Harley Bennell [merged]

[one-eyed]

Bennell had a tour of Richmond’s Punt Road headquarters this week, but the Tigers are believed to be well behind Fremantle in the hunt for the 23-year-old.

Damian Barrett on MMM earlier said that Bennells preference is to go to Fremantle but his family and manager are still pushing for him to go to a Melbourne-based club. Richmond would be the front runner of the Melbourne-based clubs.

Rance on Ch 7 earlier said we would be a good club for Bennell. Mick Molloy then chipped in, showed the clip of Rance slip & sliding in the rooms, and said this is what Bennell has to look forward to at Richmond lol.

"Are believed to be" well behind? What does that mean? Have they got quotes form the player involved? If so, then print them. If not, then I think that journalist is speaking through his

Geez not holding out much hope of HB in tiger colours.

You keep going about NOT getting him, why is that? Trolling?

Some Richmond fans need to learn bit being a overly optimistic flog is not trolling

FFS bad mouthing people by claiming them flog really enhances you intelligence.

Imposing your negatative vibes on a group of supporters that live on hope is trolling so take a hike

Dockers want Bennell, but Tigers leading race

A photo of sacked Gold Coast midfielder Harley Bennell breaking bread with Richmond’s Dustin Martin will have Tiger supporters smiling wide.

It will likely take a first-round pick to get the talented youngster and it seems the Tigers are putting in the groundwork early.

“Fremantle has had a chat to him over the last couple of days, but then he went out and had a feed with Dustin Martin to celebrate his 23rd birthday,” said Ralph.

“It’s a bit of a funny one, because they want to say come along and play with your mate but it’s not exactly, ‘come and be like Dusty Martin’.

“The Dockers are keen but I think their eggs are in the McCarthy basket.”

Dockers lack of scoring power clearly shows they need a goal kicking tall more than they need a mid/small forward. Michael Walters was their leading goal kicker in 2015 with 38 and they haven't had anyone kick over 50 since Pav in 2012. So the rumour of them focusing on McCarthy makes perfect sense.

Mark Stevens on Ch 7 still reckons Bennell will end up at Freo.

A sms to SEN mentioned Bennell being seen out with Dusty, Jack Riewoldt and Brandon Ellis.

Stevens is a tool

I've heard that the deal will involve Lennon and Astbury (to the Lions).
Not sure if they both go for Bennell or whether we get draft picks as well

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.

yeah seriously.
loads of blokes? a few at RFC? you state this like a jackstar fact  , so you know this for for sure or just an assumption?

IF thye bloke is a coke head, that is someone that has trouble staying off the gear, and IF he was already on two strikes (remember this is not publisised) then the risk of a two year ban is quite high, so yeah seriously I wouldnt be giving up a top 20 pick IF this was the case.

As for franklin, well how is he travelling at the moment? Good example that 

You think every player in the AFL is clean? You think every player on the RFC list is clean? That's a more ridiculous assumption than my own.

And what's wrong with my Franklin example? I didn't say anything about him being a worthwhile investment - just that clubs like Hawthorn (any more) want the best football out of a player as a priority - the cliches about how a player's health 'comes first' is just there to appease the sheep. If a bloke kicks hundreds of goals or wins a Brownlow whilst snorting coke or doing something else stupid then a club would be more inclined to let it slide. If it's a fringe player they'll be hung out to dry. Look at Hodge's recent drink-driving incident as an example. Do you think they would let that fly with a C-grade player?

As for Franklin it's quite well known that he had a troubled personal life - hence the nickname 'Buddy' because somebody would always accompany him to his nights out as a 'buddy' to keep an eye on him.

assumption after assumption.

where did i say every player was clean? you know there are other options beside heaps of player and no players?
fair dinkim i never get over this george bush type of stupidity.

what wrong with the frankiln example? LMAO
as i asked how is that working out currently?

50 odd blokes on the list

you reckon they are all clean

LOL Bennell plays for GC not the Lions

perhaps he means a 3 way deal
