WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL

Sam McClure is reporting on trade radio that Freo are looking to trade him if possible. Obviously has had some troubles but has insanely good talent and would come super cheap. Worth a look for the right price?

 

Sam probably read that on a fake Twitter account.  Much like what he reports.  He was caught out last week. 

 

Take no notice of that peanut 

 

Absolutely not.

It would be an absolute circus having him at the club. All he'd bring to the table is injuries, night club incidents etc....

 


No.

After further thought... absolutely no. 

 

 

I honestly believed he would become one of the best players in the comp. He looked every bit a star in the making. There wouldn’t be many takers now if any.

One of the biggest wastes of talent in the last decade.  Probably part of the great legacy that Karmichael Hunt left at the Suns.

Colin Sylvia would give him a good run for that title, maybe he was the decade before Bennell

I'd eat a Sylvia Bennell [censored] sandwich for pick 5 & 6 though. Party in Bali on minimum afl wage for 3 years.

Brilliant idea.  Sign up Bennell & Re rookie Sylvia. 


We have the culture to take on someone like this... but Bennell is too far gone for mine.  I don't think the best culture in the world could keep him under wraps.

No from me too.

Yeah he has had 7 seasons to get his body and professionalism right... no chance he makes it. Hopefully he goes to Carlton and makes them implode so they can dive deeper into illrelvance.

The number you have called is not connected. Please check before dialling again..

I'd take him. Sure he has been a fruit loop and has had his fair share of injuries but he'd come for free so what's there to lose. I think our club is strong enough to handle him if he goes awol. He was one of the best players in the comp at his best so he'd be in our top 5 players if he got healthy.

We’d have plenty to lose. You don’t want this guy and what he gets up to off the field anywhere near the club.

Absolutely NO. The positive is, Freo are clearing up cap space.

Not sure he would necessarily clear up cap space, having signed a new contract a month ago.

it would be a breach of the no richard cranium policy

It certainly would ....... May may be stretching that already.

mutual agreement, he'll ask for match payments for 2019 season ie: 22 x $4,000 per game and move on.

Too much baggage sadly because he’s a great talent and bargain basement price.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
