Manager says a 3 year contract is what they are aiming for.
too many problems we don't need, not with a barge pole !
Richmond have shared that they believe he disrespected their club.
Asked on NAB AFL Trade Radio on Thursday if he was disappointed with how Bennell presented himself, Richardson said, "Yeah, we were.
"We flew him over from Perth to find out a little bit more about him and where he's at, and we don't feel he gave that process a great deal of respect.
"Nor did his management, and that's why we moved on."
It doesn't sound like he or his management were keen on going to Richmond.
It's sad to hear and read about Bennells recent struggles with injury and behaviour but I had a read of this thread that had very contrasting views on if Bennell was worth trading for. There was a significant push for him to be traded for but the concerns raised at the time still seem valid.
To me this discussion underlines that the process Dalrymple and J-Mac goes through to enure we get high quality types at our club is well worth it and if we miss a few talented but potentially troubled players along the way I can live with that.
How confident are people that he can come back and make a decent go of it?
Sounds like hasn't made the effort he should have made, ie off field.
It is looking like more and more he won be able to renew is AFL career
After the incident in the WAFL match I don't think he'll play again.
He's unprofessional. If he gave a *!*!*!*! about his career he'd have pulled his head in a long time ago.
I believe he is still in jail.
We took Fuller with 44 which is what people were willing to risk so we haven't exactly fared any better than we would have by taken Garlett.
