I hate seeing Jordy Bannister in and out of the side. OK he's not playing great at the moment - but he should be in the backline...I reckon back pocket for mine...he's quick and he's got good defensive skills...and he has to better than Bentick. Give him 1 task...not 20 like Denis has been asking of him.
Memo to everyone. Bentick won't make it. His skills are terrible. He calls for the ball whilst running backwards like a boundary umpire and this has resulted in turnovers+goals 2 weeks running. He is just like Jimmy Plunkett - and I believe he will be a worthy aquisition to North Ballarat next year. I've seen him at training and his kicking is shocking. How on earth did he make it on to an AFL list without a weapon of any sort.
Bannister - good defensive skills?

He's actually very badly exposed defensively. He's ok offensively where he can take a mark...but he's badly outbodied by a decent forward in the back half.
Seems to have lost half a yard of pace.
Bentick - you kidding me, the guy can kick, and if you watch the replay, he was calling for the ball because he was running into space. Kicked a nice goal from 45 out too.
