What happened to Footy Classified last night?

Waited up until midnight and it didn't come on. I need my "Carro's Arrow" fix!

It's on tonight I think, maybe - think I saw it somewhere like that in the guide. Also noticed my EPG saying it's also on Wednesday night late on GEM, I assume that's the repeat.

 

[Lost_Deputy]

Is it just me or does this make you cringe more than your wife's balding drunk grand-aunty hitting on you every Boxing Day?

I'd tap that

Footy Classified on tonight 9:40 Wst.

 

[FreoGirl]

And I could be wrong, but I think Freo was the only team not talked about. I'm fuming.

we wont be talked about until we lose a game

Hopefully it's a quiet year then

Not sure where to put this, but I just wanted to note Bennell being on the outer at GC again.

Admittedly he's been on the wrong end of some disciplinary issues, but he's an amazing talent when he's on and is a bloody good size for a mid. Would love to snare him if he walked out on the Suns. Anyone got the inside word on who he supported as a youngster? No doubt the Weags would have a crack at anything with leg speed in the next trade period, but it'd be good if he was automatically aligned to us.

I'd say having his brother at WC would mean if he came back to WA then he'd be more than likely to play for them.

It's on tonight mate. I'll give you a rundown on what will happen

- Hodge/Lewis hits, they'll spend a good 15 minutes on that, Hutchy will probably say something idiotic like 'they were flying the flag, good on them'
- They'll spend 15 minutes talking about Carlton and Malthouse, you know, like every show does every single week
- They'll talk about the development of the bulldogs
- Richmond failing thus far in 2015
- How well Collingwood are going
- Brisbane and how poor they're going
- Little bit about Essendon

He doesn't have a brother at West Coast.

 

[Clems Knee]

That's what I thought. They even pronounce their names differently. One is BENnell, the other benNELL..

 

[Agenfrida]

Are Jamie and Harley not related then?

Edit: Just had a look, cousins, not brothers.

My bad.

Souths have a Traye Bennell running around. Where does he fit in the Bennell clan? Is he Team Harley or Team Jamie?

If he's any good hopefully he's team Freo.

 

[freo84]

He is a good player that could be great if a certain coach brings out a consistent set of guidelines he has to adhere to and KPI's he needs to achieve.

I suspect with a name like Traye he's destined for the Weagles.

Hadn't realised this milestone:

You forgot about Matthew Lloyd declaring Luke Beverage as the best coach in the AFL.

They talked free for a couple of minutes... Lloyd mentioned that he was wrong in his assessment that they were on the decline. Lyon and Lloyd agreed there had been improvement and that along with crowley having dawson out of the team had made us more attacking and improved the team. Showed stats (limited) on improvement in scores from clearances (crowley effect according to them - bit simplistic in my view, i think its much more a fyfe-sandi effect) and scores from the rebound back half (dawson effect)

 

[Kram]

Lloyd probably has more teeth than brain cells.

It'd be like bringing over a younger, angrier, more self-entitled (and talented) Col

More Fyfe love.

But we would be getting him so much sooner than Col. There's a chance to alter behaviour with strict guidelines and guidance,

Hard to say. It's not like Cousins has ever come good. It's up to the person to decide to change, and might be too high risk to waste resources on if his attitude is that poor to begin with.

I'm not actually for getting Harley. However, Cousins is a bit different. WC indulged his behavior as long as he was performing. Heck, a lot of the team were indulged and from the outside it looks like nobody had a problem with the behavior and subsequent culture. Had a 20 year old 'Cuz' been in this team, he might have been reined in. Then again, he might have gone the way of Col too.

You don't know that his attitude is poor or that he is influenced by the culture of the club. Players make mistakes as these three have. The potential upside of Bennel would far outweigh the negatives in my opinion. I see a lot of Morabito in the way he moves.
