Coach Alastair Clarkson IV - HFC Racism Investigation Discussion

[franjon]

As opposed to Humphrey B Flaubert

Humphrey was the fun loving bear.

 

[koshari]

I think she is the central character in this whole sordid affair.

Not the first and wont be the last club to have WAGs that stir the pot.

Who will be the first HABS? Nathan Cleary didn't like the old Matilda's coach... Not sure in footy who the HABS are?

Husbands Against Brad Scott?

Reckon there’s been a few of those already.

What's all that about leopards and spots.

In fairness to Jeff, I'm not sure how a young woman slipped through the event's defences. Young Liberal events are surely exclusively designed for private school lads wearing golf/country club attire and too much hair product, who whisper a derogatory opinion about poor people as a password to the doorman

It’s pretty much a condition of entry

It is incredible how Jeff Kennett can get away with ruining the lives of coaches who sacrificed and devoted much of their energy to achieving ultimate success. This is the same individual that supposedly runs a mental health hotline.

It's ****ed. Totally ****ed.

...and as a side note (possibly a lesson for anyone really), if you have issues with the place you work at, you make sure to report things straightaway with witnesses. By waiting and waiting (in this case 10+ years), you are allowing the AFL and Hawthorn themselves to devise mechanisms to delay or question what happened.

It's a no-win situation unless there is a payout. You speak up there and then!

Hawthorn have settled their Federal Court case with Indigenous former players and their families, apologising for their experiences at the club, and reaching a financial settlement.

After two days of mediation this week, the players and club agreed to a carefully worded statement acknowledging the matter was resolved.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Clarko never got to have his say to clear his name.

 

[andana]

the matter was resolved.

Does that include Clarko?

Hawthorn racism scandal over as settlement reached​

After two days of mediation, a confidential resolution has been reached between Hawthorn and former players and their partners, MARK ROBINSON reports.


The Hawthorn racism scandal has ended after the club and the former players and their partners reached a settlement on Wednesday.
After two days of mediation, a confidential resolution was reached, which ended the two-year saga.

The Hawks are expected to make an announcement in the next 24 hours.

“It’s a good result for everyone – people just want to move on,” a source said.


Four-time Hawks premiership hero Cyril Rioli and his wife Shannyn Ah Sam-Rioli, former players Carl Peterson and Jermaine Miller-Lewis, his partner Montanah-Rae Lewis, and Hawthorn’s former Indigenous liaison officer Leon Egan had pursued legal action over alleged racism discrimination and negligence when they were involved with the club.

The current legal positions of former coaches Alastair Clarkson, Chris Fagan and Jason Burt, who were named in witness accounts, is not known.

An hour before the draft dump, nice.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Only about the dollars.

 

[ExorcismOfArdenStreet]

Seems convenient that the hawks got that million dollars from the afl for the combined afl / aflw ranking for the year and then a couple days later financially settle

I'm not sure the officials were seeking damages at this level. I thought this was about the players actions. I would think the officials will have to take their own action or just negotiate suitable compensation. If someone knows better please post. We are all a little curious about this]side of things.

Hawthorn's media manager is ex Dan Andrews office. He's a pro.

 

[Devington]

Confidential resolution to a public ongoing shitfest that has damaged, and nearly destroyed, reputations.

Awesome.

 

[Snowy off the Tram]

Hawthorn's media manager is ex Dan Andrews office. He's a pro.

A pro? That’s one way of looking at it. If he’s from Andrews’ office, lying little scumbag is probably closer to the mark…

The coaches' grievances with Hawthorn were never a part of the HRC process obviously. I don't think any legal action has ever commenced at any level between the coaches and club. Even if they had this in mind, I'm sure they would have needed to let the process with the players resolve first. And now, I can't see Clarko and Fagan wanting to drag it out. They would only do so in support of Burt who has arguably suffered greater damage to reputation and future earnings potential than either of them.

This is great news for us, no further distraction for Clarko

Andrews had the best media management team in the country

Agreed but leaves a bloody sour taste in my mouth

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Andrews had the best media management team in the country

You can say whatever you like about the way Andrews handled the pandemic but the way he fronted up to the media every single day for months on end, obviously backed by his media team, was unmatched anywhere in the world.
