MELBOURNE , AUSTRALIA - OCTOBER 26: AFL player Heath Shaw of the GWS Giants and former AFL great Wayne Carey are seen during Cox Plate Day at Mooney Valley Racecourse on October 26, 2019 in Melbourne , Australia . The AFL has this afternoon intervened to prevent NSW Hall of Fame member Wayne Carey from being elevated to legend status .
in the phone call, Dillon expressed his competition’s concern about the induction due to his prior domestic violence allegations and assault convictions. The AFL held a crisis meeting almost instantly after being told of the body’s plan to elevate Carey’s status on Thursday, with swift action taken by Dillion and his colleagues.
“We didn’t think it was the right decision. I called Wayne Carey earlier this morning to inform him of this and he agreed that being made a Legend would take away from the event and the important focus on the national response to the issue of gender-based violence against women.
