Dan Richardson just on Trade Radio
Spoke about Bennell - may change a few people's view on how our club handled it
For anyone who don't think we didn't go hard after him is kidding
Said:
* RFC flew Bennell over from Perth for the meetings
* His actions and those of his management showed disrespect to the Club's process, extremely disappointed
* wouldn't confirm or deny the missing the medical thing
* said the club wouldn't disrespect the kid and give out details as to why we passed on him as he is a Freo player
Once the summary is up on the AFL site we will post it
I'm hearing the verbal offer we made was what caused the lack of respect from the Bennell camp. Everyone knows the kid has been in some trouble but I think Dan the man outsmarted himself with this one. Now he is trying to save face by going on radio and giving nothing and implying it was all the Bennell camps fault.
Anyway it's done now but let's not all think the RFC doesn't make mistakes....
Hearing from whom? His own manager said he didn't have an offer before the medical so was he telling porkies then or is he telling porkies now or are you or your source making poo up? Keeping in mind the damage was done before the medical.
Hearing from 2 different people. 1 pretty close to the club. The other with connections to another club.
Believe what you like but I'm told a verbal offer was discussed BEFORE the missed medical and the late night, which might make some sense as to why the medical was missed.
From listening to Scott Lucas (player manager) on SEN "an offer" is a written offer, discussing figures isn't an offer.
so lets get this right.
your saying that a verbal offer was made, but according to scott luvas an offer is only in writing and anything verbal is not an offer?
and on top of that his own manager was a liar when he said there was no offer therefore they couldn't of been upset about the non existant offer. He actually tried to use this as an excuse why his turd player didn't bother turning up for the appointment rather than the fact he was out getting sissyaced all night. This is all bs it just suits your bs inferiority complex about our club. Bennell is a turd, pure and simple, why the stuff would any club get rid of a player with his skills unless he was a real first class turd? We saved some picks and half his luck at Freo, my bet is he will be turfed out or locked up in no time.
The wise OLD owl knows all.
He thinks lying doesn't excists in AFL footy and among managers at trade time.
It was reported the other day we had made an offer Carlisle but Dan the man denied it cold and the Essendon guy said we had, but today Dan said they had had talks with his manager. Maybe there wasn't a contract ready to sign the other day but an offer would have been spoken about.
And just on your opinion on Bennell, who really cares.
