Why would we have done under the table dealing s for Ben Holland? Bloody hell Richmond!! Couldn't you at least make it for someone decent?
 
Re: 500K extra for that hack?

??? What brought that on Balmy?
 
Re: 500K extra for that hack?

Reported on the footy show that holland has launched a writ in the supreme court against casey and the Richmond FC. Alleged he knocked back an Adelaide offer of 1.3 mil because he was promised by casey property, business deals to make up the difference of that offer and the $800,000 offer that Richmond put forward. :mad:

El Presidente strikes from beyond the presidential grave.

If true, will go someway to explaining why N Brown and Johnson decided to come to Richmond of all clubs and perhaps why we have had reasonably good player retention in recent years.

Its not good.There are suggestions other players were offered incentives/business opportunities.Just wonder what was offered to Nathan Brown to come across aprt from his contract.This has the potential to be very messy.
 
Re: 500K extra for that hack?

I am actually more staggered that my post was the first one about this. :hihi

All these recenet years hanging it on Carlton cheats and turns out our president was just as bad.

Probably outside the salary cap. We'll get done for rorting it next, knowing our luck.
Hope its not in writing.

Re: 500K extra for that hack?

If it was verbal I wonder how Holland can actually prove it.

They said it was a combination of verbal, written and implied.

Lyon said it was an interesting situation because, if true, he wasn't actually paid it.

I was trying to find another source for it, and I was hoping someone would beat me to it ;D

Thats actually a good point because it may mean we can't be done for salary cap rorting.

Yep , we definately can't be done for cheating with regards to holland but..


If he wins we will have to pay him 400k or whatever..

the bigger worry the afl will look into other players..

I doubt it,if Holland wins the case the AFL will go us for rorting or attempted rorting & then bring in the investigators to find out what the other possible deals were around & promised by Mr Casey.Property ownership in North QLD will be one of the first area's looked at.
 
Re: 500K extra for that hack?

I am no lawyer but will be hard to prove. Poor form from Holland .. he should be grateful he has made $1 from football the hack that he is. How often did the Holland boys threaten to return to Adelaide when their contracts were up for renewal? One can only hope that his brother defends him ... one of the more "spaced out" footballers I have met .. Not a fan of that family.
 
Re: 500K extra for that hack?

If we get fined then Casey can pay for it, he has enough dosh, he's partly responsible for the on field predicament were in (Frawley/Miller), so he bloody well owes us!
 
Re: 500K extra for that hack?

My recollection was that Nathan Brown stated openly in his early interviews that one of the attractions was the ability to work with Casey on property deals. Does anyone else recall this.

No,don't be surprised if Brown was given a property.
 
Re: 500K extra for that hack?

Where do you draw the line on networking as well? If they open this up .. cripes ...
 
Re: 500K extra for that hack?

Yeah it could be murky. If Casey merely offered to facilitate deals then it could be hard to prove as football related income.

well if he was, you would hope it would not be that transparent. surely we were conversant with the rules. if not, we derserve to be fried.
