It's a shame.
There is a good chance this punishment will end him.
He will start hanging out with his friends and family and it will be game over for him. He will hit the grog and drugs harder than ever and in 2 months he will be lucky to be fit. That's if he doesn't end up in court in that time.
Hope I am wrong but we have seen it too many times with aboriginal players.
"Going out, having drinks, going nightclubbing - that's one's thing I have to take away for my life outside of football."
"There are a few things I have to fix up in my life off-field, which I'm capable of doing," he said.
I was a training watcher on Monday and he wasn't thereI was thinking the same thing, there's no definitive proof that he wagged training. i'm as pessimistic as the next but it's not inconceivable that the club told him not to come in for a multitude of reasons yesterday.
I look forward to hearing from the club on this one.
Harley Bennell has been hit with a significant fine and ordered to train away from the club for the next two months following his involvement in a disturbance at a licensed premises in Fremantle on Sunday night.
General manager of football operations Chris Bond said the club had fined Bennell $15,000 (with $5000 suspended), ordered the 25-year-old to train away from the club and also undertake ongoing counselling.
“Harley has not met our expected standards and also those of an elite AFL player,” Bond said.
“In this instance, he consumed an excessive amount of alcohol the day before a training session.
“In addition to a $15,000 fine, Harley will not train at the club for the next eight weeks and also continue ongoing counselling to assist him with making better decisions in off-field situations.
“Harley will train with Peel during that period and will also be required to undertake and complete a separate training program set by our strength and conditioning staff.
“Whilst we have set an eight-week time frame for when Harley can return to the club and train with his team mates, ultimately that will be determined by Harley’s future actions, how he responds to the measures we have put in place and whether he can consistently meet and display the standards expected by the club and the playing group.”
Getting sick of the Wet Toast fans giving me lip. Apart from cash what did he actually cost pick wise and who did we get for those picks and who did we miss out on?
Was it tucker and Darcy we got but missed Fiorrini and someone else?
Kevin Bartlett is a joke in the media though. We went down a few picks and still got Tucker. Worse trade, not even in the top 10.Kevin Bartlett called it the worst trade in AFL history last year. A bit OTT but it has turned out to be an absolute shocker and one our club should be both very, very disappointed with and embarrassed about.

Sure I have before I got a professional job. But as soon as I started a career with standards and expectations of no drinking x-hours before work, and turning up to work sober, including random drug & alcohol tests, I did what they expected because I'm an adult, and there's other people relying on me meeting those expectations.I'm amazed that almost nobody in this thread has been out 9 hours before they are meant to be at work. I have been out at 11.30 plenty of times and still been fully functioning the next day at 8.30am.
I could be wrong, but I don't think so. I would have thought he wouldn't be doing any training for at least six or so weeks even with a minor setback to the calves. Also, I think consuming alcohol while in rehab would have mentioned in the press statement if that had been the case. In the statement they said he was training with Peel. Again, I could be wrong but wouldn't it have been described as rehabbing from his latest setback to the calves if he had re-injured them. I read the statement more as saying he was still building towards being completely over the calf issues, rather than a re-injury. Hopefully, he learns from this. Last chance hotel definitely.So the statement confirms Harley re-injured his calf?
Jeffy Farmer was our TA on the Pluto project in Karratha was surreal at the start telling him to sweep the floors haha i remember him telling me he had to pay a plumber that did work at his house with a pair of signed boots from some milestone game coz he was broke.I remember some article with Sampi having a sook about having to take some job up north labouring in some dusty shithole.

Doing better than Bomber Thompson I guess.This saddens me.
Tendai may sack him now as his assistant coach with the NGA.
Probably be best for everyone, really.
"With respect to football, we have a rehabilitation and training program in place for Harley to return to playing, initially for Peel, in the next five to six weeks. Given Harley’s previous commitment to rehabilitation and training in accordance with his program, we are confident that he will give himself the best chance to get back to playing football," Bond said.
