Bentley Gone

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

Just another player to add to the long list of being able to cut it at VFL level, but just not really being able to make it at AFL level. Think the Hawthorn game really dented his confidence, and maybe never got his confidence back.

Could forge out a good career in the VFL. Who knows, he might stay with the Bullants.
 
You have to know where to look BD & it is definitely there ;)

Are you happy now :)

Greg Bentley**

**Rookie listed

I don't like to bag players, but I just don't believe Bentley had the tools to make him at least a decent AFL player who could do the job week in week out. Glad he's been moved on. But goodluck to him in future.

Im staggered that Wiggins has kept his spot. Has had long enough to show whether he has what it takes.

Only reason I can think that they retained him is as a back up forward option with FEV gone.

I think he's one of the luckiest footballers in the AFL to be honest. Would have never had had as long a career if he had been on any other clubs list.

I belive that is a bit harsh as I fail to see who a better lead up forward is, I know Yarran played that role a little bit in the WAFL and Kreuzer could play it but I fail to see who else has that lead up role in them.

With Wiggins on the list as a back-up forward, we will never be a premiership side. The only reason he is still on the list is that we have had some really plain players on the list who were worse than Wiggins.

If it was 1986 or 1994, he would of been the first one off. Let try and judge him by what he actually does on the field as a player and put aside personal feelings of how great of a clubman he is. And not just one or two really good games a year.
