I actually think Bennell will make Mayne look a whole extra grade better next season, plus he is out of contract so big year coming up.
Is Bennell going to be our kicking coach as well?
Mayne does everything well apart from his set shots on goal. He knows where to lead, he can take a mark, he runs all game, he applies pressure and can lay a great tackle.
But his set shot on goal is atrocious and let's him down even when there is no pressure. Bennell could deliver the ball lace out 30m in front of goal but it's on Mayne to finish.
Freo were in front when he went for each of these shots, each one about 30m out from goal so not exactly what you would call a pressure shot. IMO he needs to go back to Peel to regain his confidence in front of the big sticks. A decent forward coach that could help him wouldn't go astray either.
