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.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
