Coach Alastair Clarkson IV - HFC Racism Investigation Discussion

[Devington]

The AFL is only able to impose sanctions for breaches of AFL Rules on persons subject to the AFL Rules and respects the right of the various parties to the Investigation (and those who decided not to participate) to pursue claims in other legal forums. Today’s outcomes do not interfere with those rights.

Bringing the game into dispute doesn't count, obviously.

a) No adverse findings have been made in the Independent Investigation against any of the individuals against whom allegations have been made (“Individual Respondents”).

No shit. The investigation didn't even get half way through.

b) The Complainants wish to resolve all differences with the AFL.

c) As a result of this agreement, the Complainants do not wish to pursue the Independent Panel Investigation (which they wholeheartedly supported), or make any claims against the AFL in any other process (including the AHRC) or Court in relation to their allegations.

$$$ to protect the AFL as an entity

Great work Gil. Pillock.

Gil really not happy with Hawthorn and the leakers of the report.

Jeff isnt president of Hawthorn anymore. Can't sanction someone not involved in the game any more.

 

[blackshadow]

Yep - that’s guaranteed - there will be no civil action.

Will there be grovelling apologies from Hawthorn and the ABC?

I’d imagine apologies would go some way towards restoring the damage already done.

 

[kool kangas]

Time for Clarko, Fagan and Burt to sue for defamation...

 

[tazaa]

Gil basically saying we couldnt do shit so were winding shit up lol.
No accountability. As usual.

 

[Kangayroo]

IT’S OVER

Banned for life from AFL games, Clubs, and functions.

 

[The Nostradamus]

gil mentioned no charges brought to any person accused

afl can bring a charge against hawks

 

[KickItAnywhere34]

If so, does Clarko come back to the club and coach when he never truly tested and cleared these allegations?
I just cant see it. There would have to be massive backtracking from the other side to show some public exoneration.

Yep as eggs11 said - there will be an agreement for no civil action. That will clear the way for him to continue coaching.

 

[Devington]

He's just reading the ****ing statement published on the website.

Bet he doesn't even take questions, coward.

I stand corrected.

Should be more but its a start. His reputation should be smashed

 

[Devington]

"we support ALL parties doing whatever the **** they want from here"

THE AFL IS NOT INVOLVED THE AFL IS FINE AND NOT RACIST MY LEGACY IS SECURED **** EVERYONE ELSE

 

[Rod Stroker]

"no financial component to this agreement"

interesting

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

He’s a genuine pissant.

 

[tazaa]

Yep as eggs11 said - there will be an agreement for no civil action. That will clear the way for him to continue coaching.

Gil just said there's been no compensation by the AFL. I just cant see a handshake agreement and everyone walks away.
Unless Hawthorn is the target and the families go after them? Which is a big backflip.

And Clarko, Fagan, they just go pursue the ABC only? Is this the agreement?

 

[giantroo]

 

[chubbspeterson]

It’s hard to have ‘findings’ when you don’t even complete a ******* investigation.

Absolute s**t campaigners.

And you take 8 months shuffling papers around like you're working on the Lepenski file. Shambolic process all around.

 

[Flawed Genius]

"we support ALL parties doing whatever the * they want from here"

THE AFL IS NOT INVOLVED THE AFL IS FINE AND NOT RACIST MY LEGACY IS SECURED * EVERYONE ELSE

Could have just said this and we could have gotten back to Gerard masturbating using a thesaurus

 

[Lomas]

Banned for life from AFL games, Clubs, and functions.

Even at his own ‘shed’?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

"The defendants aren't party to this"

 

[KickItAnywhere34]

Will there be grovelling apologies from Hawthorn and the ABC?

I’d imagine apologies would go some way towards restoring the damage already done.

I suspect those 2 things will be part of an overall settlement once the no legal agreement is agreed to.

 

[tazaa]

"The defendants aren't party to this"

This is telling. A nothing announcement. Other than Gil protecting his legacy and the AFL brand.

WTF

 

[justroyal]

Surely cyber security can find how it was leaked
