AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

Um,

Whateley

Zach obviously didn't interview immediately post-game.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

He didn't know at that point in time what the allegations were and he was pretty clear about, you know, what he'd said.

Whateley

And then Zach and Ollie obviously gave that evidence again last night.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

And I hear the point that there was some slight discrepancies, but...

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

These guys are playing a highly competitive game of football.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

And when it's, when it's come out of Zach's mouth, he's not thinking anything of it because he knows he hasn't done anything wrong.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

So I think for a tribunal to find, to be, to be confident enough to find that all

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

All of those things don't point to the fact that the words weren't said.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

Yeah, really disappointed.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

Yeah, I have.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

Look, we just had a good chat and I think, you know, consistent with he made a very short statement, but he's really disappointed.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

And I think, unfortunately, you know, the weight of evidence, which was in his favour, doesn't seem to have carried the day here.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

And, you know, that's concerning.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

I think anytime a person gives evidence and it's not accepted, that sort of cuts quite deeply.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

You know, I know Zach well enough.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

I know Ollie well.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

You know, these are guys that are, you know, really highly revered, true to their word.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

I don't think anyone's ever doubted that and for the first time that's happened and

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Strong on Butters and Collard verdict (15.04.26)

I don't think that's a good thing for all of us.
