"Fremantle Football Club have reached a confidential settlement with a former junior staffer who alleges she was harassed by coach Ross Lyon several years ago.
The Age can reveal the payment, understood to be a low five-figure sum, came as a result of an incident at a club Christmas function where Lyon allegedly made inappropriate comments about the woman's attire."

Nothing “ saucy “ about sexual harassment

Yup, fair comment, I would change title if I was not too computer illiterate to do so.

Once a scum bag, always a scum bag.

[Scollop]

He misses his fluffer

Got a bit lonely since Dawson left

What a disgrace, especially in this day and age. The part about "trying to keep it quiet with dirty slime ridden money" is actually worse than the offence.

What a disgrace alright, I mean look at the bloke, he's about as attractive as 'Victor of The Company'!!!!!

No doubt you've been fully briefed on the circumstances, PS. Fill us in. What actually happened?

[Enrico_Misso]

Nice one Ro$$.
Not just a Liar but a sleazebag as well.
Tried to pay your way out but now it's gone public and now everyone knows what a d**khead you are.

Couldn't happen to a bigger F'WIT.

Pretty obvious. It was bad enough the Dockers had to secretly pay out the poor chick. A pure lack of class and respect shown to the opposite sex on both counts. Oh well...as long as Rossy gets them back into the finals. Whatever it takes!

[Toy Saint]

Quite frankly I don't care. If Lyon has done something illegal he should be charged, otherwise it's a non story. Sounds like he's allegedly made an innapropriate comment about a womans dress at a Christmas party. Not ideal, but so what. Sounds like the woman was paid a $5 figure sum to keep quiet, that a lot of money for an innapropriate comment.

[suss]

At least it wasn’t “Ex-St Kilda coach Ross Lyon ...”.

Maybe he asked her: why no school dress!!!!!

[magnifisaint]

20k for an inappropriate comment sounds a bit rich. Obviously more than just a comment. Maybe it was continual harrassment?
Maybe 15k?

No, seriously, PS.,What was actually said and done? These things are often mediated out and paid for to avoid unnecessary distress for victims and organisations alike. Head up to the FWC and you'll see shyte disputes settled all the time. We don't know what he's done. It may have been a sleazy comment, or a grope. All inappropriate, but we don't actually know. She received a low five figure payout (code for around 10k), which means going by industry standards it is at the very lowest end of the scale. Apparently she hasn't worked in four months. That we do know. Channel 10 reporting it was an inappropriate comment. Must have been an absolute shocker to put her out of action for that long.

[Trev from the Bush]

Well, that's the upside!

As is always the way, it's not the crime that gets them (and this was not a crime) it's the cover-up!

[Sainternist]

Sounds like there's quite a cover up here. The lewd comment from Ross might just be a small part of it.

[WellardSaint]

It's The Age...
you have to ask whether it's fake news.

He made a comment about her clothing.
Could have been to do with her weight, maybe she's a big 'un?

[parkeysainter]

AFL knew about it and helped cover it up.

[Enrico_Misso]

Perfect oppurtunity for Miss Negativity attack dog Carro to display her #MeToo credentials.

[St. Paul]

AFL knew about it and helped cover it up.

How on earth do you know that?

[St. Paul]

There is a reported confidentiality agreement in place between the parties. Rather than leap straight to the cover up conspiracy theory, maybe it's a case of the victim wanting her privacy and was satisfied by the compensation and now just wants to move on with her life. As many people in the same situation do every day.

AFL knew about it. Read the articles and statements. The AFL purposely didn't bring it into the public eye 5 years back. It all sounds very dodgy. Pretty sure the AFL didn't want to make it public due to Ross just being new to Freo and to protect their brand in WA. Yet, they publicly shame and drag 19 year old Powell-Pepper through the mud for 3 weeks.

[St. Paul]

Which articles? Reference? Again, I ask the question. How do you know what goes on behind closed doors at the AFL? You don't. For someone who seems to hold those who challenge you to high standards of proof, you certainly don't adhere to the standards you demand of others. You have a very annoying habit of posting your opinion as fact. People who routinely do that lack credibility, integrity, maturity and the intelligence to argue properly. Other posters in here have noticed that as well.

[parkeysainter]

Drake Mk2, seriously...just give it up.

If you don't think the AFL knew about this then you are crazy. The AFL even did their own internal review on Rossy boy and were never going to make it public. Its pretty clear this is the case.
