Hawthorn racism review

[bornadog]

Shaun Burgoyne:


“Very confronting”
“Involved in the review process”
“Had no knowledge of the incidents ever happening”
“If I knew I would have helped”.

Ahhh... woo up. Bit early to make calls like that, particularly about someone who isn't a chief protagonist.

Antagonist more like. But yes, big if.

[Dry Rot]

I've got no words.

Agreed. I am beyond words reading that.

Has anyone figured out who the three players were?

You also have to wonder if there were more affected. And whether there was some nasty stuff done to non-Indigenous players?

[Dry Rot]

Far from sharing his joy, Ian alleges that a group of coaches, including Alastair Clarkson and Chris Fagan, ushered him into an office, where he was urged to have the pregnancy terminated, "get rid" of his partner and move into the home of an assistant coach.

Interesting.

Group is bad.

Given they provided the years the review focused on and the age and cultural background of the players involved its not hard to work out but I'm not going to start that guessing game. They wanted their names kept private so I will respect that.

I just hope Bevo knew nothing about this. He hasn't been named, but the external review will dig deep.

If it's the player I'm thinking of, the timeline would have been around 2014 so he was there at the time. Doesn't mean he's involved though.

Bevo was off to the Saints before he got our gig. Who knows... perhaps he knew something and couldn't do anything so had always intended to leave? Perhaps he knew nothing?

I'm sure we all hope that he's not implicated, for him as a person, and cause that'd have to be it... no more coach.

He's not making any calls. He's saying if Bevo knew what was going on / was present he's gone and I 100% agree.

Considering Bevo was an assistant around that time it's not outside the realms of possibility.

It will find the light of day if he was involved in this.

That's it 1ED.

I've met Luke many times, spent 2016 GF night talking to him and celebrating for 20 mins whilst Easton gave us a group hug.

All that aside.

If he's involved in any way, there's no question in my mind he should be removed as our coach.

In any case, the Hawthorn review revealed three people and Bevo wasn't one of them. Also there at the time was Adam Simpson and maybe a few more coaches

That wasn't the Hawthorn review, that was the ABC story.

The review is being kept confidential.

From ABC article

The review document, handed to Hawthorn's senior management two weeks ago and now with the AFL integrity unit, will allege that club staff involved include four-time premiership coach Alastair Clarkson and former assistant Chris Fagan, now the coach of the Brisbane Lions.

From ABC article

If they have it they've breached confidence and will be sued id assume.

[jeemak]

I reckon if any of the other coaches involved were high profile or current senior coaches the story would have mentioned it.

You can almost bet if there was a hint of Bevo being involved it'd be top of mind for any editor to put into the ABC/ media report.
