FREMANTLE coach Ross Lyon says the Dockers have exhausted all avenues in their bid to resolve Harley Bennell’s calf issues.
Lyon says the Dockers are almost certain to delist Bennell at the end of the season after the former Suns ace suffered another serious calf injury.

“Unfortunately with us and all the threads we haven’t been able to get it right.
“It’s unlikely he’ll be with us next year. I think Harley knows that. But we’ll rehab him.
“Hopefully someone out there has got a solution, or a club or a guru out there can get him right.
“Because he’s a pretty special talent. It’s devastating that he’s lost to the game to be honest.”
