The Foschini case

In 1983, Mr Justice Crockett of the Victorian Supreme Court handed down his decision in the ‘Foschini Case’. Silvio Foschini, a South Melbourne/Swans player who did not wish to live and play in Sydney, had a clearance application to the St Kilda club refused. He took legal action, claiming restraint of trade. Unlike previous cases, which were always settled out of court, the Sydney Swans, who believed that St Kilda, by illegally approaching players had undermined the stability of the club, refused to negotiate. Crockett judged that the VFL’s zoning, clearance, transfer and poaching rules were illegal, and constituted an unreasonable restraint of trade on professional footballers. The VFL was subsequently forced to limit its restrictions on player movement between clubs. Although the zoning regulations were retained, players were able to become free agents upon expiration of their employment contracts with clubs.

Following the Foschini case, significant changes were made to the VFL’s player rules. Players who had played out their contracts were now free to seek employment with other clubs, though the club which lost a player could be compensated by the club obtaining the player.
