Russell has a place in our 22 and is doing more than enough to hold it.

Stats are massively overated in footy.


Mate I was at the game, what did he do that so impressed you?

I beleive that Walker has shown what impact is all about. He achieved more in that game alone than Russell has done for the entire season (including the now famous last quarter against Port).

The bloke is a non-entity when he is out there. If running to the wrong position and kicking into the opposition is what the MC sees as progress then he is certainly delivering this in spades.

We have Bower, Hadley, Houlihan, Betts, Setanta, Bannister among others to come in very soon. Do you believe that JR deserves a spot in front of them?

For the sake of the thread though I believe that Blackers is gone. Too much quality in front of him and his lack of size and speed does not help. Please no comparisons with Diesel, there will always only be one of those!

As I've mentioned before, I purchased Blackers' match-worn jumper from the drawn game against the scum in 2006.

While I'll never sell it, an increase in value is always appreciated.

Play him. And let the value rise. 8)






It couldn't decrease, with a bad performance. Could it? :oops:

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

Whenever I have seen Blackwell he has always impressed me more than Bentick. Bentick has had many more chances and I would just like to see Blackers get a fair go.

Surely Luke Blackwell will get a game before the end of the year. He has been close to best on ground each week with the Bullies. 41 possessions on the weekend. If they are giving old guys a run like Saddington and Ackland surely the Kid deserves another chance.



He definately deserves a game if he is getting best on ground in the 2's ... the only problem is, that he is a midfielder and we have an abundance of them at the moment.

IMO Pfeiffer has more strings to his bow than Blackers Russell Bentick.
