The antithesis of healing: the AFL turns away from truth-telling again, ending Hawthorn investigation

The Indigenous-led ceremony was a deeply moving instance of community care, love and solidarity.

Key Points:

The Indigenous-led ceremony was a deeply moving instance of community care, love and solidarity.
Tuesday’s announcement by the AFL of the termination of the investigation into allegations of racism at Hawthorn was the antithesis of such healing.
The AFL has also hinted it may charge Hawthorn with bringing the game into disrepute over its handling of the internal report.

Sorry timing

It’s hard not to be cynical about the release of this news after the conclusion of the Sir Doug Nicholls “Indigenous round”, and Sorry Day.
If the allegations are true, it could be argued the Hawthorn officials who were involved thought they were acting in the “best interests” of the players.
How could the AFL not wish to find out the truth of the matter when the allegations concern such egregious conduct?
Outgoing AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan also claimed that the defendants had been “cleared” and the complainants “feel heard”.

(Not) listening to Indigenous voices

Yet, in electing to set up its own investigation into the allegations of racism at Hawthorn, the AFL was clearly going against the voices of key Indigenous women at the centre of these allegations.
The erasure of Indigenous women’s voices and experiences is also emblematic of life on this continent.
Indigenous women in Australia are eight times more likely to be murdered than non-Indigenous women, yet the violence they experience receives far less attention.

Truth-telling

What’s clearly needed is for the AFL to engage in a full process of truth-telling.
The AFL Players Association is the most recent group to note that the AFL’s investigation into Hawthorn was “not truly independent”.
Incoming AFL chief executive Andrew Dillon has proclaimed he is not part of a (white) boys club.

The AFL needs real cultural change. Can the new chief deliver it?

A long, competitive recruitment process to name a new Australian Football League chief executive has concluded with the appointment of an AFL insider.

Key Points:

A long, competitive recruitment process to name a new Australian Football League chief executive has concluded with the appointment of an AFL insider.
By its own admission, the AFL has chosen a safe pair of hands in Andrew Dillon.

The bold pick: a woman in the role

The AFL had a chance to name a woman to the role, with an excellent candidate in Kylie Watson-Wheeler.
The AFL continues to see double-digit growth in women’s grassroots football participation, in addition to sizeable commercial gains and future possibilities emanating from the AFL Women’s League.
Of the eight current serving AFL commissioners, two are also women (Helen Milroy and Gabrielle Trainor).
But only time will tell if we will see real change in the codes’ hiring decisions.

Sexual harassment on and off the field

Sports journalist Michael Warner’s 2021 book, The Boys Club: Power, Politics and the AFL, unearthed numerous egregious claims about the game’s treatment of female administrators.
As is often the case in male-dominated organisations, women’s voices have been quieted in the AFL through the use of payouts and nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) when they’ve made complaints of sexual harassment or bullying.
There are dangers for women on the field, as well.

Racism and homophobia need to be dealt with, too

Although he mentioned getting “the right outcome at the right time”, his statement lacked any mention of the deep personal costs and ongoing trauma for the people involved.
And last month, in a span of less than 24 hours, racial and homophobic abuse was directed at four separate AFL players.
Will his leadership be bold enough and his team diverse enough to put real action behind the promises?
