Ben Holland suing RFC and Clinton Casey for half a million

[one-eyed]

Press conference is on at 11am. SEN will be taking it.

SEN had some contracts lawyer talking to KB and Greg Denham this morning and he didn't seem to think we had a problem because Holland was never paid. He also said this could take 1-2 years in the courts  .

Steven Wright at the press conference....

* No claim has been served on the club. So only are aware what's been said.

* Holland is no longer with the club so brought in the lawyers.

* So far these are only accusations. They believe based on talking with people these accusations are without foundation and we will vigorously defend them. Accusation not what was claimed (?).

* Notified AFL and they are full aware.

* Haven't spoken to Clinton but he's aware.

* We won't be getting into hypotheticals about salary cap issues.

* Surprised this came up 3 weeks ago given how long ago it was.

KB seems to think this has been festering for a while and now this is the next step.

From the Age article he finished 6th in the B&F in a year that we played in a prelim final - but he fell away after that.

A sweetner maybe?

I don't remember how well he played, but they could have fluffed up his B&F finish to use in their favour.

As someone who dabbles in the stockmarket, i want to know how i can get a guarantee that my shares will go up lol. When someone finds the financial advisor who guarantees returns ... please pass on there number. Greatly appreciated.

Secondly, he admits he got work $4000 worth or work as a podiatrist - so he did get some.

The rest of it is between him and Casey as far as im concerned.

Holland wanted out. In fact for 2 days he was off to Adelaide before Holland changed his mind. IIRC at the time Spud said he had a chat to convince him to stay (loyalty and all that).

So much for Spud saying the club should move on from the time he was there  .

loser.

True Ramps. Players are allowed to work and invest outside provided it's done at market value that can go either up or down. I wonder how Carlton and Judd "VISY's environment ambassador" are feeling.

Demetriou was interviewed about 30 mins again he said he thought this issue was dead and buried 6 years ago.

Geez some of these callers on SEN have no idea. "What did Sam Butler do at Richmond?"

If the idiot made these promises, why didnt he just pay up so it wouldnt be public?

Because he is a clueless tool.

How many people on here voted for Casey as President? Too many

You would be seriously peeved if you were Wright. You get the club back on a sound and stable financial path and yet we're still dealing with issues from our moronic past administrations 7 years later  .

And as WP mentioned what about then CEO Mark Brayshaw. Where was he? Casey and Spud are no longer involved any AFL club yet he's now a board member at North.

IIRC he actually had a good year. I seem to remember it was the year he went from the forward line to CHB and looked like he had found his niche.

Not I said the fly.  I was extremely vocal in the push to remove him and his board, and it took me a fair while to be convinced that the vote to install an existing board member as our new president and keep many of the same board members was the right choice.  I have come around now but it was only based on their performance over the next few seasons that they regained the respect in my eyes.

And with people like Casey, Brayshaw and Frawley steering the ship for that extended period, is it no wonder that it has taken the new administration such a long time to 'right the ship'?  A cancer on the club was the Casey years - aaargghh, don't get me started on those fools again!

[mjs]

Nor me - also didn't vote for Football Manager to go on the board 

[Francois Jackson]

i didn't but i would be surprised if anyone did.

what an idiot. 2 much money that bloke and the club r still paying for it.

credit where credit is due steve wright has done a great job.
this could really stuff us up this could.

here we r bagging carlton for being cheaters bla bla bla and i hope it doesn't come back to bite us on the arse

[WilliamPowell]

have no hesitation in saying I voted for the Casey ticket as the alternative was... well it wasn't a credible alternative IMV

BTW The current board is the Casey ticket minus Casey and they have done a great job in the last couple of years ... dare I say it ....FACT
