17 clubs also passed on Dayle Garlett.Richmond took Cousins at 31, after a year out of the game and stint in rehab.
17 clubs will be looking at Bennell pretty closely.
Now Bennell might not be as bad as Dayle was (we hope), but there's no way any club will give up a first rounder this year for him now. We've all known for a while now that Bennell was a loose unit, but having pictorial confirmation splashed all over the papers will follow him for the rest of his career. Big risk for any club to take.
GC will probably accept unders just to get this guy out of there. Toxic at a weak/inexperienced club, but a good strong club could turn him around.
