2019 Rookies

[RaisyDaisy]

Anyone expecting Burgess to line up Round 1 is gonna have a bad time.

He's not a lock by any means, but he's certainly a chance, just as much as most of the other cheap defender options available atm

Speaking of defensive rookies

I reckon we could be left with slim pickings come Rd1. I'm really struggling to see what def rookies are actually a chance of playing

Might be forced to go deep down back, or look at some risky mid pricers  :-\

Absolutely no point worrying about it now mate. Teams have injuries and unknown rookies have huge preseasons and jump into contention.

He's not a rookie, but priced liked one

This guy must be so sh!t when it comes to handling alcohol lmao



Troubled Fremantle midfielder Harley Bennell’s future hangs in the balance after another alcohol-fuelled indiscretion.

The West Australian has reported Bennell was asked to leave a Cottesloe hotel on Sunday for being too intoxicated.

Fremantle confirmed the incident, which occurred at the Ocean Beach Hotel just after 7pm.

“The club is aware that Harley Bennell was asked to leave a licensed venue in Cottesloe on Sunday and complied with the request to do so,” Dockers general manager of football Peter Bell told the West Australian.

Really believed that Bennell could be anything, what a helluva waste of talent. Reckon he's gone this time. Would still love to see him at his best but the gate may be  already shut,

Yep think Harley will be free to get on the piss every night now  :D

ffs,  putting aside never seeing Harley Bennell perform in SC it is very sad to view the self destruction of a bloke.  Life is hard and from my experience we make it harder on ourselves most of the time.   

Harley Bennell is not even a Ben Cousins he is a possibility of a Ben Cousins that never started.    Was reading today Ben Hayes discussing the issues with So Si Bon and what has been tried.    They feel they might have finally found a way to get to him to race consistently,  unfortunately it included gelding.  Pretty sure that will not be allowed with footy players.   

On the bright side, we can send Harley to Dave and Ben Hayes and he can play for Echuca?  :)

Ive been kicked out of pubs for being too "intoxicated" after only having 4 beers and feeling totally sober but just being guilty of having fun

Some bouncers are moronic power trippers...

The media I can read of the incident does not say he did anything wrong and if this sort of rubbish was around 20 years ago then many high profile players like Modra & Barnes would not have played much footy at all after the shennanigans I used to see them get up to

[Ringo]

For heavens sake Bennell was only asked to leave the hotel because he was intoxicated and he compled without arguing according to media reports.

Admittedly he has issues but surely this is not enough to warrant the current crucifixion. As bowyanger says how many players in previous years would have played if put under the same microscope.

Agree whole heartedly,  just another example of our PC culture.  Difference to being boozed and socializing.   Also it can be easier and harder when you are well known.       My impression was he was well sozzled and i apoligise to him if it was otherwise.   Would love to see Harley get a full year of football in to see what he can offer Freo.   Would be a great pickup for their midfield if he does.

I give him no benefit of the doubt, I know a lot of people from the Mandurah/Peel community and the powers that be down there turned a blind eye to the constant discretion's he made from childhood up to teenage years due to his "talent".  Absolute blight on society.

[quinny88]

In most cases I would say there's probably nothing in it but this guy is a repeat offender and gets no benefit of the doubt when he's on chance number 5000.

Rozee looks the goods but is pricey, McLennan is a plug & play & perhaps Collins to replace May. Rookies won't be cheap however so there will need to be some compromises. Birchall a must if he plays round 1.

Ben McKay should also line up Rd. 1. Won't be a high scorer but with Daw out he's in the box seat to play every game.
