Big under the table payouts incoming

Definately

 

[The Dustbin]

Hang on, since 2000, we've had:

Sheedy
Knights
Hird
Thompson
Worsfold
Rutten
Scott

The fact they're counting Hurd's second stint as separate is bullshit. He didn't get fired, he was suspended by the AFL.

Egan?

Egan?

Excluding caretakers

Does Thompson count as a caretaker?

Every North fan everywhere loves Zurhaar who embodies the Shinboner spirit.

Clarkson to begin as North coach after Roos' board approval

The Kangaroos have approved Alastair Clarkson to start as coach as planned next week

Must be pretty confident they’ll be exonerated… awks if they have to stand them down again when the findings come through.

I think it is just the process. Until they are proven guilty of something you can not really stand them down as they are not facing criminal charges. The allegations are very serious of course so it is a touchy area to find middle ground.

That's just the corner of the rug being lifted...broom at the ready

People will be cynical I guess but I do not see it being swept under the carpet. Research the people appointed to hear the allegations and you will find it is not just some BS panel made up of white AFL cronies . I just think it will be hard to prove either way.

 

[Kong]

My feeling on Clarkson and Fagan is they won’t be found guilty despite logic suggesting they are, but they’ll both eventually resign due to poor on field performance that likely stems from the playing group checking out.

A lot like Hird in 2015.

 

[Call Me Cake]

I am a believer of innocent until proven guilty, so I have no qualms with them continuing while the process unfolds.

That's a clever take. Well played.

www.abc.net.au

Not good by the AFL if they were planning on giving the ex-players and families a reason to believe the process would be genuinely indepedent.

The statement claims the AFL ignored the woman when establishing the framework for the investigation, leaving her with no option but to walk away.

Marque Lawyers claim the AFL gave “Amy” just two days to address the terms of reference before they were established.

“Unfortunately the members of the First Nations community did not wish to be involved in our totally fair investigation so we can only conclude that there’s nothing to see here and we wish Alastair a successful career at North Melbourne”

Hawthorn’s review was external wasn’t it?

Isn’t it a bit convenient to have an internal review of an external review that then finds that everyone who spoke to the external review was lying?

 

[Beerfish]

They want it done before Christmas I guess..

I believe Egan did quite a bit of work gaining the trust of the people he spoke to, it wasn't as simple as just a random phone call. I suppose it's hard for most of us who grew up in major cities without a particular distrust of police or legal systems to understand why someone might not believe they'll get a fair hearing in the way these players or their partners appear to believe it.

 

[Lore]

Before preseason starts if possible.

Treating it as inconvenient rather than important.

Can we please fast forward to the part where Clarkson gets banned for life?

Do you really think that will happen?

Only in the AFL would you have the league sanctioned website celebrating a coach under investigation for pretty serious racial allegations starting his first day at his new job.

Those optics.
