I think we're a really professional game and we need to make sure that every element of that reflects it.
Yeah, I think ideally we'd have the reasons pretty shortly after.
I expect, I actually don't know this, but I know from my previous time at North Melbourne, quite often the AFL will be relatively flexible in the consideration of those decisions and the timelines for appeal.
I'd like to think that given there's a delay on the reasons that that would play out here.
Yeah, ideally we get the reasons quickly, but as long as it doesn't have a negative impact on the rights of the player, I think we can work with that.
Yeah, I haven't as yet, but I'll certainly reach out and have a conversation.
And I think...
It comes back to ultimately what we want, and I touched on it earlier, players and umpires are working together every week and they're not always going to agree.
And how do we create that environment where there's a really healthy respect?
And I expect that that's largely what we've got, but we just need to make sure that we aren't taking steps or putting things in place that potentially get in the way of that.
Yeah, you're right, Tom.
They're very different.
I think there's no doubt from our point of view, you know, we've been really clear that the game, we need to rid the game of homophobia.
It's as simple as that.
And we've made some commitments around equality, inclusion and safety in the most recent CBA.
We've really started to break through with some of that work with the AFL and establishing that committee in recent times.
We're completely committed to that.
You know, I just want that to be very clear.
But what we've seen again is a process that ultimately has caused harm all over the place.
I don't think we've got a process in place at the moment that's bespoke.
