Indeed. In fact given their public statement about trading him perhaps he can threaten restraint of trade if they then refused to trade and did not play him.Why would Gold Coast hang on to a guy who they've already sacked due to being a bad influence on their culture and players?
He's going to Fremantle.
Gold Coast are just speaking s**t because they want to drive up the price
I would think so. He is a long way from a sure thing.Surely our 2nd round pick should get the deal done.
Suns made a tactical error when they declared publicly that Bennell was out the door.Seems to be the Freo pov, Suns saying 2 first rounders. Every other camp not surprised when it meets in the middle with a first rounder, either this year's or next.
Have to say if there's any faith at all that Bennell will make a go of it at Freo it can't be far off fair value.

I think it will be more than just pick 16 but if the Suns hadn't committed to trading him they could have leveraged much more.Yep a no2 pick who has shown plenty on field, an offer of pick 16 should be a massive low ball but everything that's happened including the Suns declaring him a definite trade out means it's Freo playing nice.
Freo second round pick is 35 at best, maybe that will get it done imo it won't.

Surely a first rounder for someone who will be in Freo's top handful of players
When has that happened? Or do you think that paying some ridiculous price for a dud like Mitch Clark would have been a good idea? That's something the previous rubbish admin would have done.I'd laugh if Freo's try hard hardball tactics burnt them again.
Maybe he will end up at the demons on a massive contract.

okey meteBut you didn't know that at the time did you? Who's to say how Clark would of gone for Freo.
If he only kicked 30-40 goals you might well have a flag.
or he might have spent the best part of 2 years sitting on the sidelines chewing up $700,000 for nothingBut you didn't know that at the time did you? Who's to say how Clark would of gone for Freo.

It will be a first rounder. Pick 30 odd is just not going to be enough unless something else is added. Yes GC have shot themselves in the foot, but he is still contracted and with all the problems, he has shown that it has not affected his onfield performances.

Might end up the same way. The difference is Bennell genuinely wants to be at Freo. Clark just genuinely wanted to be out of Brisbane.Just like Bennell might better not recruit him either hey?
