Traded Harley Bennell [traded with #22 to Fremantle for #16 and #35]

I was assuming that Bennell was still open to other clubs. He may nominate a club of choice, but that doesn't necessarily mean that there is no other club that he would want to go to.

If Fremantle are not going to offer a first round pick, I can't see Gold Coast agreeing to whatever they have left. After all, this is a club that refused pick 19 and Hooker for Caddy while he was contracted.
Gold Coast can fire Bennell and pay him $1,200,000 if they have that room in their cap this season.

That is an alternative too.
 
Really wish the Cats would have a look at him. Sleepy Geelong might be the best spot for him in the league.

Something like pick 9 to GC for pick 19 or 22 and Bennell, then pick 20 to Carlton for Henderson, and Adelaide don't match for Danger would work.

Probably bring Stokes in as a mentor for Harley, and see what happens...

good luck controlling HB.i hope it works out but some of the first hand stories ive heard from the gold coast are not great.going back to perth and hanging around with his family and mates from mandurah may not be the best thing.a more extreme example i know but look what moving back home to be with his mates did for garlett.
 
I hope is more of a case of how far than how long for Bennell.
On tallent he is easily top 10.
Good luck to him....
On a side note there is a rumour he missed 2 meetings with Freo as well....

It seems that the following clubs have ruled out persueing Bennell but what would they know:

Fitzroy

How do you know Fitzroy have ruled out pursuing Bennell? We'd love him down at the Brunswick Street Oval for next season.
 
GCS will not take anything less than a first round pick. Happy to play him in the twos according to Rocket rather than trade him for under value, which seems a bit odd.
 
If he gets his head right, he will be a fantastic fit for Fremantle. That is a big if though.
