Well handled by the AFC and AFL, the only way forward out of this is for some learnings and education to continue, but geez it must be gut wrenching.
Im not convinced its been well handled by the AFL, its meant to be confidential, They have no trouble keeping drug users names private so how does this get out?
There is a lot of collateral damage from this.
We didnt heed all the details, just the pinishment and what he was punished for. Just a statement saying Walker has been suspended for racial vilification, was absolutely no need to even make North Adel or Young aware that it stemmed from them. No need to tell anyone he was dobbed in by an Adel official, These people dont need the scrutiny
How does it possibly remain confidential? If tex missed 6 weeks and they lied about the reason you would be up in arms.
Yep and there is a fair chance the leak didn’t come from the AFL rather from someone within the Crows looking for 15 minutes of fame
Plus how would the indigenous playing group feel if they ‘covered’ and hid the truth for Tex.
