Robert Young Biography

Taylor Walker issues a public apology to North Adelaide player Robbie Young for his racist comment at a SANFL game. In a video released by the Crows, Walker is seen sitting alongside Young and choked up several times while delivering the apology.

"Thank you for accepting my apology, you've shown huge courage and support for me," Walker says to Young in the video.

"I want to apologise to you and your family, to the Adelaide official and his family (and) to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and their communities for the pain, hurt and disappointment that I've caused. What I said was racism and it's totally unacceptable. I've lost trust and respect from everyone and I know that, and I've got work to do."

"With a number of small forwards on our list, unfortunately the opportunity at the Saints for Robbie has come to an end."

Robert Young makes his AFL debut for St Kilda at the MCG with 8 disposals (6 kicks and 2 handballs), 2 marks, 4 tackles and 2 goals in a 41-point loss to Collingwood.
