Bentley isn't on the Rookie list, yet I don't see him as delisted rookie. Am I missing something.

You be the judge!

I just think he's been very harshly done by on here.
Sure, he's not a world beater by any stretch of the imagination but he is a solid footballer.
People judge him far too harshly on the few mistakes he made (eg. a fumble against Hawthorn) and tend to not raise mention of the solid things he did in the games he played - eg. put his body on the line, get in the right positions etc.
As I said, he's never going to be a great footballer but there's no reason why he can't be a contributor. He showed he has the ability to play senior football so I'd be disappointed to cut him after 1 season. Besides, as a rookie, I'm not sure what else he could have done. He was given the chance to play senior football as a rookie listed player and he was OK. He was a regular goalkicker in the VFL seniors kicking an average of a goal per game. He was named in the best in the VFL 3 times.
When he was dropped down to the VFL reserves for one game he was named 2nd BOG.
Supporters are easily made an impression upon by what a player does early in their career and it's almost impossible for a player to change that perception. Bentley became a whipping boy amongs Carlton supporters due to being nervous in his debut against Hawthorn and people from there on held a view that Bentley is shit. Which he isn't.
I know that this post is about 2 months late, but i can't agree with you J. In no ways is Bentley shit. He is a hard worker who plays a team role and does the 1%'ers for the team, which is a quality aspect of his game, and he would probably have been a solid participater in our team in the past. But these days, now that we have our strongest team since 2001, and our strongest midfield than probably 95, I don't think Carlton can afford players who just play the team role. His skills purely aren't good enough to play for the CFC. So i would've been all for delisting his or trading him to a team where he could be utilized, but i think in his position it is unfortunent that he has been kept on the list, as i'm not sure how much of an opportunity he has to break the side anymore. But saying that, best of luck to him. Hopefully he can prove me wrong!


The perils of a public forum, js. Chin up, we all step in poo at one time or another. I once thought Simon Verbeek was going to be a star. My mistake was telling someone else.![]()
