Whateley · AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26) · 15 Apr 2026 podcast

The game in the 90s found a way to deal with racism on field.

between players.

It established a really deeply considered, consultative, engaging process that made sure that those people affected, the players affected, but also more broadly the communities that might be affected by the allocations or the language used, would be heard as part of the process.

And I think that's something that we're really keen to see adopted here.

I think there's an opportunity for us to enhance the way we navigate

these really challenging situations.

Lance clearly, you know, he's maintained his innocence.

There's obviously contrary evidence to that.

However, look, it's disappointing that his perspective hasn't been adopted by the tribunal.

However, it's actually more about how we're addressing holistically these challenges as opposed to just getting to the end and the disciplining in

Yeah, I haven't spoken directly.

I've reached out to Lance and I know the team's had some correspondence with him previously.

We've been talking a lot to the club and people around him.

My understanding is he's –

whether devastated is too strong a word, but like he's deeply impacted obviously by this outcome.

Um, and, and given he's, um, he's gone, gone back to WA to spend some time with family.

I haven't been able to have a chat to him yet.

Um, but, um, yeah, so I think we've got an adversarial approach and it's, I think the tribunal in, um, in its decisions last night identified that when you've got, um,

two versions of events.

It's not a great place to start from when dealing with really challenging issues that the game is facing, whether that be homophobia or racism or otherwise.
