Could not believe what I was seeing when I saw Bell's name on the extended bench. WTF? I love the guy but to me it's a backward step....and I care not what his reserves form has been. He has proven time and again that he can't translate this form to the top level.

No Gould, again

But no Bell.

Would you have Bell as a definite delisting this year? If he can never make the seniors, he should be, I suppose.

Campbell is so far ahead of Bell it isn't funny. Must be the sub.

**bloodspirit** · 12th August 2022, 07:12 PM

Now that we have a Bella, maybe we no longer need Bell? Because surely Bella is Beller than Bell?

Bell has the tank to be competitive all game. I know he has failed to be really effective in the senior team with his opportunities so far.

However, Stephens took a while to get to where he is now (definite inclusion each week), though admittedly he had proven underlying talent to be taken as a top five pick.

I like Bell and want him to succeed, and it would be good for the team too of course if he was able to be a viable option every week for the bottom six/sub spot. With JPK out now, he could be thrown into the midfield (as sub) if there is an injury?
