wouldnt be the first time a sporting identity has considered or even taken action because of workplace injury.
Wasnt it Joe Misiti a few years back who took on the AFL over the silly rubber disc in the centre of the ground - i think he slipped on it and did some damage

Broke his jaw. I think Alessio also tried to sue.

Yep on the cricket pitch area in a pre-season match in 1997, was the start of a c*** of a year.

We need to be aggressive on the trade table this year. No player is safe expect Jobe. Scare a few players by offering them as trade bait.

Didn't Shaun Rhen bust his knee in on of the first pre-season games and they got rid of it immediately? I think he did sue them successfully.

Here we go:
Former Adelaide Crows ruckman Shaun Rehn took the league to the Supreme Court after he suffered a career-ending knee injury. Rehn was contesting a centre bounce for the Crows in 1999 when he slipped on a rubber disc used by umpires to bounce the ball, and his knee buckled.
Rehn's injury `"had severe impact on his future earnings and capabilities as an AFL footballer'', his lawyer argued in 2005. The case was settled with a confidential payout, which is understood to be significant.
Carlton's Luke O'Sullivan successfully argued loss of income after he suffered a serious knee injury due to the ground's surface, during a pre-season match at VFL park in 1993.
The payout figure is also unknown.

Those are very different to what MaClure is suggesting though, because the league did something that specifically put the players at an increased risk of injury. We've just got a shit fitness program.
