Sachi Dade, the partner of former Melbourne AFL player Steven May, has launched Federal Court proceedings against the Melbourne Demons and two senior club figures. Multiple outlets report that Dade’s claim is directed at Melbourne Football Club, head coach Steven King and general manager of football Alan Richardson. The case relates to allegations that the respondents disclosed private information, according to coverage from The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald, with Brisbane Times also summarising the matter. The proceedings are reported as appearing before the Federal Court on Friday. Following the filing of the lawsuit, Steven King makes statements reported by The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald, including that he says he is fine. The reporting across outlets is consistent on the parties named in the case, the forum where it is heard, and the central allegation concerning disclosure of private information. The reports do not provide further details of the information at the centre of the dispute or the specific legal remedies being sought at this stage.
