Harley Bennell stores are click-bait, not much in this one but given his past and the fact he can't get on the park it is an easy sell. Not sure personally there was any racist connotations with this story, the story sort of speaks for itself.

I find it incongruous to say the least that, in a week where the AFL (rightly) made a big issue of the treatment of Indigenous players in the Showdown, they chose on their website to make a similar issue of Harley being asked to leave a flight - with the heading of "Drunk Docker". The story has been front and centre for days, which I doubt would have been the case with a non-Indigenous player.
He was dunk, and he's a Docker - it has nothing to do with the colour of his skin, and I hate that Ross ever went down that path.
Harley is a paid athlete in the highest sporting code in the competition and he continually falls short of the behavioural requirements.
the same wallys that went hard on bennell went hard on Johnno. I have this theory that Indigenous people are worse at hiding their issues because culturally they are more open and honest and less adept at hiding said issues. I can personally vouch for seeing two dockers taking pills at a party with me and my sister. These guys were never caught and have never been mentioned in the media. The eagles drug guys got years of free passes from the media, where are Bennells free passes? We used to joke about getting sleeping pills off of Kerr after a big night years before any of that came out as well. If you were dodgy in the East Freo area you knew about those guys years before the media mentioned them and I garentee the media knew when we did, but free passes man.
Footy Show tonight , apparently they have the real reason he was kicked off the plane, if anyone is interested in watching it
I take a Valium and glass of red every flight for my anxiety of flying. Surprised I ever got out of Perth now.“At some stage he’s also decided to mix a sleeping drug or sleeping drugs with that alcohol consumption,” Barrett said.
“That was the reason that airline staff felt compelled to remove him or ask him to be removed from that flight from Melbourne to the Gold Coast.”
S L E E P I N G P I L L S !!!!
I was going to post a similar thing. My special lady friend is scared shitless of flying and we had a heap of Valium before a long haul flight and nobody gave two shits. So was Harley being belligerent?I take a Valium and glass of red every flight for my anxiety of flying. Surprised I ever got out of Perth now.
I'm sure Barrett would've brought it up if he was.I was going to post a similar thing. My special lady friends is scared shitless of flying and we had a heap of Valium before a long haul flight and nobody gave two shits. So was Harley being belligerent?
The guy is a massive dickhead.I'm sure Barrett would've brought it up if he was.
First class footy journalism that...
Sorry, how?Once again the Fremantle Football Club has been caught trying to sweep an issue under the rug.
Camera footage or it never happenedOnce again the Fremantle Football Club has been caught trying to sweep an issue under the rug.

As long as it wasn't Stilnox.So let's assume this is true, who actually gives a s**t? Is this meant to make it a bigger story?
If anything it makes the whole thing even more of a non-issue for me.
At night-time, or to give him accomodation. They weren't told to ignore him during 'day-time' and their co-captain (Lynch) has even said publicly that he had a coffee with him.https://www.triplem.com.au/sport/af...ive-update-on-the-harley-bennell-flight-story
Bloody hell. Gold Coast players were all told to not spend any time with Bennell while he is in Queensland. If you believe Barrett.
Sounds like the wobbly thong to me...But was he causing any actual trouble?
