Reading this ABC report it is concerning such practices occurred and not so long ago. One has to wonder what else continues to occur.

Does not surprise those outside the afl bubble
Despite many many instances of rampant racism there are those that still defend the club bosses the unwritten one white parent rule etc.
Having a very compliant media & police force in the past just made it worse.
Looks like this is finally seeing the light of day .
Still I’d bet those that come forward will have a bad time ( the usual treatment for any whistleblower in the cult) .
The media will do a hatchet job on them .

Disgusting stuff. But no surprise to those intelligent folk who live outside the fumble bubble. Let's see how this plays out in the compliant Melbourne media.

And I'm sure Gilty will come out with all the platitudes and obfuscation as per fumblehouse crisis control.

Wow!!! I've just read through a number of reports on this story. This is truly barbaric behaviour. Here's some quotes:

"Young Indigenous Hawthorn players were separated from their partners and were pressured to terminate a pregnancy by key Hawks officials including then-senior coach Alastair Clarkson..."

" First Nations players has revealed shocking allegations involving multiple players, one of whom it is claimed had made several attempts on their own life in the aftermath."

"It also claims that the document reportedly includes allegations against former club figures including then Hawthorn senior coach Alastair Clarkson – who was recently appointed to the top job at North Melbourne – then football manager and now Brisbane senior coach Chris Fagan and Hawthorn player development manager Jason Burt."

"in some cases, coaches allegedly coerced at least two players to remove SIM cards from their phones and insert new ones in attempts to cut them off from their partners ...."

"“He told me to kill my unborn kid.” Farrrrrkkkkkk!!!! "He" was coach at the time Clarkson!!!

And it goes on and on!!! This happened just a few years ago. And this is the incredible reposnse from Hawthorn:

"Given the matters raised are confidential, the club will not provide any further comment at this time"

They're not gonna talk about it!!!! What a club. What a game. What a stinking cesspool this is.

Let's see how Gilty massages this during GF week. No doubt he's got the propaganda squad, the cover up squad and the MOU police squad going ballistic on this.

Sickening stuff!!!!

This gets worse. If that's at all possible. The report was first released by the ABC. Hawthorn have had it for 2 weeks and the AFL Integrity Unit also have it.

It's as clear as day Gilty and the coverup squad wanted this buried until after the GF. They wanted it hidden. They wanted to give themselves time to create a counter story of smoke and mirrors. Incredible. Here's an excerpt from the ABC story:

"Three families involved told ABC Sport about incidents in which club staff allegedly bullied and removed First Nations players from their homes and relocated them elsewhere, telling them to choose between their careers and their families."

This has gotta be the story of the century in Australian sport!!! Racism at it's rabid worst a few short years ago!!

My bet Terry is the usual cultists will
But but but look at RL
Look at RL
The big difference is we have never had a compliant media to cover up things .
Our dirty laundry gets aired for all to see
& havnt the southern tools had plenty of potshots at us .
Disgusting sport .
& I mite have to bump a few of the many previous threads about AFL racism to highlight the denial that the fumblers seem to have with any negative story .

Lol the unwritten one whitey parent rule looks tame compared to this .
Oh & look what happened to old mate who spilt the beans about it .

Well done to Fred for creating this thread. But where are the other fumblers to condemn this abhorrent behaviour? This silence is very very telling.

Here's a good take:

If the reports are accurate it is truely deplorable.

AFL is truly Australia's greatest shame. A disgusting, divisive, truly abominable code devised by a psychopath racist murderer whose blood stained legacy lives on via its modern day administrators and practioners. Anyone that supports this garbage game is guilty of perpetuating these injustices. They are all guilty.

Yep, it's a harsh take but at its core it is true. Irrefutably true!
