Let's hope benny gets another chance in the AFL even if it is with the Lions......

Wouldn't it be funny if we picked him up with pick 52?
Personally i wouldn't mind if we did.

[Bleed Red Blood]

I think we should. We've given him five years..With only 'scraps' left..Let's pick him up. Wouldn't be the same without him on our injury list.

[Xie Shan]

I'd love to give him another go, but it also depends how much Brisbane want him (and it sounds like they do, from that article). Would they use a pick before #52 to draft him?

[Plugger46]

He's good enough, there is a time when you have to let these blokes go though. In saying that though, I suppose he would be worth one more go.

[Charlie]

I don't think we should. Realistically, if he gets picked up for 2006, it's his absolute last chance. There are about 15 midfielders/small forwards ahead of him for a spot, so he's unlikely to get a game, and he deserves a clear run at rebuilding his career.

Hmmm, a few loaded comments in there :

"?He also was pushing the fact that the Lions medical staff were very good."

Fixter, who has mainly battled hamstring problems over the last three years, credits highly regarded physio Victor Popov for getting him on the right track and producing some promising results.

"Just the change of environment is helping and the Lions do have different training methods," said Fixter.

"It's been a real battle with injuries the last few years, but if anyone was going to get me going it was the physios up here.""

Not the first one to make comments about the Swans medicos.

[Charlie]

True, Flop... but at the same time, any medical team that can have 19 players plating 19 or more games is doing its job.

Brissie didn't pick Ben up I believe - looks like his AFL career is shot as there doesnt seem to be many planning to take part in the PSD either.

[Charlie]

Congratulations Benny - picked up by Brisbane in the PSD.

[Sanecow]

He will probably get more game time at Brisbane!

[ugg]

Yeah but Brisbane are a rabble

[giant]

Good news for him - considering some of the talent that missed out he's done very well. I don't expect the Lions to be a rabble for long.

[NMWBloods]

Of course they won't. Without another year of crippling injuries/suspensions they will be a major force in 2006.

[Jeffers1984]

Unfortunately for Benny, he got delisted today by the lions.

Played a few games at the start of the year and kicked a goal against us at the SCG game.

Best of luck in the future Benny.
