Get him.
But you offer him a 12 month contract.
Basically put him on trial/probation with a handshake of better things in year two onwards if he sorts himself out.
He has a massive upside and if he's going to turn things around, Freo with it's proven Indigenous record would be the perfect fit for such a player.
If he doesn't sort out his problems with mentors in the Freo club such as Walters, Johnson, and examples of the other side, such as Simpson (and non-indigenous Silvia), and elite role models such as Fyfe, he's just not going to make it anywhere other than in the gang colours of blue and gold down the road and I'd hate to see him end up at the Slime without us giving him a go.
I usually advocate staying clear from problems and trouble, but Bennell just feels right to me ... and he should be cheap.
