is it true that the board hired an ex crim to look for dirt on Hadley?
i think that is what he said on the weekend
some guy who had spent time in jail was allegedly hired by someone to look into him
Mate I would of expected better from you. The gentleman you referred to as a criminal, well his name is Jude Finlay, and one of the most respected investigators in Australia, and used by departments in official government inquiries over many years.
Hadley has attacked Jude for the simple reason that Jude was hired by the club to investigate all areas of the club, and his affidavit which is presently in the Supreme Court is very damming for certain mates of Hadley's.
In 1974, Jude got behind the wheel of his car drunk, and a tragic accident ensued and a person lost their life. When Hadley on radio called Jude a criminal, and inmate, a grub and any other denigrating names he spent all night thinking about, I rang Jude.
Jude was shattered at the attack, but said to me that no matter how much time he spent behind bars for his stupidity of driving his car drunk, Hadley only set in stone that his debt to the person and their family will never be paid, and Jude lives with that every day.
Jude is a great bloke who made a horrible mistake as a teenager, a mistake that all of us at that age could have found ourselves in but for the grace of God. I and anyone who has ever met Jude Finlay has nothing but high praise for the man, and no associate, alliance or friend has walked away from Jude, or ever will.
Fame does strange things to some people, they forget where they come from, the people they have crossed on their way to success, and they forget what they represent and their real values. In Jude's own words, his debt will never be repaid, but if I had a choice, I know who I would want in the trenches of Gallipolli with me....the other jasper would be selling our guns to the Turks.
