Richmond are out. If we let him go to Freo that'll be a huge mistake. If there is one thing we need to learn from Hawthorn from yesterday its that you need to trade and trade big. Their side is stacked to the rafters with A grade recruits from lesser clubs. We are in a rare position to be able to sell to potential deserters that our Premiership window is open, do whatever it takes, Bennell is a match winner and its clear now our midfield is a match winner or 2 short.
If these rumours about us floating Sinclair and Lycett as trade bait are true then for gods sake don't give either of them to a premiership rival like Sydney, especially not for someone as insignificant as Jetta. Bundle them with one or both first round picks or another player and get the job done. Pay overs for him if you have to. Masten is tradeable, LeCras would attract extremely good value.. lots for Simmo to think about.
Hell, even for the sake of making sure Bennell doesn't end up at Hawthorn next year you just need to do whatever it takes.. I can see it happening. Unless we put our hand up they're probably the front runners and thats just disastrous for everyone.
If Hawks were in the picture yes we should make a play for Bennell just to keep him away from them.
Seems like he is going to Freo.
