If it confirmed dump him. Seriously has not learned lessons. There are definite leadership issues at this club

 

Just confirmed then that the AFL is investigating after the MFC reported it to them.

If he can get through another pre-season then he'll be like a new recruit across our half forward line next season.

I'd really think that this is the case - a talent like Harley, once rekindled - is going to come back harder and more resolute than ever. He could very positively assist in the complete transformation of our forward line; in fact, I'd strongly suggest that will be the case. Good china is wrapped well; let's hope that Harley and his recuperation are also well wrapped by the start of the next season.

Maybe that’s where the senior leaders went at 3/4 quarter time yesterday?

So if he’s left the hub (as he’s been told his season is done), and gone out drinking, which would be perfectly acceptable for end of season, how is this a problem?

You buy memberships, attend games, donate money. We have been terrible for 60 years yet we have guys like this carrying on. If it true there should be no second chances. Culture is a big issue at this club

The season not over why is he being let out

Because the whole point of a hub environment is you don't leave the hub then come back in.

His season is over and has been for a few weeks. 

Assuming it’s true, he clearly doesn’t have the professionalism required for AFL footy.

Both parties gave it a shot, we move on.

Even if he was re-signed for a year, I wouldn’t confidently have in our best 22 due to his injury issues.

He can not be this stupid surely Of all the players...

He has form p2j.

1 year contract extension mentioned on Fox. 


If he’s breached the hub rules should not be offered another contract ... ffs how many chances this guy want???

Delisted?

Otherwise it is not a smart choice.

Seems like it may end up being a parting of ways. From what posters have said, the coaches wanted him to find the extra 10% effort and trust his body but Harley just couldn’t do it.

Not sure he will come back from here and it’s an easy out for the club

Ralphy just said on Fox Footy that Melbourne pretty much have a 1 year contract for Bennell

Until the facts come through, hes a [censored] spanner.. 

Have players not learnt anything after the Richmond situation?‍♂️


Didnt he promise the club no drinking in one of the To Hell and Back Eps?  Its just monumentally stupid. How many chances do you want?

If the story is true and he’s breached the COVID rules then his career is over.

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    The Melbourne Football Club has selected a new coach for the 2026 season appointing Geelong Football Club assistant coach Steven King to the head role.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
