Harley is not a part of Richmond. He screwed us around when we were interested. 
I couldn't care less if he goes well or doesn't. He is now a Freo player and that makes him an "enemy" of the RFC.

[Petey]

agree with the copy man.

I hear you *BUT, my concern is also regarding the process as well, we missed a lot of opportunity with trades end of last season, HB was one example of 4,

I am also interested to see how he goes RFC or not

Who cares

[bojangles17]

No news from WA re Harley, IMO we missed a massive opportunity and the risk could have been minimised with perfomance clauses.
Imagine Bennel and a fit motivated Yarran playing for RFC...WHOA

so next time a prospective recruit turns up to a interview wreeking of grog after a night on the turps , you say snap him up,,,,, , good strategy

[tdy]

Here's hoping he meets with a nagging hammy for the next 3 years.  Just enough to waste Freo's time.

If that was true fair call, mind you Freo took a punt on him i notice they did better than us last season

[Penelope]

Yeah, thats what some were saying whenwhen whorethorn drafted garlett.

would be stupid to suggest that the more successful clubs can afford to take more risky decisions.

this is ignoring that BJ is full of poo, bennell never even fronted

BJ is only half full of poo on this one, HB would've still stunk of grog.

[Diocletian]

Was out on the turps with Martin.....

[WA Tiger]

Good thing we didn't get him as well as Yarran....imagine the pain we would all be going through...

Docker shock: Harley Bennell re-injures troublesome calf

PRIZED Dockers recruit Harley Bennell looks likely to miss the opening weeks of the AFL season after re-injuring his troublesome calf in a WAFL match at the weekend.

Bennell was clearly Peel Thunder’s best in a losing effort against WAFL Premiers Subiaco, with four goals and 23 possessions.

Despite finishing the match, Bennell has apparently suffered a recurrence of the calf strain and is likely to be sidelined for several more weeks.

The high-profile recruit, who joined the Dockers from Gold Coast, had been managed through an eight-week program to build strength and durability in his troublesome calf in a bid to prevent any recurrence of the soft tissue injury which plagued him through summer training.
