Career

Bennell is from Bunbury, Western Australia, where he attended Bunbury Senior High School. Originally playing for the Carey Park Football Club in the South West Football League (SWFL), he played colts for the Swan Districts Football Club before being selected by Melbourne in the third round at pick 35 in the 2008 National Draft.^[1] He had previously been playing with Swan Districts in the West Australian Football League. Bennell was named to make his debut for Melbourne in the opening round of the 2009 AFL season together with Neville Jetta, who also played for Swan Districts and played alongside Bennell since primary school in Bunbury, Western Australia^[2]

Bennell played predominately across half-back during his debut season for the Demons, usually manning opposition small forwards, and playing a total of 16 games. The following season saw Bennell move into attack as a small crumbing forward, earning both mark and goal of the year nominations against the Western Bulldogs in round 7. The following fortnight Bennell had a career best four-goal game against Port Adelaide Football Club, his form however began to taper off towards the end of the season as he was dropped for round 22. At the end of the 2012 season, Bennell was delisted. In the 2013 Rookie Draft, held in December 2012, he was re-drafted by West Coast with the 26th pick overall.^[3]
