It appears Hunter is off to Court tomorrow


Holding "grave concerns" about their client, the legal team representing a 2012 Essendon player will ask the Supreme Court to order the AFL and the club to hand over documents about the club's 2012 supplements program.

Hal Hunter, an Essendon rookie list player from 2012 to '13, will be asking Justice Nemeer Mukhtar to order that the AFL and Essendon hand over "relevant" documents on Thursday before deciding how to advance their legal case, according to one of Hunter's lawyers.

Patrick Keyzer, a professor of law at La Trobe University and Hunter's lawyer, said: "The AFL and Essendon have declined repeated requests to give us documents that are relevant to the health and safety of our client [Hunter]."

Keyzer said Hunter, now 22, "had the misfortune to be a rookie at Essendon during the notorious supplements scandal.

"We want those documents because we are gravely concerned about the health and wellbeing of our client."

Because rookies that year weren't involved in the program. I thought we had this confirmed with Daniher? Therefore, if he was injected while at the club it's doubtful that it was with the same goofy juice that is now under investigation.

He must have just trod on one of the needles then you think?

Yeah because the only injections AFL players ever get contain either banned or harmful substances.

Maybe he was injected, like many AFL players at many clubs are. But if he was it's highly likely it wasn't as a part of the goofy juice program.

Then why the reluctance to provide the information?

Because it would show Essendon were running a doping program, and the AFL trying to sweep it under the rug.

But that's if they have anything. If they do, then it means they were withholding information from a government agency.

Well Hal seems to have no idea, if he wasn't part of the program and wasn't injected with anything dodgy, then the EFC will show that hey?
He seems to be asking and getting no answers, so i kind of wonder how you know?

Why does Hal Hunter legal team think there are documents about the program if ASADA, KPMG forsencic team, the players defense team all could not present any....oh wait that might make his grave concern case hard to defend against...

Keyzer said while Essendon had provided some documents, "there are some categories of documents that have not been disclosed".

Our lack of record keeping has already been confirmed... we know that there aren't records of everything that occurred. The documents that Hunter's lawyer wants may not even exist. And he knows this, and is no doubt using it to his advantage.

But Hunter wasn't given an infraction notice and as a rookie wasn't involved in the official supplements program that is in question, so hopefully this court case gives him all the answers he requires.

That's not the question, how do you know what he was or wasn't injected with if the EFC don't?
 
Opportunist...

He clearly didnt make a cent out of his footy career... and now he is going to blow everything he has on this one. Lets just see how long he can hold out paying those legal bills...

Apparently once again this is more newsworthy than our two hawthorn players on sexual assault charges... dont we care about that or Majak Daw's case anymore?

If he has a university law professor representing him suspect there is a fair bit of pro bono work happening.
