Brisbane Lions coach Chris Fagan has voiced strong disapproval of a recent incident where confidential whiteboard notes detailing the strengths and weaknesses of Essendon Football Club players were leaked online. The notes, shared in a Facebook group for Essendon supporters, included critical remarks about players such as Zach Merrett and Kyle Langford, labeling them as 'selfish'. Fagan criticized the actions of the parent who leaked the information, expressing that it undermines the privacy of the team's operations. He stated, 'Somebody illegally took photos of information that was on a whiteboard and then decided to make a hero of themselves.'
