we have another better plan that doesnt involve recruiting Harley Bennell - is that too hard to comprehend??plugger66 wrote: Only 4 clubs and we weren't one of them. Looks like we don't have confidence in our club chiefs. Disappointing really.

Why are GC keen to move him on?
Is he a team player?
Does he conform to the standards that we now require from our squad?
Will he fit in?
All questions that both you and I have not a single answer for
He has also missed a third of each of the last 3 seasons - injury prone??
Not disappointing at all considering 11 other clubs are not interested - good player but their will be others

It seems it doesn't matter what we want to do because we aren't a club that are interested if channel 7 got it right.

If they put the offer to us though and for some reason we didn't take it in a heartbeat I would seriously question the people running the club.
