I can't really remember any time recently a player has done this stuff, then been traded as apposed too just sacked or fired. What happens if Harley sais I want to be traded to Hawks or Melbourne no one else, and both those teams know gold coast aren't or won't keep him. I would think clubs will give up less knowing you want to unload him. He's also coming with this stuff hanging over his head. If you guys get market value for him skill wise it's an absolute steal
he's got absolutely no leverage as to what club he goes to. i think his worth might be a bit of a concern for us at the trade table, but time will tell.

I don't really think trading him is the best option but the club is pretty fed up with him. I also can't see us getting much for him now unless another club is VERY confident in their ability to turn him around. (Fingers crossed though) But the guy needs some serious help. He clearly has a problem with alcohol and either hasn't accepted it yet or he doesn't care. I really hope he gets the help and doesn't wind up wasting the opportunity he has in front of him.

Also, this period before trade week just went from unbearable to now almost not wanting to come on here with the crap other teams are going to be offering us.
"Kangaroos chairman James Brayshaw said prospective clubs would back in their cultures to have the strength to make sure Bennell stays in line." They all think they are the club that can turn these guys around so the deal will be a solid one

Part of me is excited we are going to be so active in trade week, and we are cleaning out some of the trouble. Short term pain for longer term gain. Might convince the likes of O'Meara and Prestia we are taking this seriously.
Bingo I think it has game changer written all over it now

We can just wheel out Tom Lynch to have a chat to them, and anyone else we wish to sign :p

Glad to see a leadership group presence there. Now lets see where the cards fall for Matera and Mckenzie. Matera seems to have picked himself up through the back half of the year.
