FOX Footy: Bennell’s mother blasts Dees fans

If I was a parent I would also be angry despite the comments.

Some comments were spot on regarding the gamble we took as I clearly remember a few fans on various forums questioning the clubs intentions despite having ‘nothing’ to lose.

In saying that, you can call him an idiot for breaching the covid protocols, but once he is/was hospitalized, and taking to mind his past issues with alcohol and mental health issues, I reckon any comments personally directed at him should have ceased. The bloke is hospitalized and I see no benefit in making any more comment about how much of a space he is and how ‘we won’t be losing much’.

You can always criticize people, even the dead, but it’s how you go about it and some of the comments just crossed the line imo.
