"PORT Adelaide star Zak Butters has been sent straight to the Tribunal for allegedly saying "how much are they paying you?" to umpire Nick Foot during Sunday's match against St Kilda"

Easy case for Port.

I can see that coming out his mouth.
But honestly get over it.

Sack the umpire & Andrew Dillon, give butters 6 weeks and strip anything port gets for butters at the end of the year.
Nothing less than that.

Mr Butters was simply asking how much Mr Foot got paid for his work with Sportsbet. There is nothing abusive or untoward in discussing jobs outside football. Mr Butters maintains a strong interest in event prediction markets (but not gambling on football) and, inspired by Mr Foot and Mr McLachlan, wants to pursue the same career opportunities they have successfully pursued.
 
So the Tribunal hearing will basically be "he said, she said". Each party completley different in what they claim was said


Do the Tribunal believe an AFL.umpire, or the player with the most fines in AFL history?


If Foots claim is upheld, claiming an umpire is on the take is weeks suspension. Not a fine.



BTW I doubt Butters said what Foot claims. Anytime Port are mouthing off he is always the guy who calms the players down. He doesnt seem verbally hotheaded. Does talk/chirp, but does not lose control of himself verbally Physically yes, hence the fines. But never loses control emotionally.


Will be BS if it doesnt go Butters way.

So is this on Butters to prove he didnt say anything or on the AFL and Foot to prove that he did?
Butters had teammates near by to testify & the AFL has mysteriously lost the audio, so will be surprised if Butters is in strife... but this is a corrupt organisation, so who knows.

If i were Port, I would go the courts if Butters gets games
 
'missing audio' has to be a new one even for the afl, surely? are they also selling bridges?
Was so predictable!

Which is why imo the AFL won't go hard at Butters, as want to bury what was said.

Foot will probably be paid off with a small bonus from SportsBet for his ego.

There was a "he said, he said" case last week that didn't go the players way.

Who really knows, but if the AFL clear Butters then surely the umpire cannot umpire again

are we really dying on a hill that the umpire made this up just to pay a 50m?

Why are we assuming Butters is innocent here and the umpire is making stuff up? does Foot have a history of making things up? I know out of the two who has a history here and it isnt Foot
