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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
