Someone could search for the filings in the antiquated Supreme Court ePortal.
You have to pay though. What year is this?

What's the bet the AFL will sweep this under the carpet like they did with the Hawthorn saga?

Another complaint where the accusers wanted a handout while remaining hidden.
I like this idea that the AFL has the power to stop racism. Just click their fingers and its gone.
Lol there’s obviously a huge difference between “clicking fingers to stop racism” and “doing absolutely **** all, in fact sometimes empowering the racism”.
Almost as if there was a few steps in between? Or is that too much nuance for you?

A player who stopped playing in 2022 is on the list.
What more should the AFL have done over the last 6 or 8 years ?
Thought screening at all ground entrances? Regulating social media ?
difference here is that the complainants are prepared to submit their claims and have them tested by opposition. Nothing stopping the hawthorn aggrieved from doing exactly the same thing. Of course you don't wonder why they haven't, coz the AFL hushed them up. You just know it's true.

Surely you are not suggesting that the AFL uses brown envelopes?
Sweep what? If i'm walking down Swanston st and someone calls me a white dog, do I sue the City of Melbourne?

Difference is you weren't being targeted because of the colour of your skin.

Phil comes into my shop nice guy its sad that the AFL haven't really done much to stop racism in the past that it still happens today
Does this mean Alan Jarrot can sue Krakour for kicking him in 1985?

I wonder what all those intending to vote No against the Voice think about this
I wonder if admitted racial abusers like Dermott Brereton, Garry Lyon and Tony Shaw are liable here?
Surely to win such a case they’d have to go into specific incidents, dates, names etc.
Can’t just be a ‘the whole league was racist back then and caused me trauma’
Or can it?

Some of the victims of Jim Krakours crimes would be keeping an eye on how much he may be paid out
Then seek compensation of him
