At a certain point you have to back yourself in to turn a player around. Yes we failed with Lovett (through, and call me naive, somewhat unforeseeable circumstances) but we have succeeded too. Steven Baker is a good example of this at the Saints and I'm sure we have had more.
Fremantle´s window is still open for now so they´ve got to go for it. In a top side he might be unstoppable.
Maybe he hated the Gold coast in the end and was homesick. I just hope he can concentrate on footy as he´s an amazing player to
watch.

Michael Gardiner

In May 2005, Gardiner and then West Coast team mate Ben Cousins were criticised for involvement with a group of alleged Perth underworld figures. Cousins and Gardiner allegedly received phone calls from gangland figures both before and after a stabbing and shooting at the Metro City nightclub.[5] Police questioned Cousins and Gardiner about the incident but they refused to aid the inquiries.[6] The Eagles told the pair that they were on their "last warning" and that their off field behaviour would not be tolerated.[7]

Gardiner's off field lifestyle was often seen as detrimental to the West Coast playing group and, in February 2006, in the midst of the Ben Cousins booze bus incident, he was dropped to the Western Australian Football League side Claremont indefinitely on grounds of poor performance and poor off field behaviour.[8]

On 18 July 2006, Gardiner's playing contract was suspended indefinitely and he was fined $5,000[9] following his involvement in a traffic accident in the Perth suburb of Scarborough. While he escaped the accident with only minor injuries, West Coast Eagles chief executive Trevor Nisbett said that it was highly unlikely the club would renew his contract at the end of the year.[9]

Some people , when removed from the bad influences in their peer group, manage to turn their lives around.
Other's , like a certain young player the Hawks took a punt with, are clearly the bad influence.

I guess we'll see how it goes with Bennell.

Considering we were very willing last year to take Membrey in the PSD I have zero doubts Bains and Trout are very much considering doing the same for Carlisle.

Essendon can bleat on all they want but when push comes to shove we can and will do it. Essendon will accept our 2nd rounder and maybe a player if we are feeling generous.
