News Hawthorn Racism Scandal

[PatientMental]

This has a chance of opening up investigations other 16 remaining clubs who haven't had someone publicity accuse their president and head coach of racist shit.

Luke Hodge doing the rounds on SEN about how he didn’t know anything about it and he never experienced anything like it with his young family.

Why do you think that might be, Luke?

Just like Ted and Sloane at Crows. Nothing to see here.

That is one harrowing read. I knew Clarko was a cut throat arseh*le, but didn’t realise he was a racist arseh*le. Feel sorry for the families involved.

Don’t see how Clarko survives this. His time in AFL football should be done.

And yet he continually managed to poach indigenous players for his club.

You'd reckon every footy club would have incidents of racism occuring every year, unfortunately. They are a 'broad church'.

It's what organisations accept and / or walk by that is controllable. That's what stinks about the way Chad indicated the PAFC had handled the social media incident.

There's a fairly big difference between 'maybe just ignore it?' and 'tell your partner to terminate the pregnancy then dump her by friday, also come out more with the boys whats wrong with you wanting to be home'

I'd say "lol norf" but they are now just another victim of what appears to be a manipulative monster. There is no way ABC print that unless it was true.

 

[Grave Danger]

Trying times for The Boys' Club - one of their own, Andrew Newbold, who was president of Hawthorn for some of the time that these allegations took place, now (for now?) sits on the AFL Commission.

Tex has asked to be traded to North.

Coaches at Hawthorn over that time...

Clarko
Fagan
Hardwick
Ratten
Simpson
Bevo
Mitchell

Add in senior players at the Hawks and indigenous players at both North and Brisbane and the fall out from this could be huge.

The same AFL that is sponsored by gambling and cryptocurrency companies (basically the same thing) and where a player suspended for racism can still poll his club's most votes in the league's "best and fairest"?

Won't hold my breath waiting for action and meaningful change.

PS any change Karl changes his mind? Would be all for keeping him.

 

[Willsy10]

This makes the crows camp seem like fun. These allegations are off the charts.

I'm definitely happy that we didn't pursue Clarko now, North wouldn't be liking this one bit, i feel for them.

I hope this doesn't give Kochie any reason to be smug about his decision to back Kenny in though, that's the last thing we need.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Haven't fully read the details but why is Fagan in trouble?

Wasn't he an assistant?

 

[Football Smith]

Hopefully Clarko gets sacked from Norf and then they go after Hinkley

Sure one is certainly worse. But both are shit and inconsistent with the outward virtue signalling from the clubs and comp as a whole.

He can go to St. Kilda if he changes his mind.

read the full details

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Fire those honky campaigners now

 

[edgie]

No, head of football department I think, also present at some of these events

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

JHF will leave that campaigner asap

 

[Capital Power]

For those new to the story, it's a very harrowing read. If it were my club I think I'd be broken.

It puts things in perspective doesn't it.

No matter how frustrated we all our with Ken's lack of ruthless drive to win, we can agree that we don't want it if that's the cost.

It also help explain why clubs now think that taglines like.

"Whatever it takes" and
"We exist to win premierships"

need qualification.

Players like Rankine or Amon choosing to go to clubs with recent controversies to do with handling of issues apparently important to them is too, but not many people like to comment on that.
