Brisbane Lions chairman Andrew Wellington has thrown his support behind senior coach Chris Fagan, who is preparing to be a part of an investigation into allegations of racism at Hawthorn.
Fagan and former Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson were named in external review instigated by Hawthorn into the treatment of First Nations players at the club, which is understood to detail allegations by several former players that they were pressured by the club to separate themselves from partners and families.
