Re: Hawthorn racism review
200 years of European occupation and we are still tearing First Nation people apart. I'm speechless.
Re: Hawthorn racism review
Horrific article. Incredibly brave of those poor families to share their stories, even though it won't bring back the children and moments that were lost.
It amazes me that in the midst of this Hawthorn were still seen as an industry frontrunner for indigenous players.

If true that usurps the Essendon drugs scandal.
Those poor families. I had tears in my eyes reading Ian’s and Amy’s story.
Fagan and Clarkson if guilty are done.
Re: Hawthorn racism review
Horrific.
Did they forget that the players were actually human beings?

Absolutely and utterly disgusting. Who the hell do these people think they are treating people like this.

Huge ramifications for both North and Brisbane now. By far not the biggest victims but both are in a very awkward position going forward.

Was Bevo there during this period?
Re: Hawthorn racism review
It does beg the question - did Bevo know?

It's unbelievable that things like this can still happen. Players like Impey and Wingard apparently went there because of the indigenous culture and they must be having a rethink now.

2012 to 2014, but he is not named as one of the coaches involved.

They definitely did, I got it straight from a former Port player that was close to both.

Listening to Luke Hodge on the radio just now, he says he didn't know.

It really does. I hope like hell he didn’t.
Considering this is an internal review (done properly by an external group) the findings carry a lot more weight to me.
