Melbourne made the bold decision to acquire Harley Bennell even though he has had dramatic misfires at GC & Freo beforehand. There is no doubt he has some talent but his off-field dramas & poor attitude have held him back from really progressing in the AFL. It would also be fair to say that a number of clubs have been extremely wary of getting involved with him as the risks are quite high & disruptive based on previous form.
If you were in Melbourne's shoes at the negotiating table with his manager, what sort of contract structure & behavioural clauses would you have insisted on implementing to ensure a positive outcome for both parties ??
