Toast Jamie Bennell

[Carbine Chaos]

Think he deserves his own thread. I think we all doubted that Jamie would ever get back playing footy, let alone performing to the level he is at the moment. He is rebounding, locking down smalls, he even beat Schulz in a few one-on-ones tonight. It's a massive credit to the lad that he's managed to produce what he has so far this year; to the point where he would be pretty high in the votes so far.

Keep up the great work Jamie.

 

[Smotie]

Yes a shining light along with Yeo and Darling.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Ready to drop him in round 3, been close to best on the past two weeks. Great improvement, he and Yeo offer a lot of burst off the halfback, really helps us out against loose men and flooding. Great job taking his chance this year

 

[Eaglemaniac]

I thought he looked good at times last year at Swans when coming back from his knee reco. Glad to see he's getting some confidence and taking the game on.

 

[Marlin01]

Excellent game tonight. Doing the 44 jumper justice.

 

[placebo]

Felt bad for the poor guy, was under some immense pressure tonight but handled it really well. One of our more composed players.

But man, do I feel bad for our defence. Our midfield does not make it easy for them in the slightest.

De-Melbourned.

Love your new sig thorne89

 

[eagles rule]

class act Bennell .

 

[Patron]

Yep if he continues his form will be a bloody awesome pickup. Only 23 so a lot of footy left in him.

 

[Bluey_McKenna]

Our best player tonight

 

[Avalor]

Our best player tonight

Yep, he was absolutely fantastic. Credit to him.

 

[Small Moves]

Chopped up that staging bastard Wingard. Played great tonight.

 

[WCFaithful]

Ive been very impressed with Bennell, a great get by West Coast. I haven't seen silk this nice since Wirra. Doing the 44 proud! Keep it up JB

 

[EagleCanival]

could you imagine if he continues this form throughout the entire year. He'd be a BnF contender.

 

[ChampRevesby]

I did knock him a bit, but holy shit I was wrong, kid is brilliant.
Fantastic footy smarts, is quick, can find the ball. He has it all!

 

[MWPP]

Brings happy tears to my eye because he reminds me of another former no. 44 Eagle Credit to him for making the most of his opportunities and deservedly being one of the first few picked this year on form

 

[Eaglemaniac]

doesnt butcher the ball enough or run around "trying hard" while getting run past by his opposition player..

 

[Smeg Head]

The biggest tick to this is he is doing it when we aren't dominating. Showiing the sort of heart and effort that he certainly couldn't have gotten at Melbourne.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Wasn't convinced preseason, but after last week and now following up this week.. Hats off to him.

 

[The Cheesecake]

With the absence of Hurn & Waters, Bennell & Yeo have both performed admirably, especially Bennell. Doing Wirra proud wearing the 44.

 

[Biggie]

Clean as a whistle. Completely shut a very good player down tonight in Wingard. Mopped up everything that came his way. He has surprised every supporter out there, this cannot be denied. Outstanding.

 

[RossFC]

Great pickup for you guys, so many rebounds out of defence. Got WCE out of jail a few times.

 

[joeyavalanche]

Will continue to call him Wirra

Well, not every supporter, but I understand what you are saying.
