Welcome Harley Bennell (To make long awaited Dockers Debut!)

[G Mus]

I just hope you blokes afford the same chances to Benny Cuz - another troubled man with the world at his feet, yet controlled by the demons drugs

Gave Yarran the flick and he is half the criminal Cousins is

Harley has another 892 chances til he passes Benny's total.

The sad thing is you are serious.

Ben Cousins was afforded more chances than anyone, ever. Your disgraceful club covered up his indiscretions and enabled his behaviour from when he was a teenager. Every little canary yellow and blue supporter that turned a blind eye to his drug taking in public toilets, chortled indulgently about the compromising videos being circulated, or applauded what he overcame has a share of that responsibility.

Harley Bennell's situation, and the club's handling of him is not comparable.

Virgin dogs

Must admit, this initially went straight over my head.

 

[hoss]

Even an upstanding bloke like me get pissed occasionally when I unexpectedly get a taste for it. Usually does me good.

Nothing to see here

Having thought about it a bit more, I agree in some respect Rip. Firstly, if it was you or I, we wouldn't have even been given a second look let alone told to leave the plane. Don't want to believe it but since I have seen it many times in reality, Harley was probably treated differently because of race, and again because he was travelling business class. As far as I can recall though, I thought club rules meant players not drinking in recovery. That's the thing he did wrong. The club seem to be backing him, which is probably good given the disappointment he would have faced last week with his latest setback. Minor, understandable even, but a bit silly.

Massive non issue.

Was he afforded time off from the club? Yes.

Did he get pissed before the flight? Yes.

Did he break the law? No.

Was anyone injured or affected by his behaviour? No.

If he was a normal citizen, would this even make news? No.

Thankfully, when Hawthorn get pumped by the pussies tomorrow, they'll take the headlines for the week.

I think the more concerning thing here is why was he going to the Gold Coast.

You know his girlfriend lives there right?

To be fair Pav never confronted anything this chronic and comparing Pav to anyone on anyfront Pav is going to win.Just ask Lauren!
4 or 5 of us flew down from Darwin years ago and on the flight the head hostie decided we were not to be served any more drink.The other couple of attendants clearly thought she was a grumpy moo who liked to throw her weight around.I spoke to her and said that the first thing I was going to do when we landed in Perth was to get a breathalyser test,which would show I was not intoxicated and I would come after her.
Our guzzling rights were reinstated post haste.
It's a very subjective thing.
Harley hasn't done anything really sensible or really offensive.

I had my piss cut off on a qantas flight from Singapore to Perth after 4. Not for any reason except they said 4 was the limit. Liars

Tell you what - I have a while to go Before I'm 65, but when I hit that magical retirement age

Government can't afford people to retire at 65, give it another 10 yrs and the retirement age will be 70

 

[mike91]

Very minor news, not the least bit concerned. Too many goodie goodies on here

The issue for the club would be gim drinking while recovering from injury. Isn't that a big nono?

Nailed all my fears. Damn you to hell.

Not sure. If he's been given this time as annual leave and can keep a certain fitness base, I don't see it being an issue. Without knowing what he's been told by the club, from a mental health perspective, maybe giving him permission to have a few frothies isn't all bad, especially if his diet has been in check and he's been off the piss prior to his recent calf tear.

At worst, it's unprofessional.

 

[Harry Reems]

Well at least he didn't break anyone's jaw at a nightclub which then resulted in a year in prison, or douse anyone's house in petrol before threatening to light it up, or even worse, getting caught smoking at at a duv -duv festival.

 

[Belnakor]

Who cares?! Who hasn't been pissed on a plane? I checked in so blind one time I fell asleep in the wrong waiting area n missed my flight.
The media is just jumping at the opportunity to take the shine off our win

i got absolutely s**t faced between connecting flights at the qantas club once. I could barely stand and they still let me on the flight. I hate to say it, but i think there may have been a factor of race involved in this one.

He was travelling business class, so I doubt it was a racial decision.

People here think too much about him , even he did not drink , he still need to rehab 8-10 week . is not like we can do anything about it . All talk no help .

 

[jedi mind tricks]

He got drunk this weekend and so did I

Who gives a *!

 

[Spirit Level]

Go eat a dick

That's a pretty ******* stupid response

 

[Allikat]

Btw it is actually against air laws to board an aircraft intoxicated (source - I get paid a lot of money to know and teach this kind of thing)

Obviously people do board planes drunk, but the tolerance depends on things like the airlines, crew that day, if they've had incidents recently, and what I suspect may be an issue for this - race.

Can we do anything about it ? If no , then just forget it .

Nope, because even if it was because of race, it's still against the law to board a plane drunk.

Who gives a ****!

TBH , nobody even bother you got drunk . I am so bore now that I reply to act like I do care but I am not.
