AFL: Alastair Clarkson is once more under the investigation of the AFL for the use of vile language, potentially aimed at umpires.
Two separate reports by Justice John Middleton and Gordon Legal suggested there was “no basis whatsoever” that a subculture of racism existed at Hawthorn from 2008-2015.Watch every game of every round this Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo.

The period just before Christmas, 2022, can also be revealed as a key period in the scandal when the accused - Alastair Clarkson, Chris Fagan and Jason Burt - were first given detailed statements from the First Nations complainants.The AFL in May last year ended its probe into allegations of historic racism at Hawthorn, with “no adverse findings” made against former Hawks coach Clarkson, ex-football boss Fagan and former welfare manager Jason Burt.
Clarkson, who faced some of the more severe claims, was granted time away from North Melbourne last year to look after his mental wellbeing amid the investigation. Fagan and Burt also took a leave of absence from their roles at the Lions and Caulfield Grammar respectively after the Binmada report was leaked to the media in September 2022.
The story erupted with an ABC Sport report of an external review of the Hawthorn Football Club, which found key figures at the Hawks — including Clarkson, Fagan and Burt — were responsible for the shocking mistreatment of Indigenous players.
