Reckon the club are still mentally scarred from all the work they (allegedly) had to put in to keep Dusty out of the papers, don't want to risk going through it all again with Harley
Would love us to take the risk but just can't see it happening

He just got dropped for a final off the back of a RS nomination. I saw him at training the day before the final and he looked as flat as a tack.

If he's being wooed elsewhere, I reckon he'd be listening to the pitch.
If he has any smarts he will have realised that the two reasons he didn't play were due to match ups and the fact that Newman was always going to get a send off game given he is a legend of this club. Sure it hurts but he has the remainder of his career to play in big games/finals and be well and truly a best 22 player.

He'd know that but you know..money talks.

Just ask Treloar.

It does but I can't see many victorian clubs offering overs in order to get him. Whilst it doesn't make a lot sense to leave Victoria where the majority of his friends, family and business opportunities (big reason for Treloar) are regardless of the money on offer. Would most likely result in him moving again once his contract finishes with say Brisbane.

That team still contains this year's teams biggest weakness - not enough strength in the guts

Our biggest weakness is we get raped anytime we come up against a good tap ruckman. Fixing this weakness may be a case of killing two birds with one stone.

Luey fixes that. Whilst Conca can be another ball winner in the stoppages.

Piss Off You Troll
I think i have trolled through just about every media outlet possible and yet to see where it says we are cold on Bennell !!!
He is exactly what we need and if there is rumours /news / rumblings that are worse than what appears who gives a flying F*** thats even better - He will be cheaper - The kid can bloody play and you have to give it a go with our leadership and Chocco and every other bloody thing we have going for us.

Whats the point of getting these bloody vanilla players that do sfa when it counts, Sick of all the nice nice boys that spew over summer but are too nice on the field to give a sh!te.

Ben F**** Lennon , Can piss off as far as im concerned, 2nd year player thats got no tank and doesnt want to work for his spot, Shown glimpses and now thinks he sh!t dont stink and trying to hold the club to ransom - Typical bloody carlton supporter
Lids should just tell him to gtfo and grow some 84ll5. Lennon - Aish thank you dont let the door hit your ass on the way out benny boy

We really need some Campaigners at the club, They are all just too bloody nice nice for my liking - Doesnt feel like Richmond

Hold the club to ransom? Where has he made demands? Imagine not wanting to sign a new contract when you weren't even getting a game.... I'd be likely to hold off until I had some game time. He is worth more now than he was 12 weeks ago.... that's quite shrewd managing of him....

Whilst Im on a Rant, Where are all the Bloody Campaigners that were having a go at me for wanting Mitch Robinson instead of Hunt last year !!


Thats Right you know who you are, Step foward - Do you still think that Robinson was ash!t player and wouldnt get a game for us ? How handy would he have been last sunday whilst Cotchin was getting molested by jacobs & Im sure he would have been pretty good on Harvey whild taking a swipe at jacobs
