Yep the club is ultimately responsible for employing him.
They knew his personal situation and still employed him.

Someone in the club obviously waited til today to say something publicly?

Was it KPMG who provided advice on a new CEO?

Current Board member Dorothy Hisgrove is national managing partner of people and inclusion at KPMG Australia.

Boys club!
Err girls club?

Yeah you can, just ask UK. I mean, it was our fault the China experiment ceased in the midst of a global pandemic.

In Feb 2022 -

GWS player Zreika, a practicing Muslim, sat out the league's Pride Round as she believed the rainbow-themed uniform did not represent her faith.

The head of the AFL's inclusion and social policy, Tanya Hosch, told the ABC's The W podcast that inclusion was a complicated matter.

"People of faith have rights as well," Hosch said.

"We say we're a game for everyone and here we've got a situation where we've got someone who feels they've got to make a decision on whether or not they'll play based on a uniform that they don't feel they should be representing in.

So, Andrew Thorburn was part of the panel that were selecting the new CEO, and ultimately selected himself.

Bit of Ron Fuller about that.

Why couldn't she play in a standard guernsey, for the amount of rainbowism on the rugby jersey, I couldn't see why they sat out too.

It's not as though they had to form a conga line naked while playing the Village People as a pre-game celebration.

Zreika was a practicing Muslim
Thorburn was the in charge of a organisation that is homophobic and anti abortion as well as other beliefs that belong in the Stone Age.
Some of the sermons from his ministry are quite sickening and this bloke is the leader and all goes through him.
As just a member of a group it’s often a a-La carte buffet where you can pick and choose but as the leader it’s a fixed menu where you don’t get those luxuries.
You simply can’t be a club who promotes the Purple bombers and has a number of lesbian of AFLW players and have this douchebag in charge of our club.

It's a pretty simple mistake really, I'm sure many of us have accepted a role without going through the fineprint and quitting the next day.

I wonder if he gets paid for that day? If he was in SA it would've been a public holiday and he would've been on double time and a half.

Luckily he was in Melbourne and the butcher was open.
