MN reading a prepared statement. Sounds like the release sent out earlier today.
Club has spoken to Lovett & management. Confidential. Is this the end for him? Can't answer
Standard AFL contract. No special behaviour clauses.
Asked what the odds he will never play for us. No Answer
Asked whether any other saint were there. Said no other saints under investigation (whatever that means)
MN sounded very nervous & stuttery (understandable)

I think there are behavioural clauses in the standard contract. I think can be sacked for bringing brand/club/game/afl into disrepute, meaning NO payout !!Saintersss wrote:So does that mean if he is found guilty and we sack him we still have to pay him out?

I can't believe there was no "special clause" in his contract and he was given a "standard contract", given his past misdemeanour'sEastern wrote:I think there are behavioural clauses in the standard contract.

If this is true it's embarrassing to say the least.
Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!

I may be wrong but I believe that the 'Didak clause' (as these special clauses becasme known) were found to be in breach of the AFLPA agreement and were stopped?St Fidelius wrote:I can't believe there was no "special clause" in his contract and he was given a "standard contract", given his past misdemeanour'sEastern wrote:I think there are behavioural clauses in the standard contract.

I seem to recall that when Didak transgressed again in 2008 it was stated that he no longer had those clauses in his contract becasue tehy were illegal.
Therefore the AFL claim that their standard contract contains enough 'wriggle room' to cover Clubs in situations where players are found to have misbehaved so appallingly that they require sacking.

Translation
Yes , there certainly was another Saint there ,, but at this time he/they are not being investigated.
What will be next from this club ?
