The Tigers Private Deal?

Re: The Tigers Private Deal?

Doesnt this mean the proof is there if they are going to court about not getting it?
Interesting arguement, the players go to court claiming what they are owed or were promised and Casey says how could i possibly do that its illegal according to the AFL rules!

Also if Casey never gave it to them well he has done nothing wrong, if its not in writing somewhere its not going anywhere.

Not so a verbal contract is legally enforceable.

There seems to be some blurring of what we once believed and what is now being presented to us.

If I've got it right we were told that one N Brown was going to benefit from the advice of a very successful property developer if he went to the tigres. Now there is nothing in the rules to prevent him doing what he likes with his money legally earned within the salary cap.

What now seems to be alleged is that the carrot to join was not just advice but guaranteed amounts of dough, and he and two colleagues feel sufficiently upset to be seeking legal redress. This would not appear to be the usual fudging of salary cap rules that goes on but a blatant disregard for them.

Mind you the AFL has got itself in an awful mess; it has cracked down so hard on the obvious breeches of the salary cap that clubs have had whole seasons, even several seasons, disrupted by it, and now they have two of the bigger clubs struggling to make progress and one has a player being employed as a member of the Diplomatic corps and another has players and ex players suing over promised monies not included in the salary cap.

All I know is the AFL will find a convenient way out.

What it should have done long ago is to call for a sworn copies of the Ambassador's contract, duty statement and actual hours spent earning it, regularly updated. And they should have looked into the the "property advice" system and its relationship to the salary cap.

Knowing it & proving it are 2 different things 'buddy'.

You know what? I left about 10 words out of what I wanted to say. I actually was trying to say that I don't get why so many people (not here) are so surprised that this deal is in place.

Still what you say is a very frank but true point.

AFL probes Tigers' property dealings


You'd love to see the league go for the jugular, but one suspects they won't.

Just didn't think it would be so blatant and didn't expect them to fall out so publicly, but it's par for the course with the eat your own tigres.

There are all sorts of ways of doing this sort of thing without promising amounts, as seems to have occurred. Gentlemen's agreements only apply to gentlemen,

Nathan Brown from my mail back then was promised the world so much so that all the little perks from the Tiges were too good to refuse.

Sold his share to Craig Ellis.

Judas has another clothing line called Blackbird I believe. Still overpriced crap.

Yep it is called Blackbyrd and it is in Chapel Street, Sth Yarra.

Provider of some of the most heinous clothing known to man (i.e: button up v-necks)

Blackbird now that's interesting, it was the name given to those who went to Africa and captured slaves and transported them to the Americas. The trade was known as Blackbirding.

Blackbird Brown has a ring to it.
