Drama in Fremantle as Harley Bennell's car gets impounded

"It would be good to see a club of any code take the high moral stand..." With your history on here Casper of defending Essendoon at all costs, that's pure gold.

Hard to know what you are saying here but you seem to think Bennell comes from the Lions. Don't follow footy much, Casper?

Yep, no culture problem at Freo from the view Sandilands gets when he's got his head in the sand. Given, they had nothing to do with Bennells previous issues (btw- mostly training or non-training issues at the lions) but following NRL down the slippery slope of 'innocent until proven guilty' let's player managers/lawyers drag out cases with adjournments until the season is over, then they quietly plead guilty. It got the South Sydney Rabbitohs a premiership in 2014. It would be good to see a club of any code take the high moral stand, but that only happens with dud players,.stars or potential stars get a fair number of chances. As they say about smoke & Fire, 2 similar charges is more a pattern than a coincidence.

Ah if only the Freo team played with as much fight as a couple of their nut-job supporters do in these comments they could look at getting a trophy locked away, instead of potentially a couple of players. Keep fighting the fight boys, your stupidly one-eyed rants and completely illogical arguments are hilarious.

Well it's better to burnout than to fade away. How's that purity cult down at Collingwood going for you?

AD - "Macca and Col won’t attack you if you stop attacking their club." I'll go further - we won't attack Mattybs if he keeps his criticisms of the blues bedded in reality and his arguments logical and consistent. 2 examples; don't criticise the blues for getting Marchbank when 6 months ago he thought it a great idea fro the blues to trade Gibbs for him. Don't criticise the blues for not going hard enough in the draft when more than 1/4 of their list has been brought in through the draft in the last 2 year (excluding the rookie draft).

Matty - But, I don't think that you're understanding that there's a cycle here. Their 'personal attacks' are always prompted by your strange rants regarding Carlton, and vice versa. There doesn't seem to be one without the other. I'm not saying "get of the site" or "moderators please ban Matty", I'm just saying that sometimes you've got to think about and understand the fact that sometimes your actions are allowing the cycle of conflict to continue. Can't you see why Col and Macca are getting defensive and very, very annoyed? They're not ganging up, they're both seeing the extreme aggression you portray against the club they support (and sometimes themselves) and human nature dictates that they're going to fight back. And that leads to comment chains like this. I don't like the Hawks, or North Melbourne, or Port Adelaide. But I don't spent a majority of my comments attacking the people, the strategies or other things related to those clubs. Are you and I allowed to voice our criticisms of clubs we don't support? Of course! But it turns a tad weird if it's constant rants against the club or the people associated with the club. Macca and Col won't attack you if you stop attacking their club. Is that clear enough? Literally don't know how else to explain it to you.

Mattybs - You always go on about the Carlton crew ganging up on you but you do realise that Dockers, Lions and Cats fans are just a the other team supporters I can think of off the top of my head who have taken umbrage at your posts - maybe it isn't everyone else it is just you?

Don Freo - "You misunderstand the word, “ascribe”." No I did not. Ascribe; regard something as being due to (a cause). I am suggesting that players with these character traits could cause the culture to be damaged when you have lost some many experienced players - the word was used correctly. Just as an aside what sort of energy efficiency do you get at home? I assume you used double glazing because it would be impossible to survive the WA summer otherwise but that must have cost you a packet.

The Saints should have hired the DonFreo School of Marketing. He would have dismissed dwarf burning, rape accusations, sharing girlfriends with Ricky Nixon and photos of the captain in the shower as wholesome family fun. Then he would have launched a tirade against anyone who dared question such acts.

Adelaide Dockers,you might need to experience how many years after years these blokes are constantly wrong before passing to much judgement. The abuse thrown at posters or authors that dont agree with there long lost born to rule mentality is atrocious. I'm not calling them names,I'm calling out their sad and tragic club. They begin every post with name calling,why not comment on that? You don't need to be apart of a gang Adelaide Dockers and thankfully if your only 18 you have never had to experience the arrogance and cheating of this sad,tragic and sorry excuse for an organisation. Hey,isn't it funny how the born to rule crew can't walk away and always need to have the last word but cry diddums if or when things escalate beyond their gang up approval :)

That's right Col,jump to Macca for your support in your typical gang up insults. And I've explained to you how you constantly insult 21 year old premiership hero Tom Boyd,you just don't get it because of your born to rule tragic mentality. You seem to have no problem with name calling or playing the man but have issues with playing the ball comments regarding Silvagni,the bloke actually overseeing this bizarre rebuild who supported Collins and has openly mouthed off in this regard,no one from this era should be anywhere near your once proud club. You always sook it up but you don't like the home truths about your sad and tragic club. But this article was about Fremantle,the club your crew constantly think are fair game and have attacked for years and have done so again today.. Have you yourself made a single comment regarding the article at hand or have you just called me names and attacked me unceremoniously? What are your feelings about a kid losing demerit points? What single comment have you made about the article at hand?

Oh my actual god. This has disintegrated into the most ridiculous comment chain I've seen in ages. Matty, what you're doing isn't only embarrassing, it's just plain pathetic. All it seems like you're doing is sprouting random allegation after random allegation, and it's just ridiculous. I'm sorry, but your anti-Carlton views which in turn lead to constant conflict with Carlton fans cannot be tolerated anymore. You're making yourself appear as an extraordinarily bitter person. Dude, your team won the AFL premiership this year. Celebrate that. There is literally no need to constantly attack the Blues. You mightn't like them, but I'm not sure anyone cares anymore. Constructively comment your thoughts on them, fine. But please, please refrain from spewing your constant negativity all over this website. And honestly don't give me, Macca or Col any crap about how they're constantly spewing insults against you. On this article at least, you started this. You literally - at just past one this afternoon - started with, and I quote, "Yes Macca,we do know what that means,you are more than likely going to be wrong again based on the simple fact your always wrong.". Is that not a personal insult, or do the rules you impose on others not apply to you? Jesus. To the others, I am sorry to go off on a rant like this. But seriously, the fact than I'm eighteen years old and I'm having to go to a site I love to step into a pointless argument like this shows a lot about how bad this was getting. My rant is over, everyone try to have a good night.

Mattybs- I didn't allude to anything I haven't specifically stated- unfortunately once again you don't have th war with all to comprehend. As for the rest it once again makes no sense.

Macca – I think you mean negative media about the dockers, haha. And yeah, I guess I’m always a bit defensive when it comes to Freo. Should’ve seen me at uni the entire season: constantly taking crap from my friends about Freo this and Freo that. Was a long, long season. Cheers for being understanding, some people would try and attack me if I misinterpreted what they’d said. Hm, yeah. Don’t worry, if it comes to a jail term (and fingers crossed it doesn’t) then I’d want such and such player to leave the club. Obviously. But hey, I try to be an optimist. Let’s let the courts sort the mess out before vilifying players and their clubs.

Macca, don't be so unkind to clowns. Can you believe this sad individual not only calls Steven Silvagni morally corrupt he now includes his father Serge. He has had a dig at young Jack so I wonder when Jo gets a mention. He gets upset at my alleged (not yet proven) insults of Tom Boyd but has no problem about calling The Silvagni's morally corrupt. He also refers to people involved in running the club "pitiful humans". I don't understand how the editors of this forum have allowed the standards of this website to deteriorate by letting this person spew his vitriol.

Macca,you alluded to more than just road laws with your comments regarding demerit points and your constant personal attacks are still a disgrace. I answered Cols question perfectly fine also,you blokes just didn't like the answer. Always up and about this time of year you are Macca but always wrong,year after year after year. You will again be proven wrong by trying to compare number one draft pick and premiership hero Tom Boyd to injury prone,failed and no longer wanted GWS rejects clogging the sad and tragic Carlton list. I think you should get off the Fremantle case and open your eyes to the changes that are needed down at Carlton,a club not only constantly losing money but going absolutely nowhere,year after year after year.

Yeah Mattybs how disgraceful o compare an ex GWS high draft pick who is yet to play a full season in the AFL with another ex GWS high draft pick who is yet to play a full season in the AFL, disgusting! Clown. As for you answers to Col being clear - they neither addressed the question he asked or made an ounce of sense anywhere outside the weird world you inhabit. And yes losing your licence for demerits isn't the equivalent of running some over and killing them - but you are the only person who is saying it is, I was just pointing out demerits are there for a reason and treating the road rules as lightly as you did cna lead to devastating consequences, but once again you lack the wit to comprehend.

No you haven't answered any of my questions but just gone on with one of your typical delusional rants making up things as you go. As for distasteful, well that's what I find you.

Col you have opened your sookfest with a personal insult as your first word lol but I digress. The constant insulting of the Dockers and their players was more a comment about the Carlton crew in general. You blokes have been doing this for years and as we can see have happily engaged in this born to rule tactic again today,whilst accusing their players of yet to be proven crimes with flimsy evidence and ridiculous quotations. In actual fact even over dramatising some of the accusations. The Tom Boyd insults you have been personally at the forefront of. You have continually compared Boyd to the rejects from GWS that the sad and tragic blues have recruited. You somehow claim Boyd as equal to these players even though he was a wanted player while the sorry bunch currently clogging Carltons list in an attempt to satisfy SOSs ego or sell hope to their delusional fans were not. You have expressed disappointment and frustration that Boyd is not referred to as a reject like the players recruited by the morally corrupt buffoon you so love in Silvagni. This might come as a bitter shock to your born to rule sensitivities or your misguided denial that the tragic Blues are a complete shamozzle of an organisation but their is no bigger insult than to compare a player to that of a Carton imposter especially one of the left over GWS hacks you Carlton folk hang your now crinkled hats on. I have actually explained this before but you just continue to diminish premiership player Boyds reputation as you see fit. I have also failed to mention,which I shall now,the appalling treatment dished out to 3 time premiership coach and AFL legend Michael Malthouse by the Carlton crew not only during his tenure but well after it,right up to this very day. You seem to be sensitive to the very thought of even the slightest criticism directed toward Silvagni or Gleeson and McKay for that matter but your happy to forgo these sensitivities if the person involved is not an old school Carlton boy. I hope that answered your question and could you please in the future refrain from these horrible comparisons you keep hurling at 21 year old premiership player Tom Boyd,I find them extremely distasteful as I have now explained a couple of times.
