Adam Bentick

[Blu3_Boy]

Gday fella's , just wondering how did Adam Bentick go? Will he keep his spot in the side, or will he be omitted for someone like Hartlet?

 

[BlueFan4]

Straight swap for Gibbs

 

[down_with_rangas]

mate unfortunately bentick didn't perform... only got 40 points in dream team, (which isnt good at all). he will no doubt get dropped, though i wish it was otherwise.

 

[Gozz]

I'd like to see Bentick stay but down_with_rangas is right, 40 DT is not enough for a middy, but did he get much game time?

 

[[ToTTi]]

No, there just isn't room for AB in the team anymore. Maybe for depth, but definitely not with our current midfield.

Judd - class of his own
Murphy, Stevens, Hadley, Kreuzer, Simpson, Gibbs, Carrazzo and Scotland...

I'd say he and Sir Richard play the same sort of role, and right now Hadley has been very, very good.

 

[blues4flag]

Oh come on, now we're judging games of DT points?

He didn't do enough and should be disappointed, given he had a golden opportunity with Gibbs out.

 

[Blu3_Boy]

Damn! Poor bloke. He's above the rest in VFL and deserves to be in the 1's! Was he at least better than Russel?

 

[walkers a legend]

Straight swap for Gibbs

Agreed

I can't believe you're basing his game on Dreamteam... poor form

See what is ____ing happening with this DT shit? Did I tell youse all? Did I?

 

[branedotorg]

he plays a similar game to hadley but looks shorter & slower. didn't look to be in the match most of the game but got a few handballs out to judd/scotland from in packs.

about a 'c'

 

[gbatman]

Yeah I think he'll be replaced by Gibbs although may deserve a few goes, just doesnt seem to cover the ground well enough at AFL level...

 

[Bentick's My Man.]

Not a great deal of game time but when he was on he did his job alright.

 

[Bomba Sheldon]

Did a couple of nice in and unders which is his bread and butter but will go out for Gibbs.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Sadly, I think our new found game plan - doesn't bode well for AB.

He looked out of sorts yesterday - but then again, it was his first AFL hit out in a while.

 

[legendtofski]

Betnick looked a bit lost and didn't seem to attack the ball with the intensity he did in spots last year..

Is he injured? If Bentick ups his intensity he can be quite a good player, and his delivery at times into the forward 50 is alot better than Carrots.

 

[mushda]

I really can't see a spot for him anymore, especially with Hadley doing well as an inside mid. Only had around 50% tog yesterday as well.

 

[Faz 2000]

Bentick is a good, honest go-er, and is well above average in tackling and clearance work.

He is, however, a very limited player. He doesn't have speed or skills to contribute much away from the pack, and there are many midfielders ahead of him now. Not fast enough to tag opposition stars.

He is a really solid depth player, but might also benefit from going to another team that NEEDS an inside midfielder, where he could contribute week-in, week-out.

So far we have had claims that pfieffer does more, although he had the same amount of possesions in 21% more game time, he was also only at a efficency rate of 64% compared to benticks of 100!

Hadley, although playing 30% more of the game only racked up 3 more disposals, 1 more clearence, and more clangers, and lets not forget that bentick was much more efficient!!

Yeh i did read that in the paper actually, had only 40% game time , thats just ridiculous.. N had 3 clearances 2 more than murphy, carrazzo and scotland.

 

[Kooley]

Quality kid who will continue to fight for a spot. No one can question his committment.

 

[The Coach]

Will probably go back for Gibbsy but his contested possesions, effectiveness and clearances compare very favourably for a man who only had 44% game time

 

[Mike_blues]

bentick player very well i thought today

 

[Jeremias]

He came in for Hadley and played well.

I'll be amazed if he is dropped for Hadley next week.
