The players and families at the centre of the Hawthorn cultural safety review have released an open letter saying they were "betrayed" by the club and control of their lives was taken away from them.
The letter from former Hawks star Cyril Rioli and his wife Shannyn Ahsam-Rioli, ex-players Carl Peterson and Jermaine Miller-Lewis and Jermaine's partner Montanah, as well as former Indigenous advisor Leon Egan, was published late on Friday. It details the claims made by the families who prompted the review.
