AFL: Brisbane Lions coach Chris Fagan spoke to the media following their Round 17 victory over the Adelaide Crows.
Brisbane has acted swiftly to the racist comments directed at Adelaide Crows star Izak Rankine by cancelling the club membership of the Lions fan responsible for the derogatory remarks on social media.
