Well, speaking entirely hypothetically, Cyril probably wouldn't be the first person who wanted to slap Kennett, I guess.

Well well, recall last year when that DO BETTER report came out, and all the shit that our Club copped, for being racist, endless crap by the media, other fans, radio, talkback, because we were the only club that had the guts to do that report, that other clubs were supposed to do, an none did, they just let us cop all the flak. NOW we fiind out that old Kennett, cos of a pathetic racist snide remark, drove Cyril out of Hawthorn BUT Rioli said that was the last straw and he had allegedly copped racist comments for a long time at Hawks, by players too. Oh but it was all bout us, and Harry O, yet here is the Hawks, who plainly have racist issues, but they up to now, got clean away with it. And lets not forget Tex Walkers racist omments, at the Crows. But it was all bout us, and its plain that we were far , far from the only cllub with this sort of issue. Unreal.

^ Well, to be fair, our club kicked the own goal, there. If you want to get your club hung out to dry for being a bunch of racists, what better way to achieve that than to pay people to write a report on all the racist things you've done - and then publish it widely and give Robbo and the rest autographed copies?

^ Werent we basically forced into doing it, by all the stuff floating around about Harry O, and Eddie and Goodes, it all came to a head, i seem to recall, but it went back decades, when racism was rife in football, went back too far. Damned if u do, and damned if u dont.

Interesting phrase: "the hurt he feels". Not, eg, "the hurt I have caused him and his wife". There's something about having a politician run your football club, isn't there?
