Think you summed it up perfectly when you said the stuff that has been reported in the media. It's a joke. They would report Harley if he sneazed in public. If he has done anything wrong here he will be gone. Unless there is something that hasn't been reported there is nothing to answer at all.

Other side of the coin, wonder how many times incidnets have gone thru to the keeper, that we dont know about. Its called a track record. ya do dumb things ( regularly) and what you expect the media to do....aka one Ben Cousins

There would be plenty Unk I know of a few!

I wouldnt think there would be too many concerning Harley that go through to the keeper, but at the end of the day we are talking about an incident at The OBH where a group which included HB were asked to leave the premises and did without argument or incident. I wasn't there so I don't know of anything untoward that happened apart from that, I would strongly suggest from the comments being made, no one else does either.

West Coast in the middle of the last decade might have tolerated it but I can't see anyone else keeping him on let alone giving him another contract.

I would consider the incidents involving Liam Ryan at WC far more serious than this incident, infact more than any of Harleys incidents. He was asked to leave the venue and did. They are all on leave at the moment so it doesn't seem to be a big deal, silly yes. He is obviously on thin ice and could go either way I suppose but it is quite minor, no charges were bought forard. I'm more concerned about his ongoing injuries than his enjoyment of a beer or three.
* Incidently it wasn't Harley who was specifically asked to leave, it was the group he was with and they left.

Sorry JB, but your good self and anchor are just throwing in a red herring in hopes that we’ll start talking about Ryan and take the heat off Harley and Freo. i think this is a Lyon/Freo ploy for when the temperature starts to rise in your club. Having said that, if you want to start another thread about Ryan, I’ll be happy to respond.....and I promise to not throw in any red herrings and will stay on subject.

I don't throw in Red Herrings I only deal in facts as I understand them. We are talking about an incident at The OBH which I don't need to explain again, surfice to say nothing concrete has been tabled as yet where Harley has commited an offence or a disturbance, if he has he will be punished or sacked, I don't see anything to that effect at this time and for people to say I Know a few more that Harley has done, well tell us what they are and how you know thay are true, slander on social media is becoming a lucrative means of income for solicitors these days.

Well FACTS are he has had trouble with alcahol, on numerous occassions, and YES something was tabled Bell mentioned he had been asked to leave due to his sobriety, to me thats something "tabled Commensense would suggest when on yer Last chance , you would learn and stay off the booze, simples! Do you barrack for the dockers JB?? Oh and why on earth would BH want to slander someone, or maybe just maybe he has seen some incidents

Was Harley individually asked to leave or was it the group he was with that were asked to leave, was Harley actually drunk? I don't know, dont think you do either. Stay off the booze, FFS he is on holidays, not training. If he fronts up to training next week and doesn't measure up, then he should be punished and I didn't say BH wanted to slander Harley I merely asked for some verification of what he was implying because so far I have'nt seen anything that factually supports his innuendo. The area he was in was extensively covered by security video surveillance and any indiscretion would have been captured and shown to police.

Fremantle have confirmed Harley Bennell was asked to leave a Cottesloe hotel on Sunday.

Reports emerged last night that Bennell had been asked to leave the Ocean Beach Hotel just after 7pm on Sunday for being too intoxicated.

Seems black and white to me JB.
Sure its his off season, also SURE he has a problem with alcahol, and on last chance. ... Now if it were me, i would swear off the booze, given the amount of trouble it has got me in.
Definition of insanity??, doing the same thing and expecting a different result!!

Last time he got himself in the shit for something similar was for scuffling with bouncers in a night club in Freo and not fronting up for preseason the next day for which he was sent back to Peel for 8 weeks. How many chances should he get JB in your opinion before someone at the club shows some guts and flicks him?
