Scandal Luke Slayers

[western royboy]

So much this. One would think that - hypothetically being put in this position - we'd perhaps go with the feeble "my account was hacked", we'd feel pretty shitty that we've dragged the other party's name through the mud through our own carelessness, we'd quietly (as quietly as possible) step away from our AFL club role and probably even take a career break, while dealing with the inevitable marriage breakdown.

That's not a particularly attractive option, granted. But we'd probably find it more palatable than "Hey, I could always just throw my wife under the bus!" sharing deeply sensitive and personal information about her, a scumbag thing to do even if it were true (and which is why it's in court in the first place). On the other hand, Kate Sayers' actions have all been very predictable and - put in the same shoes - the actions that I reckon most of us would take: "I don't care about a settlement; I want him and anyone who helped him exposed and burnt to the ground."

But the funny thing is, given the timings of the key events and that Sayers could have just quietly resigned to avoid the AFL investigation, you have to wonder what favours Sayers has done for the AFL in the past, where he'd be so confident in going to the league with the full expectation of the absolute joke of an investigation it would carry out.

Lots of skeletons in the closet, strap yourself in

And who's going to publish what comes out? Anyone that has AFL accreditation will be soiling their pants they will lose that.

Business and court reporters will be all over it.

AFL reporters won't need to touch it.

You can 100/1 that it gets to the Family Court with me

I'd be fairly shocked if this was taken to the family court, there's no precedent for it and one of the fundamental rights of a defamation case is trial by jury (which of itself is a quirk of the system). It's not a family matter, so I think the judge will be pretty careful not to set a precedent of permitting it as it provides an avenue (in the future in unrelated cases) for gaslighting partners (male or female) from defaming their partner in the context of a divorce proceeding and not being held to account to it.

Looks like Sayers is going to go down swinging.

That's Sayer's call, not the AFL.

If the AFL is paying 75% of the costs, then it’s their call to cover the CCC.

Corruption, Cover Up, Cheating

The last thing they want is to air their dirty laundry aired to the public. There is a cost for the silence.

I dont want you to take my carlton support to mean anything here given it is a former carlton president.... but in my opinion, the AFL have bruce Lee reflexes in avoiding court disputes.

And Brandon Lee reflexes in avoiding the initial controversy.

Can’t agree with you.

If he’s even done a half of what is being claimed, and the “integrity” unit have behaved in the manner alleged, exposure of this is important. Nobody but a court has the power to demand disclosure.

Noting at this stage all events are “alleged” it appears yet another example of boys club mentality amongst people with status and power who do have power over others. I would very much like to see the outcome.

Also - integrity unit… WTF? Investigators who listen to one sides wild story (which seems to include telling them not to bother verifying it) and goes Rightio, case closed.

This is pathetic

Also, if two of his daughters are on his side... wow

That's a new one. Supporting a parent via food. The choice of food would be crucial in this particular case.

For this thread, I hope the food was appreciated by glascotts monkey.

Imagine how much of a low life you would be trying to have 2 of your daughters come out with support statements for Daddy if it works its way to court. They are trying to back the right Hor$e here.

That would be like Goering and Himmler saying Hitler has some redeeming qualities the public might not be aware of. What a Circus this Clown has gotten into. That shovel is working overtime on the hole he is digging here.

They've done their dough then.
