Player Litigation
highly unlikely, although it's an interesting question. Effectively you're asking about what's called "remoteness" from the negligent act- like how far down the chain does it go before people can no longer hold Essendon accountable for the loss caused by Essendon's negligence. The case they...- Words: 260

It was negligence as far as the players' cause of action against the club is concerned.- Words: 16

Player Litigation
The reputational damage Essendon would suffer as a result of attempting to shift blame to the players by arguing contributory negligence would probably be a greater cost (lost memberships, sponsorships, further bad media, the perception/reality of the club throwing the players under a bus again)...- Words: 380

Player Litigation
Correct- I don't know about the sports law/CAS appeal option stuff (see previous post), but civil litigation I do know. If the players aren't approaching civil litigation against the club/AFL/potentially their own agents, they are doing it wrong. There could be some merit to a united front...- Words: 79

Player Litigation
I don't know - I would have to do research into an area of "law" that I don't have any experience in. It would depend entirely on the CAS rules which seem a bit mickey mouse to me. If an appeal exists it would probably be in the World Anti Doping Convention, which the court refers to as the...- Words: 400

Player Litigation
lawyer here. This is correct. Clearly egregious negligence occurred and the players have a legitimate grievance and a prima facie cause of action, despite being incredibly naive. I suspect hypothetically even if a player at an AFL club had known they were doping but had done so at the direction...- Words: 330

Match day experience - an open letter
As a follow up to my opening post, I understand Eddie mentioned at the fan forum that the club was listening, conceded that the match day experience was "shit", and that there will be no more artificial crowd noise (the Holden ad) among other things. My first reaction was "that's great, the...- Words: 190

Mega Thread All things Heritier Lumumba (Good luck H. Thread closed)
At his best was very handy, and he has played a few stand out games for us this year. I've always found Harry O's "principled" clashes to be more self indulgent grandstanding than something to be admired. If I had to work with a guy who caused dramas, I'd find it really draining and an...- Words: 130

Opinion Will Pies lose a lot of members in 2015? (Poll added)
Yes. The ads cross a line. They are an imposition on and a betrayal of the membership that made this club what it is. Someone at the club thought long and hard about those ads, and concluded "wow that Holden ad is really loud and annoying and detracts from the match day experience, and the...- Words: 290

Opinion Will Pies lose a lot of members in 2015? (Poll added)
I think you might not know what "pathetic" means. Are you saying people who don't want to reward the club which has treated us with contempt by ramming gambling down our throats, or blasting the holden logo at us are in some way weak? The only possible way a member can influence that decision is...- Words: 160

Opinion Will Pies lose a lot of members in 2015? (Poll added)
I'm one of the handful that is a member but isn't renewing. I've posted about it before, and it is entirely because of the match day experience (holden rev up ads and gambling being rammed down our throats) and nothing to do with on field performance.- Words: 47

Unofficial Preview Monday's Fan Forum: The 'Questions?' thread
exactly this. I'd be more likely to attend a 100 point loss where I'm not yelled at by a Holden ad than sit through a full game of the insult to my intelligence that our home games were in 2014. I suspect this fan forum gesture is some backpedaling directly to do with this. My other question is...- Words: 160

Match day experience - an open letter
Agree with all of this, and I've used those words (treated with contempt/exploitation/imposition) in earlier posts. The Holden ad exemplifies it best. Whatever Holden's paying, I doubt it's worth the long term cost of insulting people who have been loyal to the club. I think the decision...- Words: 87

Match day experience - an open letter
If I had to psychoanalyse it, it would be that I'm a very rational person and have always been. The only exception to that in the past has been my interest/passion for footy. Once I felt the club had turned on its supporters (there's no other way to explain the advertising and gambling...- Words: 180
