Is it fair to say that an independent enquiry into conduct that amounts to human rights abuses at all #AFL clubs should be convened? Itβd be naive to think Hawthorn is stand alone in this.

If at any stage you need to stop reading this story, please do. If you continue through ask yourself - how does this happen? Who allows it happen? Who can stop it? #Hawthorn #AFL #racism review #indigenous #playerwelfare.

So basically Jeff Kennett runs the Hawthorn FC exactly like the LNP. Full of hate, division and utter disdain for minorities.

This is a horrifying and incredibly troubling story.
Well done to β¦β© in bringing it to light. I donβt think thereβs a football journalist in the country doing more important work. #AFL

For the people calling for Chris Fagan to be sacked, please remember that he has not had the chance to speak yet. Letβs at least try to avoid making judgements before that. Iβm not saying he is guilty/ not guilty of the accusations. But letβs hear from the man first! #AFL

Why did Hawthorn not reveal the findings 2 weeks ago when they received it and kept it quiet until it was revealed by the abc today? #AFL

TW: Racism, trauma, suicide, pregnancy loss.
Hawthorn faces grave allegations by First Nations players & their families.
I plead with everyone who reads this to respect the anonymity that protects the people in this distressing story from serious harm.

#PeterHelliar and #WaleedAly are the wrong people to be talking about the #HawthornFC racism scandal. Remember when they gave #HeritierLumumba crap and basically said he was lying about his experience with Collingwood. #AFL #TheProjectTV
