Hawthorn Football Club says it would be extremely disappointed if the AFL sanctions the club over its handling of a report into its treatment of First Nations players. The AFL announced its independent investigation into the allegations has now concluded, making no findings against former coach Alastair Clarkson and two other former staff. But the AFL didn't rule out bringing charges against the club itself, after elements of the club's review were leaked to the media.
