Wonder who's handing across the bank roll this time.

If the Silk wants cash why doesn't he just start a kickstarter?

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Is this the saga that everyone keeps saying they want to put behind them?

Follow the money. No lawyer is going to go down this path with out a payday somewhere along the line.

Also what is his standing in this? He's going to need to show some loss or impact of the AFL's conduct or he has no standing here. If this gets into court, he might find out more than he wants to find out. Holding out for a go away payment perhaps?

I'd love to know what is behind all this.

Just when you thought things were nearly over. Kaboom.

This whole saga will make a great movie one day.

Is this lawyer working pro boner?

 

[The_Wookie]

Is it ironic that the first thing that comes up if you google Jackson Taylor is a band called 'Jackson Taylor and the Sinners?"

Do you find something amusing about the word tromboner?

No, sir. I was laughing at something outside.

In 2015, the articles you have linked, it was rejected as the AFL asked the court to ensure there was a security bond. None was forthcoming and it was made to go away.

18 months later, with Fitz stepping down, he has come back and claims financial backing is in place. Plus added some more 'stuff'.

News-ish, but it is in court.

 

[Demon in Hell]

If this means that Dank will finally be called, then I am all for it.

I want that campaigner on the stand.

 

[hawkman]

Another scene for the movie

 

[Frank Gallagher]

LETS TEAR THIS PLACE APART!!!!

 

[Komrade_Tiger]

This is going to end well.......

 

[FredLeDeux]

It's like all those arguments/threads that people think should end...Just as soon as they get the last word in.

He'd need to wait for the correct environment, the correct setting, the right time and place to tell all but trust me, when he does he'll clear everybody.

You hear me, everybody!

 

[telsor]

Joking aside...A quick check of this guy gives the impression of 'trying to make a name for himself' much more than 'distinguished legal mind', so yeah, could easily be doing it more for the attention and a share of any winnings.

I doubt the AFLs lawyers are quaking in their books.

 

[CatFan79]

AFL's fault, whole thing. How dare they and ASADA try and do a deal with Evans to sweep it under the rug. SHAME.

The legal parasites continue to cash in.

 

[Demon in Hell]

Who do you think Dank would dump on more, the AFL or Essendon.

My guess would be the latter.........the AFL pays better.
