Bennell met with senior coach Ross Lyon, CEO Steve Rosich and football manager Chris Bond on Tuesday to discuss his conduct at the WAFL game.

The 24-year-old interrupted the Thunder's three-quarter time huddle and pulled cousin Traye aside in a strange incident, which comes after he was asked to leave a flight to the Gold Coast when he was intoxicated while on leave following his latest calf injury.

Bennell has struggled to deal with his latest setback, and the Dockers have mapped out a plan for him to adress his personal issues and return to the field.

"We have an agreed action plan as how to best assist Harley with his personal wellbeing and his return to playing football," Bond said in a club statement.

"With respect to football, we have a rehabilitation and training program in place for Harley to return to playing, initially for Peel, in the next five to six weeks.

"Given Harley’s previous commitment to rehabilitation and training in accordance with his program, we are confident that he will give himself the best chance to get back to playing.

"The agreed off-field action plan includes Harley working with an external expert counsellor to assist in dealing with personal issues.

"We also imposed a $10,000 financial sanction on Harley, $5000 of which is suspended for 12 months."

Bennell is yet to debut for the Dockers since he was traded at the end of 2015 from Gold Coast, where the damaging midfielder played 81 games and booted 92 goals.  

Persistent calf issues have dogged him at Fremantle and Bennell's latest two-month setback was tough to take given he was closing in on a highly-anticipated return to football.
