A former Hawthorn staff member at the centre of the AFL's investigation of the alleged mistreatment of the club's First Nations players says he has "nothing to say sorry for" but admitted he and other coaches engaged in behaviour that "overstepped the mark" and made him feel "uncomfortable".
In an interview with The Age, former Hawthorn football club welfare manager Jason Burt — one of three men at the centre of allegations made in the Hawthorn review — said he had would not be apologising to former players and their partners but admitted he regretted an incident in which he accompanied coaches Alastair Clarkson and Chris Fagan to the home of 'Zac' and 'Kylie', a First Nations player and his pregnant fiance.
