They are still 'warring parties' as you quoted. If they don't admit guilt and apologise it will go to the federal court.
The coaches categorically deny the accusations... so the mediation process probably won't go anywhere if we're to believe the "fighting words" from Cyril. It doesn't sound like there's room for any mediation or conciliation.

But the thing is, apart from the media and Big Footy ghouls, I don't think anyone really wants this to go to court and have their dirty linen aired. My guess is the players will probably accept a settlement from Hawthorn.

They haven't categorically denied the accusations. They have said it didn't happen in the manner described
 
Cyril Rioli a good shout for the most privileged person to ever exist

Born into a family name that is royalty in Australia, treated as a God in his younger years. Goes to one of the most expensive and exclusive private schools of all time on full scholarship without ever paying a cent, is treated like a God his whole time there as best player on the football team

Wins a premiership his first year in the AFL while having heavyweights like Bruce McVaney become his personal fan club. Quickly becomes the highest paid player at the Hawks. Wins another 3 premierships then retires with a mega 7 figure payout for "racism"

Geez we'd all like to die right now and be reincarnated as Cyril
**** off

Rioli seems to be appearing in this mediation as the villain for some. Astounding
Most decent Hawthorn supporters just want to make this right. I’m a bit of an optimist generally and I think that this could end in a better place. Cyril has been one of the best things in my life since 2008. Farkn love him
 
If I am right, Cyril was not part of the Phil Egan reprt. What exactly is the issue he has with Clarkson and Fagan?
 

A second extension in conciliation talks has been agreed to in the Hawthorn racism scandal as the stalemate threatens to lead to a Federal Court hearing.​
It’s believed the issue continues to be Hawthorn’s willingness to accept a bevy of requests asked by the Indigenous families, which includes an apology and an acknowledgment that they suffered pain, hurt and stress when they were at Hawthorn.​
A source said the wording in a response to claims of historic racist behaviour was also an agenda item for the lawyers of former Hawks staffers Alastair Clarkson, Chris Fagan and Jason Burt.​
The source said some of the Indigenous players and their partners have been told that the “methodology’’ of how they were treated was not always appropriate.​
“That word, methodology, did not sit comfortably with them,” the source said.​
“There’s no reference to an apology.”​
 
Not looking good for Hawthorn.

Looks like big payouts to those who made the accusations and the accused.

Kennett left a nice ticking time bomb with his witch hunt.

Take em to the cleaners, Clarko
It's not a game with barracking for a side. There are real people on both sides here with real feelings, emotions and their own truth.
He may be Norths coach but what he may or may not have done prior to that does not reflect on the NMFC, its fans or you yourself.
I find the whole situation sad for all involved and wished there had been a resolution.
