Werenโ€™t the AFL going to use the Australian Human Rights Commission to conduct the investigation?ย 

Before or after it came out in the media? Even if it was before, likely an optics plan B.

ET do you honestly believe the AFL wouldn't want to desperately see this go away? Gil will be totally cacking his dacks now this has gone public and it looks likely to be taken out of his hands

Not saying its right or wrong, but the wheels of investigation and action move faster when accusations are made public

Agree.ย 

At the end of the day, if there was nothing to the story it would all disappear and Clarkson/Fagan/Burt/HFC would have nothing to worry about. Their combined reactions and wording suggest otherwise, in my opinion

The time period for complaining about limited right of reply or how Jackson approached them is over now and I don't expect to hear about it again. The fact is that the story is out now and needs to be dealt with, any talk in media questioning the journalistic process is irrelavant and deflecting from the real issue at hand.ย

if I am to be fully honest I am disappointed with you Demonlander's for not getting stuck into me properly for having a poorly formed opinion on something I clearly didn't do the requisite ground work.

I was worried I'd been too abrupt with you mate, now I know I could've gone harderย ๐Ÿ˜†

I think the AFL showed us what they thought of external tribunals in the Essendon cover up/ saga.

The terms of reference for any inquiry would be a nightmare to agree. I suspect they will be preliminary at best in the sense that they "will look into it" to see what aspects require deeper scrutiny and specific answers.

In other words it wont be was there conduct unbecoming but more like was there actions that might in the absence of further evidence reasonably be considered unbecoming.

Add to that the usual tendency for mediation and we might end up with apologies, volountary submission to cultural awareness training and perhaps the funding of an appropriate support group.

And are there 3/4 groups of complainants or over 15.

Not impossible to deal with it before Christmas as Kennet has suggested but probably unlikely

PS On a separate but related note there are now murmurings about the appropriateness of removing indigenous boys from their homes and relocating them to upmarket private boarding schools on football scholarships.

"The patterns of alleged behaviour at Hawthorn are also at play when well-meaning whitefellas take it upon themselves to โ€œrescueโ€ a First Nations kid by opening the doors to some of Australiaโ€™s most elite schools and colleges.

Done right, a boarding school education can be empowering and life-changing, in the best ways, for First Nations students. Done wrong, it can wreak untold harm.

Many of the young people and parents with whom I worked describe how they experienced or witnessed abuses of power during their time at boarding school. Whether generated by malice or the best of intent, the consequences for the young person were equally damaging."

Still no AFL panel!

I suspect no one wants the job. This is a classic no win scenario, who the hell would want the job? ย

An All Lawyer panel

why does this not surprise me

As it should be

At least they got something rightย 


Interesting there is no mention that the proposed TofR have been supplied to Andrew Newbold's legal rep...

Equally interesting is that the panel will be 'assisted by' the Gordon Legal law firm.ย  They do so much work for the AFL they could be considered an extension of AFL Legal so is it truly an independent process....

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
