On Tuesday evening, Cale Hooker became the 29th player in Essendon history to play 200 games for the club.
Like all 200-game players, Hooker’s achievements and career highlights deserve to be celebrated.
But instead, much to the disappointment of the club, Cale was ridiculed by Fox Footy during the quarter-time break of the broadcast.
Fox Footy has formally apologised directly to Cale and to the club for the inappropriate coverage. A 200-game player, 2014 All Australian and 2015 Crichton medallist, he deserved better.
