I don't need you to tell me what to post.

Maybe you do. Quality of your posts might improve.

The upside for you guys is surely there was an allowance of $$ for Harley next year. If it ends up that he isn't around, you should have some pretty attractive dollars to throw around. Start the Hogan band wagon.

I’m confident (or perhaps just hoping) that once his calf’s right and he’s playing again he’ll be fine and these episodes will stop. It surely has to be frustrating being a professional athlete but unable to play.

I find it frustrating I can't play professional football because I am consistently crap. What is his excuse again ??

Pot kettle black. At least I don't bend the truth .

Please let's not pretend he got any punishment at all.

The judge ruled it a case of boys will be boys.

Bulldust

His career is shot anyway if he gets another calf injury

Cheagle just showed footage of him training at Peel today.
It appears his calf is fine. Seems Harley has just been a naughty boy.
Something mentioned about his 8 weeks not being firm but I couldn't quite make it out.
If he gets his act together they may call him back to Cockburn ?

Glad to hear his calf is ok but the eight weeks must be firm. We’ll look soft if we reneg any part of his punishment. It still allows him a couple weeks back in the seniors and/or a game with Peel before round 1.

You might be right, I was thinking it was like the AFL fines which the player has to pay (eg $1500 melee fee), my understanding is that these come out of post tax dollars and the player doesn't get a tax deduction.

The club pay those too.

We won't renege

He’ll have to cut back on his lifestyle now his income is down to a paltry $375K per year. With misdemeanours comes hardship...

Cheagle 24 hours ago: How dare Fremantle be so soft on Bennell.
Cheagle today: Gosh, how great are West Coast throwing convicted stalker Ben Cousins a lifeline? I'm sure Trevor Nisbett will do just as good a job ensuring a high standard of behaviour as he did when Benny was playing.

Hopefully he’s doing the extra work and brings the same attitude every session, not just the first day back for the media.

In fairness, has anyone witnessed Harley having a poor attitude at training ever? His problems aren't on the field. If he applied the same discipline he has at training to the rest of his life, he would turn things around very quickly.

He was out the night before the first training session back, which he didn’t turn up to. Sounds like a poor attitude to training to me.

I see Ryan “haemorrhoid” Daniels will be hanging off Bennells arse waiting for him to slip up.

No the other way, the 8 weeks is firm but if he does not show improvement in attitude and behaviour the 8 weeks could be extended out.

He's good once he get's there , But with a hangover he probably felt he could not give 100%

Looks proppy tbh..

Still drunk...

Arrived an hour early - good news, still a chance for this years Norm Smith

Wonder when Harley turns 29-30, and realise.. all those nights out as a 21-24 year old. Weren't really worth it. Because I sure am thinking that, some of those drunken night outs just wasn't worth it after all. Focus on the footy career buddy, because you lose it all

 

[Freomaniac]

well his jogging ok. No sign of bad calves

Probably be about as insightful as cousins or yarren.
