Coach Alastair Clarkson IV - HFC Racism Investigation Discussion

[Zondor]

Why would they leak it? Or do you mean 'didn't do enough to prevent a leak'?

 

[danj]

How do I get to the Hawks board? Never been there but it’s time to unload

Found it!

No doubt my post will be removed from their board but here it is for posterity

 

[DarkPhoenix]

RIP danj.

His days are numbered.

Look I hope you are right, but for me Hawthorn and Clarkson aren't mutually exclusive for the period of time being discussed.

They are mutually exclusive now - Clarko has been exonerated and given Fagans statement I highly doubt they’ll be challenged legally. The documents Fagan talks about reveal no issues of racism. It now comes back to a safe workplace and the commissioning and handling of the report……..and that is all on Hawthorn the club.

I don’t care I’ll say it - POTY. Well played sir.

 

[Jasemon]

It’s a shitty outcome for all parties. Everyone involved gets branded as liars and the AFL pretends everyone is happy.
The drawn out pressure brought upon the families and the ex coaches has been disgraceful.

THIS!!!

The hubris of “footy journalists” thinking they are qualified to report on legal issues leaves me gobsmacked. Get back in your box. You’re just guessing and you know it.

Fair to say it’s had a bit of a reaction over there

Old mate is just a shonky stenographer.

He burnt brightly

Yeah the Hawks board loves Danj who knew! It feels like Sheezels possession count in his first game maybe Danj should venture out more often?

It now comes back to a safe workplace and the commissioning and handling of the report……..and that is all on Hawthorn the club.

Not to overlook that significant parts of the claims revolve around the actions of the Hawthorn administration, such as their failure to support or even respond to Kylie following Zac's separation from her; and delays in facilitating Liam and his partner and newborn baby to cohabitate. These allegations do not directly implicate Clarko or Fagan but they do point to issues with the club. It also appears to be the case that Cyril Rioli and his wife Shannon had more issues with the club than with the coaches specifically.

It's hilarious how inappropriately he has applied "alleged" twice in that post.

Hawthorn racism scandal: Jeff Kennett hits back at Gill McLachlan

www.heraldsun.com.au

Former Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett has declared there is no basis for the Hawks to be punished by the AFL for undertaking its cultural review.

AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan dropped a potential bomb on the Hawks on Tuesday night when he declared they could be in the gun over their corporate governance “with respect to the commissioning and oversight of the Binmada Report”.

McLachlan said the Hawks’ failure to give Clarkson, Fagan and Burt a right of reply would form the basis of a potential charge.

“The process whereby allegations were aired without anybody having the ability to respond to them has provided an environment where there has been many parties – complainants and the defendants – put in a hugely vulnerable situation, and it’s had an impact across the industry for all First Nations people and others,” McLachlan said.

“I think that’s something that needs to be contemplated.”

But Kennett hit back.

“I am profoundly disappointed at the comments by the AFL CEO tonight that they are contemplating taking action against the Hawthorn Football Club,” he said.

“What Hawthorn did in trying to establish whether racial discrimination was widespread in the club was absolutely the correct thing to do.”

Kennett said the club was not responsible for the devastating leak of the report to the ABC in Grand Final week last year.


“That was the trigger that caused the firestorm and the attack on the reputations of the three who stood accused,” he said.

McLachlan said the decision whether to charge Hawthorn would be made by the AFL’s “general counsel (Stephen Meade) and or the Commission”.

Under rule 1.6 the Hawks could be charged with engaging in conduct that is “unbecoming or likely to prejudice the interests or reputation of the Australian Football League or to bring the game of football into disrepute”.


In 2013 the AFL kicked Essendon out of finals, fined the club $2 million and stripped the club of early draft picks in the next two drafts under that rule.

The loss of draft picks would be disastrous for Hawthorn’s rebuild under coach Sam Mitchell, with the club’s first pick currently No.3.

The Binmada review was commissioned by the Hawks board in April last year after favourite son Cyril Rioli and wife Shannyn made claims of racial incidents at the club.

“Gillon McLachlan can’t have his cake and eat it,” Kennett said.

“He can’t on the one hand say it was wrong to find out whether the allegations of the Riolis were widespread or not – and then on finding that there was no substance against any of the three Hawthorn officials – he can’t then say that the club has done anything but the right thing in the interests of a safe workplace.

​

“We did what any employer would do when something is brought to their attention. We tried to find out whether it was widespread or just isolated. We got the stories, a number of startling, disappointing responses – they have now been investigated and (it was) found that those stories had no substance.”
Kennett said he “trusted” that the current Hawthorn board would have “the courage to actually defend the actions it has taken” and will “argue the case very strongly”.

danj.

Godspeed you crazy son of a bitch.

Absolutely.

There have been suggestions that this buffoon holds a law degree. If so, it's the epitome of a paid-for degree, because he doesn't even know how to apply the basic legal term "alleged".

 

[Val Keating]

They’re already lining Jeff up.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

And the main board going back to the accused are racist again.

Given that the report was commissioned to direct attention away from him, that would be poetic.
