The more I read here, the more I think so many have multiple accounts.
Posters quoting others with quotes that were not directed at them at all

I know it's hard to police, near impossible, which is a shame
I heartily endorse this post by the very fine poster wahawk.

@Stevo7AFL: Hearing bad news for Vic clubs re Bennell. In WA and keen to stay there next year .. Freo box seat
Don't be surprised if Stevo read that on bigfooty.

I saw a poster write that exact thing on the trading board, saying he spoke to Bennell at a WAFL match, and he asked him if he would like to stay in Perth, with Bennell replying he would.

Mark Stevens is such a flog! Obviously reads these boards, Bennell was at a game on the weekend in WA and apparently said he wants to stay there to someone..where did I get this info? BF main trade and rumors board. No substance to it at all and that flog of a journo run with the story. How awful that most footy journo resort to these tactics to make it out like they are 'in the know'!!!

Hawks are iffy but definitely in the hunt! But I said while back, we are very cautious and jittery about Bennell and his off field habits. Club will do the right thing imo .

Probably one of your best ever posts but you lost a bit of cred when you said Lewis is as brave and tough as it gets... He is not brave or tough, Will Langford is brave and tough not Jordan Lewis, it's just a shame Will doesn't have Jordan's skill set.

I find Lewis arrogant and self absorbed, he plods along on the field from contest to contest and forever giving clumsy free kicks away. He gets plenty of the footy but does nothing with it, he gets pushed around easily and is the first to look for free kicks. He may be injured, he may be struggling but now is the time to lead.
Happy to lose the cred on my opinion.
Yep Jordan has always run close to the edge with silly free kicks etc, but that is ingrained in him, he won't change that part of his game. But I have seen him willing to get his head kicked in to dive on a ball etc, which I think is brave.

Wasn't that Yarran's ol' man? Beating someone in jail?

And by the way, sorry mate, been flat out, will respond to your message soon. Apologies for appearing rude.
Nah no stress Grizz, life gets in the way.

Your right that was Yarrans father. Bennell father had/has the drug issues. Sad what a lot of these indigenous boys face growing up.

We should start posting crazy rumours all over here and back it up with fake plausible information and see if any media flogs pick it up. Would be a fun game.

Is it compulsory to have lots of different accounts?

I only have one.

Is it what all the cool kids are doing these days? Am i missing out?

What's the go? You write a paragraph, then get all of your alias accounts to like the post? Is that it? Sounds great.
It's the inflated self worth of the social media generation.

They need to feel important and liked.

Mark Stevens' comments are against the grain of every other reporter/journalist that I have read, spoken to or seen. All other reports stating Victoria will be the destination with Hawks leading the race and Richmond interested.

I have also read a number of reports that Hawthorn and Essendon have stated they are not interested. None of these people really know.

Let's be honest, no one has any idea. This thread is 250 pages of hope, speculation and wishful thinking. And the media are no better at it than we are.
People in the AFL industry are gossips. They talk out of school all the time. In saying that, so many people want to claim more than they know to big note themselves. Or get over enthusiastic about a tiny bit of info and tell everyone they know and then Chinese whispers. No way of knowing who has the good oil or who is confused, lying or other. Just embrace it and don't take it too seriously ;)

mature age recruit? 23 isn't THAT old if he's taken a while to come good. May be good for a later pick
First year in the VFL after solid years at Mt Eliza, played a few senior games and development games
Solid lead at the ball, can kick, fit enough to be at a AFL club.
Still needs to work on one-one work (not leading body to body) and can play in defense which his running and leap can cause forwards a problem
