Bentick got slaughtered by Black. Black was the number 1 reason Brisbane killed us in the first quarter.

Like i said .. enough is enough.

Jeez that Judd guy is pretty useless too, what was he doing while Brown was kicking goals and Charman was directing ruck traffic, get rid of him. And while we're at it if that Fevola guy can't learn to kick straight then dump him too, I agree that enough is enough.....

I dont know why everyone gets up Bentick? He tries harder than others .... he tackles and gets the hard ball as good as any in our team.
Not given a fair enough chance i think... if he gets dropped this week ill be filthy... he is the scapegoat too many times because the match commitee are too scared to make tough decisions on blokes like Fisher and Stevens

Been saying it for years: If you have to play Bentick, play him anywhere but Docklands. His lack of pace gets shown up everytime. He's always tackling cos he aint fast enough to get the ball first.

Trying to pin the blame for the loss on a few players is ridiculous. Actually, trying to pin nearly any loss on players 19 - 22 in a team is barking up the wrong tree nine times out of ten.

We were killed because we didn't run. We didn't run to provide an option for the player with the ball. We didn't run to stay goal side of opponents as play broke from stoppages.

We had a lot more handballs than they did, but most of our handballs went sideways or backwards to a player standing still. They handballed forwards or sideways to a player on the run. While our decision making and skills were pretty deplorable, most of the time there was such a lack of decent options presenting that there wasn't a good choice available.

And why did we miss so many tackles during the game? Because we had players standing still trying to stop runners coming through at pace with the ball. Technique and body size help, but when they're running in waves at stationary defenders, there isn't much you can do.

The number of times there'd be 6 or 7 Carlton players standing around where the stoppage was, after Brisbane fired out one quick handpass and then broke towards the goal in the wave was unbelievable.

The fault in this loss lies with the team as a whole, they played dumb football and no one put in the effort required. The good news is we know they can do a lot better than that, but damn was it frustrating to watch.

You're kidding aren't you - you honestly think Bentick played on Black? There was no run with role for Black to begin with. Just because Bentick was playing 'Centre' and Black was playing 'Centre' doesn't make them direct opponents. This isn't the 70's, 80's nor 90's! It's 2008 and footy ain't what it used to be.

AB has done ok...leave him in - he and Hadley will take a little time to adjust to their roles. As for Wiggins...he's provided some g & d as a utility who comes off the bench and has an average game time of probably less than 60%...you probably want to bring in Armfield - but he's going to have to hit more targets on the training track...otherwise he'll get ripped apart on this forum.

Benticks stats look good but I thought he was fairly ordinary
What Bentick has achieved is fantastic because he is a limited player.
I am afraid he will probably be cut from the list
he is too slow and his kicking has little penetration.

17 of Bentick's disposals were on target. He put in 2 tackles per quarter which is more than most for the entire game. He provided 2 goal assists. He committed 1 clanger.

Yeah, he's shithouse - why do we bother? .

Let's keep the discussion rated G please.
