Jack Graham used a highly offensive homophobic slur against a GWS Giants opponent, which demeans and denigrates persons regardless of their sexuality.
Graham has received a four-match sanction, with the AFL taking into account Graham's self-reporting of the incident, along with his private apology and contrition.
I know such language has no place in our community or our game. I have offered my unreserved apology to the Giants player and Greater Western Sydney.
Jack understands the harmful effects comments like these can have, and we support him in his path towards better understanding and behaviour.
