I'm as happy to see him go as the next person, but he has a bloody good excuse for not winning due to our shitful S&C team IF Harley comes back from this op.Your assuming ross will still be here
Wish all the best for the guy. Sad to see him so struck down by injury, but hope that he can get back to his peak form. Hope he tears it up wherever he ends up.
Yeah it'll be a tough pill to swallow if he tears it up elsewhere that's for sure, but as longs he's out playing footy then I'm happy.I wish him all the best too but as a Freo supporter If he comes back with another team and tears it up I will seriously lose my sh**

One serious question is why didn't we try this procedure? Not once in 4 years? We rehabbed the same way each time bar same ballet and scooters? Got the same result each time? Even if it fails, why did we not leave every stone unturned in finding a solution for him?
Turned out to be more than one question, sorry.
If it is the procedure I think where the tendons connecting the calf muscles to his bones are removed and reattached at a slightly better spot.What surgery is this?
If he actually manages to play a meaningful ampuont of games at any level then we should just burn the club to the ground and start again.
I think this is just a bit of false hope though. Guess we'll find out when the Hawks trade rumours start popping up.
Lol, better chance of Freo going back to back in '19/20.what are the chances we redraft him in RD?
I would be a seriously pi**ed off supporter if he plays for another club next year and does well.
If he does then it would be time for the pitchforks to come out and the hordes to assemble at the club to demand complete rebuild of the clubs football department!
BY my reckoning we would have paid him over $1m for the 4 years for 2 games, so +$500k a game....maybe he might feels he owes us something.If HB's baby cows are fixed...
1. I'm seriously happy for the bloke. With skill/talent like that he deserves to be running around at the highest level and he's been through the ringer trying to get himself fit time after time, on top of now being a new father I hope it all works out.
2. If it's all systems go from here then the ENTIRE S&C department should be put on notice at the very least if not entirely cleaned out.
3. Pains me to say it but IF his baby cows are all good and he's cooking with gas by next year... He WILL NOT be at Freo next year. Why would the bloke even entertain coming back to a club that has all but ended his career? What a waste. I'm a staunch freo supporter and have been since the clubs inception but fair dinkum I'm just about at the end of my tether. Just another example of how we can't get our number 2's together.

I come in peace.
It appears the a Geelong based Surgeon has identified Bennells extra Gastrocnemius muscle and he's had it removed by another surgeon.
SO my question is this - injury aside and im not ploughing thru 131 pages - is he really a dumpster fire as the external press would have you believe or can he play and would he be an asset to a club.
I"m not intersted in the scuttlebutt and pre Freo stuff - just what you blokes saw and expereienced in his time there.
If we draft him, it will be late in the process. We have 36 and wont use that on him IMO - it will be split for a pick in the 50s and something in 2020.
Any thoughts appreicated - and if its the wrong spot - Mods feel free to move it.

Thought he could be picked up as a delisted free agent?I come in peace.

As what the other posters have said, I dont think the off field issues are the problem.I come in peace.
