🧵Despite previous history, Pickett is innocent until proven guilty ppl. Imo though, WAPol would have used the past 6 months to investigate & make their case airtight, lulling Pickett into a false sense of security. That said, I think questions have to be asked in regards to the

While still waiting for a decision from the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the #AFL decided to draw its own line in the sand on the eve of the 204 finals series, not willing to have the saga hang over another season with all the negative headlines and associated brand damage.
Essendon was fined two million dollars, withdrawn from the final series and Hird was handed a one year suspension – not for doping but for failures in governance oversight.

My latest article, an #OPINION piece, for the @InsideFeedHQ sport website: Jordan De Goey should NOT play for Collingwood vs Geelong tomorrow. Nor should he have played since the alleged sexual assault charges were laid against him. #auspol #AFL #THREAD

1) WAM who holds the Aboriginal flag rights is part-owned by Ben Wooster. His former company Birubi Art Pty Ltd was prosecuted for selling and profiting of fake Aboriginal art and was fined $2.3m. 
2) Birubi Art Pty Ltd was handed the penalty by the Federal Court on Wednesday after it determined the company breached consumer law by claiming it sold “authentic Aboriginal Art” that was made in Indonesia.
3) Wooster is also part-owner and director of WAM Clothing, a company which has been sending cease and desist letters to companies which use the Indigenous flag, including the AFL.
