If I were Harley's management, I'd be paying more attention to the breach clauses of the contract. Length of contract doesn't mean much unless you see the term out.

Re: Harley Bennell.
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.

Re: Harley Bennell.
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?

Re: Harley Bennell.
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

Not at all confident. Had too many bumps in the road already I think.

Re: Harley Bennell.
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.

The push on this board to get Dayle Garlett was greater though G.

Dayle isn't still in the news or on a playing list but yes there was a fair old push to get him as well

Re: Harley Bennell.
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.

He has some very personal issues, and until he sorts them out, it will be difficult for him to get a game.

Yes, my memory at the time is that people thought a later pick was worth the risk but certainly not a pick in the first two rounds.

In hindsight, Hawthorn probably wish they didn't burn a 2nd round pick on him considering the current paucity of young talent on their list.
