(according to Fox Footy) Freo had 4 lawyers and a QC, and their 35-odd page
statement plus other legal costs totalled over two hundred thousand dollars
(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
If nothing else it's a good example of how lawyers milk their clients for
all they're worth

They should go the AFL for costs given that Freo won and the AFL
haven't stopped apologising

not to appeal.

nope, wish I did, i'm only going by what was said on White Line Fever last
night - was an interesting episode. I'd hazzard a guess that Freo spent more
though

Looking at the Eagles pay structure, I reckon we'd be close to the most
expensive 4 points!
