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

[FreoBraddles]

Hey guys, just out of curiosity how many games has he played in your reserves before the call up? As an outsider, I'd assume he's probably played 4-5 given his history before coming in but none of that noise has filtered this way.

Played four games with our WAFL allignment club Peel. Was named in their reserves in another to qualify him for finals

 

[Freoforever86]

Level headed me = hope he gets through the game unscathed, kicks a goal and has 10-15 touches.

Manic Freo supporter me = 30 disposals and 8 goals plz

 

[Coobk001]

Four games on restricted minutes.

Thanks guys, good to hear. Wishing him all the best. Hate seeing the best players on the sidelines. Mind you also hate Richmond, so I hope he tears em a new one.

I'm changing the avatar when he finally gets back on the field. Don't want to jinx it before then
Best news in months

 

[Eski3]

Morrabito all over again. But worse because he is even better.

Does anyone actually seriously think he'll get on the park? I know rl says 5 weeks..but he keeps breaking down. Id be bloody surprised if we ever see him in purple.

Sadly I feel he won't ever play another AFL game...hope I'm wrong

I've reached the acceptance stage with Bennell. Put him in the Morabito/Pitt/Simpson basket.

That's just from a cursory scan of this thread alone, let alone all the nuffies on facebook and the main board.

The criticism he has had to face and amount of people who have written him off ridiculous. Him simply playing this week is a massive credit to his character. Hope he kills it on Sunday and shoves it in everyone's face

 

[salim malik]

We don't do that.
I reckon he'll roll through from HF

Thats how it went for Peel last Sat. High half forward with the occasional run through the midfield.

Heading home to see the family for the first time in over 18 months. Just so happens to be HB's first game and our last at Domain. Don't mind if I do.

My comment about acceptance was to do with Harley's ability to stay on the park in the face of his body continually failing him and nothing to do with his character. I couldn't be happier he is finally going to get to strut his stuff in a Freo jumper.

Harley is silk and if he stays right he will be the best on our list. Sorry Nate but Harley is that good.

I'd be happy if Bennell can get to Walters level.

Not me. I want Harley to be at his optimum next season and slaughter the comp.

I wonder how long we'll have to wait for the KB apology?

 

[Deathly]

I'll be on limited hours of sleep from now until the game is over stressing at the idea of him potentially injuring himself again. Please, I don't care if you have a stellar debut or kick 0.7 just get through the game unscathed. Thanks.

I wasn't meaning to criticise anyone in particular or insinuate you were saying anything about his off field stuff, it was more of a general feel as to what people have been saying about whether he'll play again. We've all been frustrated with what's happened over the journey

 

[Quinz]

Harley Bennell is a jet and the comp will be better to watch with him in it.

 

[free at last]

I hope Harley gets the opportunity to kick the winning goal this Sunday....hehehe

 

[electricfeel]

ITS HAPPENING

It would be so poetic with all the s**t that Richmond fans have been saying about him if he cost them a top 4 spot

I've got some mates who are feral tiger fans and the amount negative rubbish they've said over the last 18 months is out of control...

I have a uni assignment due but I'm too busy watching Harley highlight vids

Is there any other type? Worst supporters at Subiaco I have ever seen and that includes wiggles supporters.

Collingwood supporters are church attending teetotallers in comparison.

You have to stop finding excuses...





Watch more Harley highlights
