Hawthorn are facing a significant financial settlement with four-time premiership coach Alastair Clarkson, while he and his former football boss Chris Fagan also want public apologies from the club over the impact of the cultural safety review on their professional and private lives.
However, the prospect of significant financial compensation and apologies was slammed by former president Jeff Kennett, who said: “I’m not going to be shamed into apologising and I have to say this is not a great start for the AFL administration. AFL general counsel Stephen Meade’s review has involved hundreds of emails between Hawthorn officials, directors, Egan and First Nations families.
Clarkson remains firm in his belief that North would have retained No. 1 draft pick Jason Horne-Francis had the racism scandal not broken. Clarkson also cancelled a series of scheduled lucrative public appearances in 2022 grand final week following the ABC report which followed the Hawthorn Egan investigation.Hawthorn president Andrew Gowers confirmed the club was preparing to make amends with Clarkson, Fagan and Burt. “That’s always been my intention,” he said.
But Gowers’ predecessor Kennett, stressing he now had no role at the club, said he was horrified at the prospect of financial compensation to Clarkson, Fagan and Burt saying the club had done nothing wrong and that any payments or apologies “would open the club up to further claims”. “We are involved in productive discussions with the AFL and we’ve got the Human Rights Commission matter still alive and there is a series of people who were involved with us who have faced some challenges on both sides. Some are legal, some are medical.
