Who cares if they want compensation?
I hate the underlying message in articles like that. Oooohhh they want money, how dare they.

So, if three people testified that X hit Y without provocation outside a pub, how would that count as evidence?
I think itâs moreso that they have said they never sought compensation, but that has been shown to not be truthful. It does diminish their credibility a bit.

If this is true, it does muddy the waters and allow the grubs something to target in response.
I dunno. I said it before but if youâre going to go public you have to be 100% upfront, or else youâll come undone very quickly.
This isnât going to end well for Rioli.

I interpreted what the letter said as, in responding to the inquiry they werenât expecting compensation. There is a context there, but obviously, the space for interpretation is now pretty wide. I reckon the lawyers dropped the ball there a bit in reviewing or perhaps not reviewing, the statement.

If solid can be a synonym for predictable, thenâŚyes.
It was that.
There was a recent British TV series about a child custody case. When the lawyers took over, it was entirely based on winners and losers. The father bitterly said afterwards to the mother that she won after dirt and reputation trashing were part of the tactics.
The mother responded that everyone had lost through that process, including the children who were forced to take sides. One child alienated himself from both of them.
Clarkson is the most successful AFL Coach thx century. He appears to have been given licence to do whatever it takes to achieve premierships for the club.
Really? What did he say? I mean, I know Clarko is a tool but he criticized Frawley for communicating with Hird?
IIRC Frawley went on the record that the AFL appointed him to the AFLCA position without any qualifications to do the job and then had to face the shâŚstorm of the Essendon coaches in the saga, expected to act as the AFL mouthpiece and being criticised for whatever he did. It was more or less an apology for not doing enough for the Coaches, bending to pressure to distance the AFLCA from providing any support to them (not AFL good blokes, not part of the boys club like Clarkson).
