Sheedy denies any racial comments towards them. But he did admit to one one the Krakouers at a Sportsmans Nigt(?) that he did instruct his players to racially verbalise the brothers to put them off their game.
It’s led by the Krakouer brothers but is open to up to 1000 others to join the class action. Includes any other victims who suffered from any on field abuse, including family members.
Im not sure whether that class action be succeed or not. Some legal eagles have doubts.
I know the Krakouer brothers were often racially abused back when they were playing. Typical tactic to get them off them game and react to players who abused them.
Gee they were magical to watch when in full flight.
But I’m glad some of those pricks are named and shamed.
Including Sheedy who always comes across as being one of the innovators and prominent advocates for indigenous players. Maybe he is all that. But behind closed doors and when a finals game is on the line, he sure wasn’t a cleanskin.
But maybe he learned as he grew older and wiser, and tried to do some penance for his previous actions.
I wouldn’t know of course.
