“We are really excited about what we have brought in. We have got great depth of players that can take us where we need to go. We are just putting some cream on the top at the moment,” he said.

Troubled Sun Bennell has secret meeting with Tigers officials, as well as Dusty

TROUBLED Gold Coast midfielder Harley Bennell met with key Richmond personnel at Punt Road on Wednesday as he searches for a new home in 2016.

Bennell was driven in via a rear entrance by development boss Mark Williams, flanked by the player Williams helped mentor, Dustin Martin.

The three spent two hours inside Tigers headquarters and met with coach Damien Hardwick and chief executive Brendon Gale.

Captain Trent Cotchin was also present, along with fellow leadership group member Ivan Maric

"It was a family meeting, I can't say too much," Maric told Channel Nine when departing.

Tigers football boss Dan Richardson said the meeting was about learning more of Bennell's intentions for his football future.

"We've got some interest in Harley, we'll see where it goes after the meeting today," he told Channel Nine.

"(The meeting is) just getting an insight into what his journey's been, where he's at and where he wants to go with his football.

"The key discussion is (about) the right environment to bring out his best is."

Williams took Martin under his wing when his career was at a flashpoint several years ago and Richardson said the former Port Adelaide coach would play a key role in any future Bennell had at the Tigers

"Chocco's part of the support and development program we have in place, there's a lot of other people involved in that. We'll see where that goes and see what's important to Harley," he said.

Richardson also acknowledged Bennell's outside run and ability to kick goals as a key factor in the club's pursuit.

I am proud of the club. They have tried their best to attract a troubled but rare talent. No one can blame them if they fail. They've had a red hot go. :clapping :clapping :clapping

We don't know they have had a red hot go until we know what's being offered for Bennel. Do date they have done due diligence.

Apparently it is very solid without being over the top. Exactly what it should be for someone on possibly 2 strikes.

Sounds like we will land Yarran and possibly Bennell. It will be like putting a turbocharger and supercharger on our engine. It will be scintillating to watch! :pray

Results matter.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
