Why can't this insurance company just refuse to pay them anything out of this, and let Essendon foot the bill?

Nope they all fellow employees. Club is responsible for providing a safe work place.

The club may be able to sue them to recover losses but the players actions is against the club.
The "CLUB" is an inanimate object. It's a thing. It can't do diddly squat. The people that RUN the club, however....

No the club is a legal entity in its own right within the law. It may require people to make decisions on behalf of the club but the club itself has legal rights and responsibilities akin to that of any person.

Doesn't the insurance cover the legal costs of defending action against the club, why would it cover the damages if found accurate?


The Worksafe related criminal convictions against Essendon may void their insurance coverage.

The club has previously stated they have insurance to cover this. It would be a really odd (and stupid) thing if they did not.

It should also raise alarm bells if the club starts making additional payments on top of the insurance payouts.
Thanks Muggs :thumbsu:
 
Apparently you CAN get insurance for stupidity. Who'd a thunk it?

It's why most of us have car insurance.

Glad I had it when I stupidly reversed out diagonal park looked in my centre review mirror and saw a car pass, did not check my side mirror and failed to notice it stopped just after I thought it passed me. Boy did I feel stupid reversing into the rear corner panel of a Merc

He will be at Adelaide i think.
Thats what the media is running with at least, "The Adelaide Advertiser" had Heppell on the Back page in the photoshopped Crows Jumper.

Have to find the story again but it's a different insurance policy to their legal insurance. More of a public/professional indemnity insurance.

Unlikely pretty sure the work cover charges were based on negligence not intent. You insure yourself against your own negligence. Wilfully doing something is where issues arise.
 
So he signs a consent form, happily sits back & lets some ******* inject 'something' into his body & then keeps quiet about it all to the dope testers. Then denies doing anything wrong! Yep sue Essendon its their fault, that should work out fine.:rolleyes: Could he just piss off for 12 months & get his stupid ugly face off fox tv while hes at it, makes me want to barf:thumbsdown:
