Swan Riak Andrew cops five-match ban for homophobic slur



Andrew’s slur came as Sydney prepare to hold their annual celebration of LGBTIQA+ communities when they host Essendon at the SCG on August 2.

The 20-year-old was taken with pick No.55 in last year’s draft and is yet to make his AFL debut.

“It is important that we continue to make clear that homophobia or homophobic language has no place in our game at any level or in the wider community for that matter,” AFL general counsel Stephen Meade said.

“It is disappointing to be dealing with another incident and while we will always examine the individual circumstances, the clear message is that this language is not acceptable in any workplace and that includes on the field of play.”

Earlier this month, West Coast midfielder Jack Graham was found guilty of conduct unbecoming and suspended for four matches for using a homophobic slur during his side’s loss to GWS.
