I'm not sure Kennett helps the Hawthorn cause when he appears on media

Does he have any official capacity at the club?




It’s all about Jeffrey. Hawks have no involvement in this lol. It’s such a feeble attempt at trying to undo damage to his legacy. It’s actually making things worse.

And creating a headache for Hawthorn.

This is mostly driven by media these days. Media know that Kennett is usually very good giving his time and that he won't avoid certain topics when they are directed his way. Honestly the above and the 3AW one was just a clickbait situation likely orchestrated by Caroline Wilson... and it worked beautifully.

Apparently Jeff approached ch9 to appear on the show.
Well that's at least what Caro says to him in the interview

Looks like there’s a lot of posters in this thread with plenty of egg on their faces.

Who’s gonna put their hand up and say they were wrong when it came to Clarkson, Fagan and Burt?
 
So - not specifically named.

Just... around at the time.

OK.
Lots of people were around at the time.

If any of the allegations Sir Rusty the Brave published in his hatchet job could be substantiated you can bet individuals would have been named.
 
Not at all.

If they had some level of proof, but not enough to move forward with, that doesn't mean it never happened or that we must all consider these guys blameless and innocent.

It's really just hanging there now.

I might consider that we'll never know to a legal standard. You consider that we do know.

Agree to disagree.

Not sure how you jump to that conclusion? They are not a defendent but can still be accessed of acting in a racist manner, it sounds more like they are going after the club for allowing a pattern of behaviour rather than individual instances.

Hopefully we will get to the truth finally but I suspect what we will mostly get is a lot of stress on both sides, rich lawyers and some negotiated agreement in the middle.

I understand there’s an element of wanting to defend your coach, but there’s a cart before horse thing that comes to mind.

Wait and see. This isn’t a footballing gotcha moment. There’s going to be a lot of actual real pain from plenty of people involved that emerges over the next 12 months if this goes to court.

No one is the winner and no one will be coming out of it “vindicated”.

Wow so Clarko, Fagan and Burt won't be named. Only the HFC.

So basically the accusers lied about the 3 accused and now going for a soft target on the HFC for an easier pay day.

Basically no.

We don’t know the reasons they are naming the club and not the individuals. But if, hypothetically, Hawthorn is found to have provided a racially prejudiced workplace and the reason it was racially prejudiced is because of the actions of those three individuals, no one will be saying ‘oh well, they weren’t named individually in the case, therefore they are completely without blame’.

You made your decision a long time ago

No need for hypotheticals

No problems Fonzie.

It's ok to admit you were wrong all along.

Companies rather than individuals get taken to court regularly for mistreatment of employess - it's not to do with being mistreated by the logo or company name...

According to that article, they're taking the Hawks to court - perhaps being forced to wear poo and wee colours should be grounds, but more likely it's to do with claims about hbeing mistreated by HFC employees. I wonder who the claims are against?
 
The cycle for many Aboriginal people just keeps hitting rinse and repeat. So sad that people are gloating. Maybe look a bit deeper as why an entire club is being named, not just individuals.
The names of the individuals filling the federal court case are being published now, now we just watch for the expected reaction from the punters..
