The same position he played at EP in the back half no difference other than he is just in different although more lovably familiar colours now!

Bennell played some excellent football at EP except for a poor patch last year when I suspect he was told he would not be contracted again.

Bennell was up so high he needed a pilot's licence.

Mark of the year, won't see any bigger this year. In fact I haven't seen much bigger ever from my vantage point, an absolute classic

I was seated next to P Hodyl at the time...after I returned my jaw from the floor looked over and he had this grin, a grin of a footballer that understands a moment like that, a moment worth a whole career....I for one will never forget the day Bennell launched himself in to orbit...it was a stupendous mark, a mark and ride for the absolute ages....I doubt Schofield will ever recover, that horse got broken yesterday

There could be no better feeling than taking Mark Of The Year on an Eagle Full Back's shoulders and then going back and banging it through from 50m to put your side up and on the path to victory...spoken of course from an old Full Forward's viewpoint!

Liam Ryan accepts your challenge.

Good stuff Bennell, the WAFL needs more of this to get people through the gates.

Yes that was a special moment and it certainly inspired the team to go on and win the game.

After the rubbish dished up by Freo today lets hope a few Freo fans see the light, if they want value for $ get along to see the likes of Notte, Ryan, Bennell and Saunders etc get higher than Joe Cocker!

poor old Joe's pretty low at the moment SD....6 feet under low....
