According to SEN just now:
Choco Williams gave a slide show at a Friday breakfast about where Richmond is heading and he had Yarran and Bennell apart of that next year. So at that stage, Bennell was still part of Richmond's plans.
Bennell was expected to attend a medical at 9am but they couldn't find him until 6pm that night. So, everything changed after that and we declared we were no longer interested.
All up, Bennell, via his manager, has just notified SEN that he's officially chosen Fremantle as his preferred club.
