Will he be playing for the Ants senior or reserve team?

I'd like to see him come through the reserves, make him really improve his game, and get rewarded each time he does. From the Bullants reserves, soon into the Bullants seniors, and maybe later in the season into the Carlton team.

I don't know. I would be very surprised if it was for the reserves. If you had seen Clint play the practice match earlier in the year, you would realise what a special athlete he is. Far too good for the Bullants reserves.

He didn't play mate, this week he should get a game for than Ants. I would be there to give a report but unfortunately I will be in Sydney for work. I am hoping Bluegal or HBF will pick up the loose ball get and help me out.:thumbsu:

We had a bye in the VFL but he should line up this week with a bit luck. :thumbsu:

I'm looking forward to watching his debut. :)

The game is live to air on the ABC this week so you'll see the game replayed on ABC2 late next week if you have a set top box. :thumbsu:

Fair crack of the whip BG, I've been to every Ants game bar one (including practice matches) :p

And I have been to every Bullants match excluding the practice matches. Have I let you down in the past with a match report? NOOOOOOOO :p

Be good to see the youngsters. Not sure I can watch it this weekend, do you know when it's shown on ABC2?

Thought I would bump my buddy back to the first page. Any of you looking for extra incentive to get along to the Bullants game this Saturday, I have it on good authority (thanks to my good authority ;) ), that Clint's quad is right to go and he should be playing for the Ants this weekend. Well worth the admission price i would say :thumbsu:

He isn't named in the senior line-up so must be playing reserves.

Fish and Waitey might dispute that...

Totti, Fish has been fantastic for us this year. To judge both he and waite on previous years, where they have been riddled with injures, have not had solid pre-seasons is unfair to them.

Have you not been watching teh games? Fish is going to be a huge loss... like Bentick and Walker, his skills have dramatically improved :thumbsu:

Waite - i'm not sure it's his foot skills that are the biggest problems - i think it's a lack of confidence at the moment because he is being moved around so much and has had no chance of actually finding his feet, getting settled in a position, gaining confidence. Confidence is a big thing when speaking of foot skills.

Look at Carrazzo - he is a perfect example - shocking in the past, heavily criticised, and this year, one of our best players, often hitting Fev laces out :)

Re: 20. Clinton Benjamin

I think we will get a game this year but Denis will probably put him behind the ball. :cool:

But he might be a frustrating player and inconsistent until he puts it all together like Walker. ;)

Did Gilly streak and run onto the ground?

I started to then realised it might be a bit time consuming and futile from Sydney :rolleyes:
 
Re: 20. Clinton Benjamin

Was anyone at the reserves game? If so, it'd be interesting to know how C.B played? What position was he in, did he get many touches, how was his ball use? I Was surprised he wasn't in the best after kicking 4 goals.

Re: 20. Clinton Benjamin

Friend of mine went & said Benjamin only played 2 and a bit quarters (apparently they were scheduled). All of his goals came in the 3rd and were all running goals where he used his pace to gather the loose ball at half forward or wing and then sprint away to slot the ball through. Looked too good for VFL reserves according to my friend so hopefully we'll see him promoted to the Bullants seniors very soon.
