His brother is going to be better. Watch out for him in 3 yearsSorry for popping in Suns supporters, but I second this - I've been going to football matches for 11 seasons now and this is probably the best individual performance I've seen live at a football match. 38 touches, four goals... absolutely dazzling. You should be congratulated for managing to keep him when he really wanted to go home last season. He's going to be a star.
"I found out I was going to the Gold Coast SUNS at the 2010 Draft Combine that was held in Canberra."
“I had a meeting with the Gold Coast SUNS with Scotty Clayton and Bluey and they basically told me that they were going to pick me up in one of the first three picks.
The Bennell package is a rare cocktail of genius and workmanship. Possesses blistering speed, ever-increasing endurance, superb ball-winning and ball-handling skills, astute decision-making skills and game sense, composure, high-quality disposal on both sides, uncanny goalsense, the ability to outrun and outplay taggers, good marking skills for his relatively light frame … etc., etc.
AFL legend Leigh Matthews believes opposition clubs may stop tagging Suns superstar Gary Ablett this season and focus on containing rising star Harley Bennell instead.
Matthews pointed to Ablett's freakish ability to rise above intense pressure from taggers to suggest clubs may let the Suns skipper roam free this season.
"Very few teams tag two players and if you are going to tag one player at the Gold Coast, it's going to be Gary Ablett," Matthews said.
"Unless they say we can't tag Gary and we might tag Harley instead.
