I would guess the AFC will dish out their own penalty but they did the correct thing in reporting it to the AFL.

PUBLIC STATEMENT OF THE PARTIES PURSUANT TO
THE PEEK RULE (RULE 35) OF THE AFL RULES
An incident occurred at a SANFL match on July 17, 2021, at Prospect Oval between the
Adelaide Football Club and the North Adelaide Football Club. Taylor Walker of the Adelaide
Crows, who was not playing in the match, made a racist comment regarding North Adelaide
player, Robbie Young, to an Adelaide Crows teammate who was playing.
An Adelaide Crows official overheard the comment and reported the incident to the club who
reported it to the AFL. The incident was then investigated by the AFL Integrity Unit under
the Peek Rule (Rule 35 of the AFL Rules). This is a confidential process until completed.
A complaint was laid under the AFL Rules which alleged that Taylor Walker had engaged in
prohibited conduct.
Under the Peek Rule, which relates to discrimination and racial and religious vilification, any
such complaint is to be conciliated.
On 5 August 2021 that conciliation was held in Adelaide.
The conciliation involved Taylor Walker, Robbie Young, the Adelaide Crows official and the
AFL.
The conciliation was successful. Rule 35.7 provides:
Where a complaint is resolved by conciliation, the only public statement that shall be
made concerning the complaint and its resolution shall be that agreed upon by the
parties.
This is that statement.
During the conciliation, Taylor Walker apologised to Robbie Young and the official for his
conduct. Both accepted the apology. Taylor Walker expressed his sincere remorse for his
comments and expressed his commitment to being an active participant in addressing racism
within the game, and society. Taylor Walker has made the following comments:
“There is no excuse or justification for the words I said. They are unacceptable and I take full
accountability for that. I am deeply ashamed. I did not intend to cause harm, but I know and
understand that I have caused deep hurt to the official who reported the matter and to Robbie
Young, to both of their families and to the wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
community. I apologise to all of them and to the Adelaide and North Adelaide Football
Clubs.
I ask that you respect the wish of the official who reported this matter not to be identified.
Today’s process has led to a deeper understanding of the hurt that I have caused, and I am
embarrassed, ashamed and remorseful.

The official who reported this showed courage and leadership in calling out what I said, and
I am determined to do what I can to emulate his actions.
I want to be an active participant in addressing racism in our game and the wider
community. This starts by educating myself so I can influence others and make a positive
difference moving forward.
I know I need to back up my apology with action, and this is my commitment.”
AFL Executive General Manager Inclusion and Social Policy Tanya Hosch, who attended the
conciliation on behalf of the AFL, thanked all parties for their cooperation throughout the
conciliation process and reinforced that racism, regardless of where it occurs has no place in
football or the community. Ms Hosch additionally made the following comments:
“Racist actions and behaviours are inexcusable.
“The AFL strongly condemns the racial vilification of our football community including our
players, staff, and their families, across all levels of our game.
“I would like to acknowledge everyone involved in today’s conciliation process, especially
the Adelaide official and Mr Young for calling out the behaviour and/or taking a stand
against racism by their involvement in this process.
“I have no doubt Mr Walker is remorseful, understands that his comments can trigger
trauma and seriously impact the mental health of the individuals, families and communities
involved and he has accepted his sanctions.”
Through the conciliation, the parties have agreed the complaint can be resolved in the
following manner:
1. Taylor Walker will not play in the Adelaide Crows’ remaining 3 matches of the 2021
AFL Season and will not play in the first 3 games of the 2022 AFL Season;
2. Taylor Walker will make a donation in the sum of $20,000 to an Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander Program in South Australia (as approved by the AFL acting reasonably and
within five (5) days of details being provided to AFL by Taylor Walker, failing which it
will be deemed to be approved);
3. Taylor Walker will undertake an education program. The education program requires
AFL approval, acting reasonably, within 5 days of details being provided to AFL by
Taylor Walker, failing which it will be deemed to be approved if it comprises:
a. Engagement and volunteering time in mentoring in appropriate community
programs to learn through direct experience as directed by Indigenous programs
Manager of the Adelaide Football Club;
b. Facilitated by the Indigenous Programs Manager, AFC engage with interpersonal
community engagement to listen to and understand Aboriginal stories, truths and
perspectives;
c. Supported self-reflection to learn from mistakes and understand these mistakes;
and
d. Provision of educational materials readily available that explain the history,
stories and experiences of First Australians and other people of colour;
4. By 23 August 2021, Taylor Walker will privately address players and staff of the
Adelaide Football Club to apologise in relation to his prohibited conduct; and
5. By 23 August 2021, Taylor Walker will privately address players of the North Adelaide
Football Club to apologise in relation to his prohibited conduct
PAFC. Forever.

So no ongoing education, just a bit of a donation to fix everything.

6 weeks pfft. Especially when it probably favours the crows for the last 3 games this year, they can lose a few more games and get better draft pick whilst Tex takes some time off and is raring to go for pre season when the young guys come back.

Doesn't go to Prospect Oval in 2014 and labels North Adelaide supporters a disgrace (when Crows members threw their memberships at Crows players).
Goes to Prospect Oval in 2021 as a Crows supporter and racially vilifies an opposition player.
Good bloke.

Glad he had been brought to account. Absolutely no tolerance for racism.

Stiff punishment which he deserves 100%

No favour as such but hardly a harsh penalty by the AFL

I don’t think the Crows have done anything wrong but there barely hurt by the AFLs suspension

What it proves is AFL is all talk when it comes to stop racism and like usual us average plebs are held at much higher standard than their biggest asset the players

"We have to hold Taylor Walker and players like him, to a higher account than people who make these comments on social media. He has been sitting in lecture theaters for 15 years listening to how unacceptable this, and he still went out and said it."

- Kane Cornes

He's 100% right.

So blame the school not the student? right...

This is 100% on Tex. Like someone said, they sit through educational programs every year on this...and he failed.

The official must be congratulated, he was in an incredibly difficult situation with a club legend at the centre of this and he did the right thing, he did what we should all do and call it out.

My understanding is that it was a top up player that also complained
