00:00There's deep disappointment within the club, what has occurred, and we know that many people are hurting, and we are
00:08providing support to our players, to their partners, to if they think what we can.
00:14Our players, Riley Bice, Nick Lakey, Isaac Keeney, James Jordan and Shabba Warner, will now not be considered for selection
00:22for the remainder of the 2026 AFL season, and that's including the final series.
00:27So we've been working very closely with the five players involved, with the AFL who are supportive of this approach,
00:35and so too we've been chatting a lot at length with the AFL Players Association.
00:39We arrived at this sanction after our own internal inquiries with the five players and other parties.
00:45We're deeply embarrassed and ashamed that our board choices, or the board choices of five of our players, and the
00:53impact that's had on the women involved and also the club.
00:56Our supporters and so many other people that Andrew's talked about, but as I've said, it's important to understand that
01:01this sanction is only as it relates to the players' behaviours and the standards that we accept, and we're expecting
01:08of them post-game.
01:09We'll be back to the Q&A to the F&O on the F&O on the F&O on
01:13the F&O on the F&O on top right in the F&O on the F&O.
