Just what we need a recruit who won't start preseason until round 13 next year.

It’s a part of this gurus procedure mate

If at all.

Didn't realise Bennell's only 26, thought he was 28. Will be a phenomenal get if we can keep him on the park. Bloke is a born footballer.

Am I in the bizarro episode of Seinfeld with the Bennell talk. Guy hasn't played footy for 4 years besides 2 games, having more surgery as we speak, major off field issues, yet people are stoked we want him because of what he did 5 years ago talent wise at the Suns.

I think it’s pretty well understood that he’s grown up quite a bit over those 4 years. The off field stuff is gone.

The question is the calf. Only the medics can answer that one.

If he’s ok he has 5 years of footy in a relatively fresh body.

That’s worth the free hit given his talent.

What You might need to ask yourself is the club in the Bizzaro Episode Of Seinfeld because they are actually contemplating It. This Is A Real Possibility unlike The Daniher story line Imo. If it is a Menzel Type deal I am not worried either way. Having said that You are not seeing anything better from Menzel than we seen this year.

Get HB - free hit - nothing to lose

The off field stuff is still real. ****ing Victorians thinking they know all. Seriously Bruce, what are you reading?

Less than a year ago he was in court as a witness for the defence in a court case involving a couple of his bikie associates who were convicted for beating up someone in a night club while he was present. The judge described him as "unimpressive and unreliable witness".

Two jailed despite Bennell evidence

BIKIE associates Al Gerry Morais and Christopher Hallan Blackledge were convicted of a shocking midnight attack outside a Subiaco nightclub in 2016.

Earlier this year he was involved in another issue with bikies at a preseason match.

Harley Bennell investigated over incident with bikie at JLT match | Sporting News Australia

Fremantle's Harley Bennell has reportedly been caught up in investigation over an incident that occured at the Dockers pre-season clash with West Coast in Mandurah.

Sounds like his off-field issues aren't exactly ancient history.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

He may not be an upgrade but he may just be something different. He's got a tiny bit more explosiveness than any of the three current kingpins of the midfield and doesn't get himself under as much pressure. What's happening in our midfield since about 2017 hasn't been working. We need some pace and dynamism (is that a word?) in there, because we're very stale and one-paced and not very efficient. But suggest changing things up in there and you get laughed off this board.

As for Kenny, I personally don't mind him from the outside looking in. If the boys are happy for him to be there then I don't have a problem with it but to each their own.

I had a chat with Kenny at the SCG in the last round. Tells me he used to be a jockey & they called him “autumn leaves” because he fell off so regularly.

True legend.

 

[Superstar swan]

Dont underestimate the effect two absolute shamble clubs have had on his career

 

[Parky79]

All he does is take the place of a rookie who would most likely not make it. If we pull it off we get a gun for nothing.

 

[Edmund hunt]

If punts on the Money Daniher will request a trade.

Do you think he will do it now or wait until their flight has landed?

I agree there's no guarantee he'll be any good. A long time has passed since his days tearing it up for the Suns, and there is no guarantee he's a changed man, either. Which is why if we were to take him on as anything other than a delisted freebie, I would probably be against it (I was last year when this board was speculating trading him in.) But to be in a position to have a player of his potential, paying him the bare minimum, with the chance to get rid of him at no cost on his first indiscretion ... low-risk, high-reward opportunities like that don't come around too often.

5 minutes...

Will hear Daniher very soon

Not enough of that kind of stuff recently. I’ll happily stand corrected.

I do have this thing about footy though that it can be a vehicle for positive change in a bloke if he’s around the right group.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Tomlinson? Loves Sydney and cannot get a game.

Any word on what the contract will be or what the club is willing to give up for him? Please don't tell me our first pick and 7 years on $800k p.a.

He's played every game this season. He'd be great for us in defence though.
