Feels a bit like this is a hostage video (but that might be my red and blue glasses...)

So you ascribe to hardcore legal positivism regarding the role of a judge...! As opposed to the softer Hart model which recognises a judge has discretion within the law and that social norms or principles may be reflected in the exercise of that discretion. Heaven forbid we even consider some of the more radical legal theorists who note that judges are humans with their own biases and social understandings which can inadvertently sway outcomes. A good judge does understand perspective rather than pretending neutrality and challenges themselves to think broadly and independently about a matter.

I don't practice in sports law but have done a few sports sponsorship contracts... My understanding is that contracts with players generally have 'notifiable conduct' clauses which provide processes for managing behaviour that brings clubs/the game/sponsors into disrepute (or is likely to do so) + eventually leads to termination of contracts / fines etc. It wouldn't be surprising for similar clauses to be in the employment of coaches (indeed, a lot of employment contracts have behaviour clauses anyway). Depends on bargaining power a lot of the time between the parties as to how severe the contractual consequences may be. Even if there is not an express clause dealing with it, it might be argued as a material breach of the employment contract depending on how the standards for provision of services and the like are drafted.

Thank you @Grapeviney for such an excellent and necessary post. As a small postscript, what happened in Australia to First Nations people at the hands of the British Empire and subsequent Australian governments in the past 200 years quite neatly fits into the international law definition of genocide... From article 2 of the UN Convention of Genocide: Genocide can be said to have taken place if “any of the following acts [have been] committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group”: Killing members of the group Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group

After we lost, I messaged a mate and finally confirmed I would be attending his buck party on GF day. He was a good sport about the late RSVP, thankfully!

Shame we couldn't get it done... but Lions more deserving in the end

Hopefully we can respond quickly and tighten up our defense

Beautiful!! Time to build!

Thank god they fumbled that, we need to get our heads back in the game!

Good first quarter by Narrm! Hopefully the commentators are proved wrong about Brisbane being slow starters but strong finishers in this game

First blood! Here we go...

Carn the boys!!!

I'd add Munro in too, would have to check stats to decide between them

Great opportunity taken by M Brown!

That'll be a dramatic finish. Hope it holds off for the next 20 mins!

Lovely chain just then by the boys

Thank god for Taj!

Love hearing the rain on the livestream, feels more like being at the ground. Hopefully the boys can keep it clean through the rain!

Certainly it was a disappointment and you have to begin playing what is in front of you, even if it wasn't what you were looking for...!

At least Petty was good!

Game - what the eff

What the eff is this!!!

We really need to rally; falling over during second half is ridiculous

Right, getting on board by emptying out the cupboards! A doctor did tell me I have two healthy kidneys at the end of last year too... 🤑

Hear hear!! I wanna have to scrounge for pennies to fly down next week and the following week to Melb 🥰
