Bruce Francis (Part3)

[Reality rules]

I found this quote from Bruce interesting:

"I'm not usually a tin foil hat, conspiracy theorist, but I reckon we were set up from the start by the AFL."

For someone who proclaims impartiality, he's clearly in one camp.

WE is somewhat representative of a position. Great find Dee.

 

[Armchair Critic]

If it was, he would want to keep that very quiet being a legal practitioner.

That could be interpreted as serious misconduct

Who is a legal practitioner ?

Yep sorry, I had my wires crossed. I've 15 things going on at once here

It wasn't a quote from Bruce it was a reply

Well I have learn't something from reading Bombertalk4 . I always thought it was Hardie. What a tool

That's just weird. Why report the AFL for failing its duty of care and not Essendon?

 

[jenny61_99]

Heard on the grapevine that he is mates with Hird's old man.

Well, I'd like to know if this is true, rather than relying on hearsay.

 

[threesixpio]

What's going on here, you two?

Both lifeguards

 

[The_Reaper]

Really , I wonder if he has a relationship with someone that has the initials IH

Ian Healy?

Don't confuse Hanke the spin doctor with Hanke the legal practitioner.

 

[Reality rules]

Both lifeguards

With slashed floaties.

Thanks dear!

Maybe it might not be too far off the mark!

It's almost like a teenager blaming their parents for ****ing up.

"It's not MY fault I did something stupid - it's YOUR fault for not stopping me!!"

Lol... I read that as;

"We didn't do anything wrong, but if we did it's everyone else's fault for not stopping us."

People have been confused by who the Contract Principal is and the old chestnut of who employees the players. Players go club, club then goes AFL

Players are employed by the AFL

 

[Reality rules]

Players are employed by the AFL

Players are employed by the club IAW AFL Rules

 

[blackshadow]

Players are employed by the AFL

That assertion would create legal argument for years. I believe they are employed by the clubs but as part of their employment with the club they also have contractual obligations with the AFL.

Yep they negotiate with the club, take direction from the club in a master servant legal arrangement and the club will either employ them or dismiss them directly.

 

[neutralguy]

I wonder who bankrolled it?

Not cheap to fly around and meet and greet the stars in this horror movie.

My favourite part of that thread is one of the Bruce/Hird followers actually suggested they start chipping in to help finance Bruce's fight for justice for brave brave James.

My understanding is that the AFL are the employers. It's been discussed on this board before, and it comes up whenever people talk about the draft & restraint of trade issues.
Players negotiate contracts with their club, but the AFL signs off on them (and can reject them).

I'm in agreement with Reality rules that clubs are the employers but it's never been legally tested AFAIK.

Only if those contracts do not conform to the AFL Rules. A governing body sets the framework for the contractual environment in a attempt to have equalization across the league on expenditure. A pseudo award type of situation, hence COLA and so forth.

Clubs get players jobs with friendly companies to circumnavigate the salary cap or other benefits like cars and the like. If no salary cap existed, the richer clubs would blow everyone else into the weeds. Yes it's great in theory.

Clubs have their own infrastructure. The AFL allows clubs to engage whom ever as long as it's within the AFL Rules.

Change "Mr Grieves" to "Mr Dank" and you have the lyrics for the whole supplements scandal.

[Boxhead_31]

My understanding is that AFL is similar to a general contractor and the clubs a sub contractors who employee specialists to perform a role for them.
