New information has come to light about what’s really behind AFL Sydney Swan’s captain Kieren Jack’s family feud.
And it’s not pretty.
In 2014 Jack’s parents were said to be miffed when they were denied family travel privileges or tickets to the 2014 AFL grand final and blamed the situation on his girlfriend Charlotte Goodlet.
The private matter made its way into the national spotlight this week after Jack’s parents Donna and Garry took to social and mainstream media to air their grievances about their son and Channel Nine television producer Goodlet.

They claim to disapprove of his choice of girlfriend and say that their son now spends more time with his in-law family than his own.
“We have been trying to fix this and sort it out for more than 12 months,” Garry Jack told The Daily Telegraph earlier this week.
“We have been aware of the problem but is has fallen on deaf ears. They are your kids and they can do what they want but, as parents, it hurts. It hurts us as a family, it cuts to your heart, it really does.”

The The Daily Telegraph claims the real crux of the issue is simpler than that.
Having been denied club-funded flights and accommodation to one of their son's interstate games, the parents were said to be furious that as a partner of a player, Goodlet was still eligible for the privilege.

Go Charlotte!! All my best for your future. Xx
This is why I have nothing at all to do with my MIL and SIL. Life is *bliss* now compared to when I had to deal with them. They decided to hate me right from the beginning. I know that there is nothing I could have ever done to please them (except divorce their son/brother). They are miserable, jealous women that blame me for stealing their son. I can't begin to explain how ridiculous that is. The delusion truly doesn't get any thicker than theirs. Why do none of these people sit back and think 'hang on, maybe just maybe I'm the actual problem'.
The people who need to do this the most seem to do it the least.
