00:00Look, the comments or the behaviour demonstrated is just unacceptable to us and to our club,

00:09and it's got no place in our game or our community.

00:15Naz is a very proud First Nations man.

00:19His culture, his values, his heritage are things that should be celebrated and not disrespected.

00:26Like all First Nations people, Naz should have the right to work and live his life without this sort of abuse.

00:37He's good. I think he's in pretty good spirits.

00:40He was obviously really upset last night and made some comments back and wanted to highlight it

00:48because I think that's the first reaction.

00:51You just want to call out the behaviour, and good on him for doing so.

00:54And now we're following through the normal processes.

00:57We've been in touch with him today, putting all the support around him we can.

01:01So, yeah, he's in good shape.

01:04Yeah, it's hard to know in terms of who it may be.

01:08That's the unknown at the moment.

01:09So, I mean, of course, if they're a football guy, we wouldn't certainly want them at our games.

01:14I don't think they have a place in the AFL community, to be frank.

01:18So I think it should be harsh.

01:19That's with Naz at the moment to decide.

01:23It's his decision as to whether he wants to take it further, but it could be a potential outcome.

01:29The police have a lot more power to investigate and access information,

01:32and if they do, we'd hope they'd be able to bring a similar conclusion.
