As I said well before trade week, most of the deals were done leading up to this week so it was a formality to dot the I's and cross the T's.

This is where they are going wrong, crossing the I's and dotting the T's 
But overall a good post and I agree with what you are saying for once.   ;D

only to do a 360 degree turn around and say that they won't be getting a big fish.


Just as a matter of interest though, this is a 180 Deg turn.
A 360 would be them first saying they were, then weren't, to go back to were chasing one.

Changed... :thumbsup

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

Maybe we are doing a 360 on Treloar

Dan Richardson said we are still in talks with GWS, just in case things with Collingwood go pear shaped. Also said Treloar has said main reason for Pies is Buckley from the U16 academy days

From Twitter

@traderadio: Richardson on Bennell: We flew him from Perth, we don't think he or his management gave that process a great deal of respect #NABTradeRadio

Would have been great to pick him up, but if he's going to disrespect the club like that during preliminary talks, imagine how he'd treat us as a player. He was either playing possum for freo or is just a complete non professional.

Yep, club made the correct decision on Bennell. Interesting about Treloar, I still think he will get to the Pies, I will be disappointed if Aish gets there too though. The RFC should at least have a good crack at him.

Yep, glad we didn't take on a player who was a potential liability to start with and then have him for whatever reason disrespect the club's screening process. I may be wrong but I suspect Freo has just opened Pandora's box and it smells like Bear Grills undies after a month long stint in the Amazon.

Benell aside, this club has zero ruthlessness.

Comical.

What's funny is Bennell is not going to be the magic pill that Freo need to take them to the next level. They already have enough of his type. They have no tall forwards, so any team with a tall mobile defensive lineup will shut them down. With Pav on his last legs, they are a midget brigade in the forward line with Walters, Mayne, Ballantyne and now Bennell. All I can say is they had better get Sunshine from GWS if they are going to have any hope of delivering some scoreboard pressure in 2016.

Heard Bennells manager was a first class FW. Thanks Richo for confirming it. 

That will come back to bite him I bet

Waiting till the Yarran deal is done and then going to shaft those campaigners from Princess Park by stealing Tomlinson from under their noses  :clapping :clapping :clapping watch this space.

Tomlinson is perfect replacement for Chaplin
