It sounds like Harley Bennell might be on the rookie list next season.

 

[Joao]

Also sounds like Bell is firmly in the same camp as Ross for all those hoping this might be a catalyst for a sacking.

Actually, Belly used an awful lot of Rossisms (never as good/bad, hard review) in that interview. Think he might have him under his spell...

He's in on the plan. Even talking up Crowden doing good work over the ball meanwhile his man Shuey ran off with it kicking it inside fifty.

Belly is also under my spell. Long live Lord Crowden!

Really bland interview, I think. I realise that there is not going to be a lot that can be said, but describing our problem with scoring as ‘connection with the forwards’ is just glossing over our complete inability to establish forward line structures.

I get where your coming from but I think the comment was balanced by saying our structure down forward is compromised at the moment due to new players and injuries to key ones.
However our 'system' up forward needs some new/fresh thinking. A good system should support different players assuming the same roles and it not falling apart completely.

would put money on it. Bennell still seems super engaged with the team.

We haven't had the same guys play in the fwd line for how many weeks? It has been a combination of Tabs/Hogan/Cox/Mccarthy/Lobb all year.

 

[G Mus]

Good to see we aren’t governed by emotions

 

[malpaso]

Lobb has rucked most of the year for starters. Hogan had the longest run. There hasn't been much continuity and when there was we were playing good football.

 

[Taylor]

How often did we kick long up the line to Lobb or Sandi? Not often.

 

[Freeeoo]

What's our win/loss with both Hogan and Tabs out of the team?

 

[wild side]

Thank God Bell is there though, so much better than bond. He has to take responsibility of turning around the culture

 

[Randomizor]

Lots like more of the same for next year then.

Yes, I felt the same, came away quite nonplussed.

 

[mightymouse75]

Bell has been rossed
So sad..

 

[G Mus]

How often did we kick long up the line to Lobb or Sandi? Not often.

They load a wing and we kick to Fyfe or Hill one out on the empty side a lot this year

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

What's our win/loss with both Hogan and Tabs out of the team?

With neither of them:
P2 W0 D0 L2 so 0%

With both of them:
P8 W3 D0 L5 so not great (37.5%) with both of them either...

That means with just one of them:
P5 W4 D0 L1 (80%)

Unless my maths is off and/or I've missed a game where both/neither/one of them played

 

[Dale147]

Ed’s kicking, who’s looking after that, it’s deplorable, he even fell over without kicking it on Saturday.

 

[Square Peg]

It sounds like Harley Bennell might be on the rookie list next season.

FCS really? Unreal. It's like watching the Black Knight from a Monty Python movie

 

[freo_leo29]

It really sounded like Harley is done at Fremantle, Bell was basically saying that he is thanking Bennell for his time here, any future in the AFL will be at another club.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Ok I am a big Harley fan and really do feel for him but surely we aren’t rookie listing him? That would just be #foldtheclub levels of insanity.

 

[Taylor]

Harley Bennell is contracted for another 114 days. 16 weeks.
