And I think that adversarial approach hasn't served the purposes of anyone in this process.

I don't think it served the purposes of the LGBTIQA plus community.

I don't think it served the purposes of Lance.

And that's ultimately what we're focused on moving forward.

I don't necessarily have a strong view on what the sanction should be.

I think what we've got to do is have a process that brings in the views of the communities we're talking about that are impacted and get them to have a say in how we ultimately landed an outcome.

And, you know, there was some evidence given as part of –

Lance's hearing last week by Hayley Conway from Pride Cup.

And I think it was really apt and kind of got to the heart of the issue is that sanctioning and penalty can't be their only response.

You know, it has a role to play, but at the moment it's kind of being seen as the solution and it's not.

The solution has to start much earlier.

That's work that we're really deeply committed to.

We're looking forward to working closely with the AFL to develop that.

I think what we've seen here is another unfortunate example where

this work needs to be done and we need to do it quickly.

Any significant time out of the game presents a challenge for players, and we say that all the time, whether that be suspension injury or otherwise.

St Kilda have provided great support to Lance, and I think that needs to be acknowledged.

That gives me a lot of confidence that when he's ready, he'll come back to that football club, he'll have a lot of support around him, and that'll give him the best chance to move through this incident successfully.

out the other side and, you know, and hopefully return to footy.

I think we've got a bit of work to do and we've talked about a lot this morning.
