Serious question about Headland

[Cameron_K]

Did he appear in the media before the tribunal slagging Selwood?

No, he didnt .. although his father was a little less reserved

 

[Roundhouse]

No, he didnt .. although his father was a little less reserved

I think the agitation showed by Des snr "on air" will be excused by the fact that he was actually talking to Howard Sattler at the time.

Sattler could move Pope Benedict to use strong language.

Des didnt say a word publicly. They have nothing on him.

if anything it'll be 6pr & sattler that get sued.
like alan jones & 2GB/2UE over the "come down to cronulla bikies & thump a leb" comments
it isn't the person making the comments that gets sued
it's the radio station for broadcasting the comment

 

[Ripper]

I thought Sattler rang Des sen.

 

[shibz_1989]

No, don't think so. Apparantly there was an interview with him aired on Tuesday? Didn't hear anything about it.

 

[Slacker]

I heard it live and sattler made no mention of trying to contact Des Snr. I certainly thought Des Snr must have rang in after being infuriated by sattlers behavior that Monday afternoon.

Leading up to the tribunal no, on the tribunal night itself however Des put his foot in his mouth big time

Did he tell the truth? Fancy that...

Headland told what he thought was true, and it got proven to be unsubstantiated and Selwood was declared Not-guilty as a result

Headland may think it's true, but because he doesn't have the evidence to back himself up, he's now left himself wide open to legal recourse for his accusation on Selwood

Ah no.

According to Tom Percy QC on 6pr this morning, people who discuss matters in court/tribunals need to be able to tell the truth and are therefore given leeway with the evidence they give.

He also said legal action is very unlikely to succeed.

Sorry but a defamation case will not take into account the tribunal result.

They wont sue, Even though I hope they do ....as Im sure Des will stick by his story...

Remember the threats from Fletcher managers ?> What happened ? Huff an Puff ... just appeasing WCE fans .

Healdands words last night when asked his reaction to what he did

"i called him a peadophile, coz thats what he is"

The first parts fine, as he ws recalling what he said at the time, the second part is the one which could land him in hot water

But as you said depends on the leeway he is granted

The tribunal was about Headland proving Selwood saying the comments

The legal case would be about Headland making the comments, so yeah the tribunal wouldn't be taken into consideration

When did the AFL turn into weekly espisodes of Law and Order?

When WCE swept one too many things under the carpet

Drug Problem ?
What Drug Problem ??

Dude, your cred's a bit "suss" after your bullshit on Grover earlier this week.

I got that from a fellow poster who reported it on the main board, and subsequently apologised to Ripper for posting false information

However, look up the transcripts from last night, Des said it and was reported last night, again not my words

Once again if it goes to court Selwood would have to prove he didn't say it once again. As Tom Percy said this will be a lot more interesting in a court of law.

 

[dominguez]

Selwood doesn't want this to drag out, I'd be very surprised if there was any legal action.

I hope he goes for it.

Clutching at straws aren't you. The club and Fletcher made it really clear they were being sent, and that they would be here in a week. Oh. That was a over a week ago. Easily. Maybe Fletcher's clutching at straw.
