All 18 AFL clubs have been warned they could be targeted over historical racism claims in a class action led by Phil Krakouer and including at least six other footballers who played between 1975 and 2022.
Although Adelaide, Fremantle, Port Adelaide, Gold Coast and GWS did not join the AFL until after the Krakouer brothers departed, Margalit has indicated to the AFL that more Indigenous players from the AFL’s more recent past could join the class action.
Four-time Essendon premiership coach Kevin Sheedy, who pioneered Dreamtime at the ’G, has been named in the action, along with Bombers and Blues premiership players.Margalit managing director Michel Margalit told the National Indigenous Times last September that it was time the AFL “properly acknowledged the trauma former players experienced and compensate them appropriately”.
An AFL spokesman on Thursday confirmed the racism class action had been expanded and that the competition would fight the claims.
