Carl Dilena

Yeah, thanks, Gerard.

Great to have a chat.

Last night, I think just before Caro was going to air with it.

I think at least she'd done the courtesy and called Ross and given him a heads up and

gave him a chance to give his version of events, uh, which was good, but yeah, no, I had no line of sight of it before then.

Well, I don't think the, you know, the good thing and seeing the way it all panned out was, you know, it was a pretty innocent oversight by, by Ross and not meeting any, um, any harm.

And,

But it shows that he's running a pretty safe environment with our First Nations boys where they were comfortable to raise it with him and discuss it and just sort it out harmoniously.

So I think they just sorted it out between themselves like any mishap.

And it was a positive outcome.

So I don't think, even though Ross said he was very emotional about it because the last thing he wants to do is upset

our First Nations players, who he's very close with, it's one of those things, you know, a matter in the workplace that got resolved and didn't need to be elevated beyond that.

Well, I think if it wasn't resolved, yes.

But, you know, there's a lot of things that go on in a workplace and people have disagreements, but they'll sort them out.

And so not everything, you know, raises to the surface.

Uh, not as yet.

I was speaking more with Lenny Hayes, our head of football about it.

Um, um, and he's, he's across all of that.

So, um, I think, um, uh, I think everyone's pretty comfortable with where it's landed.

Um, the players obviously love Ross and I think came out in support of him, um,
