Given The Prez has specifically mentioned this in her email, I reckon a good time to give this its own thread.
Suitably nuanced yet firm position - the club is acknowledging the case and making it clear that we back Phil and Jim.
Fundamentally, we're saying an Essendon board member is a racist who coached his players to racially abuse our players.
I wanted to mention Phil and Jim Krakouer. I won’t comment on the specifics of their claim or the Supreme Court case. What I will say is that anyone who is old enough to have been at games throughout that time – and I am – will remember that Jim and Phil endured a lot as they became champions of our club. Phil and Jim – we hear you, and we wrap our arms around you.
