The well know news is that Harley Bennell spent Wednesday and Thursday at the Richmond Football Club, and enjoyed a nice 23rd birthday dinner with Richmond star Dustin Martin.
What is unknown are the details of whether Richmond has put forward an offer to secure the young star from Gold Coast.
It is understood that Richmond will offer Gold Coast their first pick in the 2015 draft (pick 12 currently) and maturing forward Ben Griffiths as part of the deal. It is believed Gold Coast are very interested in replacing departing forward Charlie Dixon with a mature forward. Gold Coast have already enquired about the forwards availability prior to Richmond's meetings with Harley Bennell.
Although there is no news out of the Gold Coast camp, it is believed they will send Richmond their 2nd or 3rd round pick in the 2015 draft along with Bennell.
Close sources to the Richmond Football Club have indicated the club are willing to part with $500,000 to secure Bennell, matching his current contract with the Gold Coast Suns.
