It's certainly no coincidence that Richmond booked his medical the morning after the Grand Final.

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

    Got kicked out of a club last night and kicked up a big scene. Apparently punched a door open and was pretty fired.

    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!

    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?

    Could have been Jake King and his mate Toby.

    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.

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

    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.

    This you know?

    Or fail a urine test.

    maybe they wanted to put him on the treadmill. that would have been funny after a night on the turps

    Who cares where Bennell goes.

    He's not coming to us. Good

    Is this another Col moment for Freo?

    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.

    Bennells career is done. Its finished. He needed to reside in Melbourne.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
