Seriously? There are loads of blokes on the gear, including a few at RFC.

You think Buddy had a clean slate at Hawthorn? Bloke kicked a lot of goals and that was the club's priority let's be honest.

Dinner with Dusty: Bennell turns Tiger for the night

RICHMOND has seemingly stepped up its efforts to recruit Gold Coast midfielder Harley Bennell to the club.

Two days after Bennell met with key Richmond personnel at Punt Road, it was Dustin Martin's turn to wine and dine the talented midfielder on his birthday at dinner on Friday night.

Bennell posted a photo to Instagram of himself and Martin enjoying a drink with the comment 'Great birthday dinner'.

The Tigers have expressed interest in the 23-year-old who was put up for trade by the Suns after a series of off-field incidents this year.

Martin was part of an entourage that met with Bennell at the club's headquarters on Wednesday that included coach Damien Hardwick, assistant Mark Williams, chief executive Brendon Gale, captain Trent Cotchin and ruckman Ivan Maric.

Tigers football boss Dan Richardson said Wednesday's 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."

Bennell keen to join tigers.

Playing group super confident. Club completely onboard. Salary? Tigers will honour GCS contract (about 500,000k next year)

B grader stuff is absolute rubbish. Like I said earlier today.

Still meeting with a few more clubs though. So he hasn't signed yet. But we've left a great 3 day impression, don't know if North/Carl/Frem do much in a standard 2 hour meeting that we haven't accomplished in three days.

There's more to it of course (harley needs to cross a few t's and dot a few i's along the way), but the club is willing to pay him ...

Lets hope so, could be the biggest pick up since Nathan Brown and a true "big fish".

"He hasn't signed yet"

One would hope that's the case, to do so would be in breach of the rules  ;D

Why bring that into the Bennell thread, just quietly it will never bloody happen, go post it in the FA thread. Then forget it. :thumbsdown

I have a feeling the millisecond that he decides on a club of preference it will go viral.

Oh yeah and then the wheeling an dealing begins, I just hope if he nominates us then we give up round 1 pick and its done. Then we give up round 2 for Yarran and spend the rest of the trade period trying to get a couple more.
