    1. Football Australia invests heavily in building the behavioral standards and expectations of all involved with our game, especially for all our national team players, where leadership comes with added responsibilities on and off the field.

    1. I think it has been a rocky road for Sam and her partner. The more we find out about that incident, the more you can understand why they've acted the way that they have.

    1. Sam has been a key figure in Australian football for many years, and we recognize the significant pressures that this matter has brought to Sam, Kristie, her family, and everyone involved, including the impact it's had on the game.

    1. I'm looking you in the eyes, I'm looking you in the eyes, you guys are fucking stupid.
    2. You're sick. You're honestly sick. You're literally a white privileged person. You're literally a white privileged man.
    3. I believed it was him using his power and privilege over me because he was accusing me of being something I'm not … I was trying to express that due to the power and privilege they (the police) had, they would never have to understand what we had just gone through, and the fear we were having for our lives.
    4. Following today's not guilty verdict, I can finally put this challenging period behind me.
