Def decimated last week, this week the mids. Expect Brown/McInerney/Rowell out. Hopefully Fyfe/Bennell in pre trading
Just posted on rookie discussion, I think McInerney might survive, as he's been playing half back/wing, there's a few others that are struggling, with 2 mids incoming I think Ronke and Hewett might make way.

On this morning's TV News they said Bennell is back this week. I'm hoping!
That would be interesting seeing they only finally said why he got dropped yesterday... not sure if its been mentioned anywhere and I don't have a source (heard it on SEN), but they came out and said that Bennell didn't get dropped for any reason other than the fact he got a game he shouldn't have played due to the fact other personnel weren't available.. once they were ready to play they took their spot in the team back. Basically they were saying he wasn't actually ready to play when they picked him in the first game, would will have have changed in a week?

Hopefully the FD have realised that we need players who can actually kick the ball with some sort of accuracy. If that’s the case then Bennell should be a lock.

The way team selection at Melbourne has gone in recent weeks though, who knows!

Just read this about Bennell on the AFL's Who's Pushing For Selection article... The 6 tackles is a great sign for him...

"Harley Bennell won 30-plus possessions and laid six tackles in the reserves scratch match and seems certain to be recalled."

If they don't recall him after last week's performance against Richmond, something else must be really wrong that we aren't being told :unsure:

Also kicked 4 goals if my mail is correct.
