Bruce Francis and TV legal dramas or the letter to the Minister for Sport

[Reality rules]

Forfeiture

Without a conviction or any charges pending?

 

[Sir Hugh Percy]

Gil certainly responded like it was an ambush, downright appalling performance from the chief of the AFL. Wouldn't see Hirdy or Sheeds wimp out like Gil did.

Are you referring to the same Hirdy "who has been gagged" and "can't wait to tell his side of the story"? Maybe McLachlan should have just gone that route instead of Hirdy's "I can't recall" plan B from the Middleton trial?

Bit hard to launch legal action in the middle if an interview

Or the conflicting oral and written statements tendered as evidence to the Federal Court.

Surely Vlad should have been a candidate, after his heinous conversation with Dave.

So in essence, you're saying no?

He could have threatened, but then again he's just a B Laws, not a lawyer.

 

[Bombfire]

No, the other guy said it was a heinous crime. I agree.

 

[Reality rules]

Maybe even hilarious for some. This is a spectator sport.

He could have threatened, but then again he's just a B Laws, not a lawyer.

And yourself?

 

[DapperJong]

Alien 4 maybe?

That already happened.

 

[Bombfire]

And yourself?

Eminently qualified.

 

[Reality rules]

Eminently qualified.

In what?

 

[Bombfire]

In what?

If you ask your tag teamers around here the answer would be quite obvious.

 

[chelseacarlton]

Hird is so 'brave' his was forced to say he took full responsibility.

 

[Reality rules]

If you ask your tag teamers around here the answer would be quite obvious.

I thought as much.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Does that mean he doesn't take contemptuous amounts of notes?

 

[Reality rules]

That already happened.

You must be Counsel Assisting!

 

[Bombfire]

It's a shame we weren't privy to Gil's contemptible, er, contemptuous, er contemporaneous notes.

Noted.

If only Essendon hired Tania earlier to keep notes

 

[damochandler]

16 pages of the interview word for word. What's the point

 

[Bombfire]

16 pages of the interview word for word. What's the point

He doesn't do much else, makes good reading though.

Shows up Gil as getting too cosy as the Chief, even unprepared for the odd grenade thrown his way.

 

[Bombfire]

If only Essendon hired Tania earlier to keep notes

I'm sure James whispered a few sweet somethings in her ear, early in the saga.

 

[Armchair Critic]

Do you remember Hirdy under oath. I didn't mean it your honour, big bad Dave made me say it, I couldn't stand up for myself your honour as my balls were in Tania's handbag at the time.
