Apparently it is the one he wanted to get into when he had the altercation with the bouncer.

Knocking a cigarette out of a bouncers hand in the Gold Coast ,in his free time, just shows his commitment to fitness. `

You guys are kidding yourselves in passing on Bennell because we are 'trying to build a strong culture'... How about we build a team first? We have missed out on players and top end talent who are con

I was all for getting Bennell but i think il give it a miss. The guy is obviously a trainwreck and is spiraling out of control in the exact manner as Dayle Garlett

I don't think Bennell has a meth addiction

An alternative explanation for his behaviour is that he's done a deal with a club, and they've said to him...

"Harley, stink it up a bit so we only have to give GC pick 43 and a box of kleenex! Cheers Mate! Look forward to your coming on board. ;) ;) ;)".

Similar to Darling getting to West Coast...

Guess the joke's on them after that pathetic dropped mark yesterday!

Morning after the GF or after Brownlow? He was out with Dusty after Brownlow.

They tried to get Dusty to look out for him but apparently he "disappeared."

Who was the one with rocks in their heads that decided Dustin Martin was the best candidate to take Harley under their wing?

Notwithstanding the "photo", I suspect alcohol is Bennell's poison and it's probably not an issue during the season.

I think his skill would offset any off season alcoholic problems. He's a guy that could help you win a flag.

We talk about aggressive trading. We need to go for natural footballers. He has x-factor, he has pace, goals everything. I'm sorry, but we're not in a position to say no to someone of his class. He's not a killer, he's not a rapist, he took some recy drugs and got on the grog.

I hope we're into him.

He won't be at Melbourne. Freo is a certainty.

Yeah we are...'Pennant' posted something about staying clear when this Bennell trade thing came up. He's pretty much on the money with this sort of call, I'm pretty sure he said a similar thing about Garlett.

I suspect you're right. Just a pity we don't look like taking a little bit of a risk here.

Unfortunately 'Adam' we're just not in the position to take this type of risk. We have to be smarter and Bennell would cost us a good pick and/or player.

What I don't get is how does Bennell cost any other club a pick if GC are dumping him? I understand that he is contracted until 2017 so why would you bother negotiating they either sack him and let him go to the draft or work with him as he plays out his contract.

If no one offers trade or otherwise then what would GC do? If he is dumped another club could offer a lifeline for nothing in the PSD.

Interesting conspiracy theory....possibly true.

We weren't in any position to say yes. When you try and build a culture you can't make rules for a team, and another set of rules for an individual.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
