28 Apr 2026
What are the expected changes to the draft bidding system?
This was Ross Lyon as he arrived at Moorabbin a short time ago.
Do you feel like it's resolved from your perspective? Well, I'm really happy that it was an accurate story and where culture is really important and behaviour is really important and I made an error unintentionally. resolved it with my players and I'm thankful for their support. What you said, was it casual racism do you think now you look back at it?
As I said, it's been resolved, dealt with, I'm thankful for my players support and as a leader of the club it's important that you get it right every time. What did you learn from it do you think? What I learned is we're all learning as good as our next moment and it's good to be held to account and for everyone in the AFL industry we need to stay vigilant. It's not a bad thing.
Ross Lyon there. Sam Edmonds here for Alex Scott and staff to sell your livestock or sell your home.
Hello, Sam. Hello, Gerard. Unintentional error. We need to stay vigilant. We're only as good as our next moment. So the story from Caroline Wilson on the agenda set us last night. And yeah, I don't know what you think about this. I feel like...
Since the comment was made, it's been, by and large, I think handled very well by the players, by Ross Lyon himself, who you just heard there and provided the statement last night, and largely by the media and Channel 7 last night as well.
So I know it's been called a membership day here on SEN and Carl Delaney is going to join you shortly, but I think they've handled it as well as they possibly could have after the fact. Do you agree with that?
Yes. Yep. And it is player-led, as we have learnt, that this is led by the Indigenous players in this instance, who are courageous enough to confront their coach with it, which is not an easy thing to do. That shouldn't be taken lightly.
No, and this is Bradley Hill specifically on behalf of Naziah, Liam Ryan, Liam Henry, Lance Collard, Isaac Keeler and Marcus Windhager. And when Ross Lyon offered to reconsider his position, they said, no, coach, don't be ridiculous. We just needed to speak to you about this.
