The Essendon Football Club wish to applaud former AFL player Mitch Brown for the courage and bravery he showed this week.
“Having known Mitch since his early days at West Coast, I’m very proud of the strength and leadership he has shown. What he’s done wasn’t easy, but real change rarely is,” Essendon CEO Craig Vozzo said.
“As a club, we’re committed to continuing to take action to genuinely operate as an inclusive organisation where every individual can be their authentic self without fear.”
Essendon shares a close and longstanding connection with LGBTQIA+ supporter group, the Purple Bombers.
The group continues to play a significant role in helping ensure that all supporters, regardless of sexuality or gender identity, feel safe and welcomed at the football.
