Outgoing Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett has repeated his criticism of Indigenous players who went public with racism allegations against the AFL club.
He's also welcomed a WorkSafe Victoria investigation into the Hawks, saying he was confident the body would be "very impressed" with how the club operated, and adding the allegations were historic.
In a speech at Saturday night's club best and fairest function, Kennett said it was "unfair" allegations were made public through last month's ABC report.
