Fair point. No excuse then. I wasn't aware he was off the ground I don't get all the footy news in UAE. Was just trying to point out we can sometimes say things that don't define us.

Taylor walker /Crows ??

he went into Adelaide reserves huddle & said what he said to a player(s) & was overheard, he wasn't playing
Who are you & how do you know meHaven’t you ever got a bit worked up Taz?
All this nonsense about whether or not his apology is sufficient … sheesh.
If the AFL community is serious about eradicating racism, he should be banned for life and apology be damned.
Pete Rose, Hansie Cronje anyone?

club pushing him out.
He was denied access to the rooms after the North vs Crows game.
He want to be there for the farewell of a couple of players.
Club said no.
He went back to Broken Hill after the club suspended him. We know someone that works at the Crows and Tex has been "shattered".
If the presser is his mea culpa and also announcing his retirement it's the right decision. He "smiled" up big time.

What he said was terrible and inexcusable - think we all agree on that. But if he’s genuinely remorseful, he deserves a chance to redeem himself.
He’s been a captain and great soldier of the club. If he retires/is sacked, his reputation will stay ruined. It would be skulking away rather than really facing what he’s done. For his part, his career deserves better.
More importantly, the club needs him to be redeemed, or the shame and embarrassment will endure forever (I imagine his name is on his locker and honour boards). He’s been a cult figure for Crows kids. Redemption still gives them the lesson that racism is shameful, but shows that if you genuinely own your mistakes you can be forgiven. And of course, he could become a spokesman against racism - far more credible than a right-thinking cleanskin preaching yada yada.
He knows he’s devastated Eddie Betts. That’s almost enough punishment in itself.

It's 2021 and unless you come from planet Mars you can not claim ignorance, ever, on this issue. Especially when you've been through years and years of personal development as he has.
All the personal reflection, the shame, the sorrow - .... and if no-one else had heard?

Eddie been very good this year on Footy Classified - maybe because Sam Maclure is so horribly bad and nauseating on Mondays - and tonight to a man and woman they stuck it up Tex, especially Eddie standing up for Cotch. A breath of fresh air
