Not great.

Catching up with some old friends? Could be another 2 year calf injury if he’s not careful

Players groping each other? Its normal AFL player behaviour .

I know if /when I get to see my mates again, the first thing I’ll do is stick a finger in their ■■■■.
Second thing is wash hands

Bennell is in hot water over the Covid breach. What a peanut. He looks like he has blown his last chance to have a worthwhile career in the game. It is doubtful that the Dees will forgive and forget this time.

Fox Sports reporting

Melbourne has been hit with a $50,000 fine and Harley Bennell has been suspended for four games after the latter’s COVID-19 protocol breach.

The AFL on Sunday confirmed Bennell will head home from Queensland “as soon as possible”, with the 27-year-old found to have left the club’s high performance centre and visit an unapproved premises.

Melbourne has also released a statement in response to the penalties, with club CEO Gary Pert labelling Bennell’s actions “selfish”.

They beat the Bombers, and they dare to dream , only to have “GropeGate” emerge, then Bennels idiotic infraction, then the Dogs win.
Hero to zero in just 30 hours.

Reckon most Melbourne fans would agree that they didn’t deserve to be there

Rest in peperoni melbourne

lol suspended eh? I bet the fine has been “suspended” too.

Anyone still bemoaning the fact that Essendon didn’t pick Bennell up?
It’s the one and only farking thing we got right this year…

Yep.
Played 5 more games than I thought he would.

Still a total twit.

Dumb, given that a couple of days later, it would be Mad Monday / Exit interviews and he could then move straight out of the bubble and hit the grog?

Melbourne did not deserve to be in the finals. They are brittle. In the end, with a dominant ruckman who was BOG, and tapping to advantage at will, we broke even on clearances. Melbournes midfield are supposed to be stars of the AFL firmament. Sorry, Essendon, a V6 firing on one cylinder were within 2 kicks of them close to the end.
