    I was working at Moorabbin when this happened. One of the Senior Sergents for the division was a senior St Kilda FC trainer. I have no knowledge of interference, and would like to think not, but I think the mere facts create potential for a conflict of interest. With all the issues the matter had, it's an easy thing to alledge interference, but I'm not sure what evidence there is to support the contention.

                    I was there for over 4 years. From when the complaint was laid, the process and everything in between. I haven't heard anything that constitutes corruption. That's a very serious label that gets used too quickly. I have more faith in the professionalism of the VicPol members.

                        Yeah your right we don't know the full story of what went down.

                            Ok. I'm not meaning to make light of the topic at hand at all in relation to Milne.

                                    He has a pretty good point.
                                    I'd say the case being "inadequately" investigated might say something.

                                        As far as Lovett goes its just not that simple. Lovett had a history and I have no doubt he had a contract written such that it would be easy enough for StKilda to move him on if he didn't meet certain criteria. The fact that there hasn't been a successful court action against StKilda in regards to his sacking speaks volumes IMO.
