Discussion 2022 General AFL Discussion

[Nutsngum]

Whether Thorburn having a leg to stand on in regards to unfair dismissal is one thing as its obvious that Essendon did not engage in a proper process when hiring him and its 100% their fault for ****ing up.

However he is also completely incompatible for a position such as that on account of being a dodgy ex banker and also part of a church with obvious and public bigoted ideals and calling him out on that is fair.

Is it possible to rename this thread from “2022 General AFL Discussion” to “2022 Secular vs Religious Dogmas”?

Just as an aside, Essendon had recruited him through Ernst and Young, so he made it through a fairly credible system.

Funny, I thought he was doing an independent review into the club and appointed himself.

There really is no complexity to what happened with Essendon though.

Post appointment they were made aware of his affiliation with a church that made hate speech statements in sermons. Statements that are completely at odds with Essendons stated policies and goals.

He was asked to stand down for business reasons. He hasn’t pursued any form of unfair dismissal because there is nothing to pursue.

If you want to argue about whether religion can continue to spout anti gay rhetoric because of religious freedoms sure THAT might have some complexity (my personal opinion of it aside) but the Essendon case isn’t complicated unless you really want to make it complicated.

Yeah, if it was a Muslim who represented a mufti that was pro sharia law or religious violence the backlash would be even more brutal.

It's pretty normal for people who's beliefs are going to clash with the organisation that they are looking at joining to make a decision not to step into those roles....unless they aim to get inside and change things to fit with their own.

It is a complex issue and there are a few moral rabbit holes but I don't think this has deserved as much discussion as it has got.

Sorry for being late but this is the best thread name in my 5 years associated with this cesspool. Well done to all involved.

A big four accounting firm is credible now? When have they ever been particularly credible?

I'm more shocked Ernst & Young run recruitment for Frank's Burger Joint up the road? Dard Ball Get you heard about this?

Might have , the more i look into Ernst and Young's role, the vaguer it seems.

Actually felt a bit sorry for North after the Clarko scandal.

Now?... not so much

I don't feel sorry for the administration of North Melbourne - they only hired a coach without a proper process in 2019, turned out catastrophically, so they did it again. Obviously not enough work done beforehand to see the issues that would come up with Clarkson (Noble sacked mid-year, Hawthorn indigenous review commenced in April).

I imagine it’s only while Roo and family have their long between season break in Texas. Would be good for them.

 

[The Punter]

America and their stupid uncompromised drafts.

Think how much cash a good American footballer can make. It would be really something if we got anywhere near the Riewoldt boys.

they're different games it's much more like rugby league

if they grow up playing footy maybe they'd be good punters

 

[phantom13]

If they have dads athleticism, hands and size they could be decent TEs (although they’d actually need to be a bit bigger than their dad was.

From accounts Roo was a handy cricketer so baseball might be on the cards as well.
