Jason Mifsud is on air now. The AFL needs to fire this bloke. Sorry title is not clear. But Jason Mifsud has admitted he gave Thomas the story about our handling of the indigenous players.

 

Mifsud needs to come clean on his source as with Matt Rendall.

I don't think the media will let this go, and they shouldn't. He is now hedging about the whole thing.
 

Whether or not the story Thomas told is true (and I believe that it's untrue) then Mifsud must get the sack.

It is not appropriate for a delicate matter of this nature to be handled in this way by an official of the AFL

The AFL's integrity depends on it taking swift and decisive action.

What is this ..

Underpants on head ..

It was great when footy was footy.

Whats the bet he is "educated" or "Counciled" on the error of what he said or has done.

Watch the double standards fly on this one.

Msfud began backing up the story and was quickly cut short by Andrew Demitriou who was quick to make it clear that sory was adsolutely not true. They have issued a 'warning' to Misfud. This story will blow up. No wonder Neeld was looking like his eyeballs were about to pop!

Surely Misfud must walk...

you were going great guns there Jack ......until you dropped the 'I' word :)

i thought what would be a good replacement word. 'Reputation'?, nah, 'Morality'?, nah. 'Ethics'? nah.

then I got it - 'revenue stream' or 'profits' or 'executive bonus scheme' would be better substitutes


Mifsud must stand down immediately to maintain "integrity", and he should come clean regarding his source.

The concensus from everyone but the AFL is he has to be sacked it seems. Surely Demetriou has no choice at this point given the way Misfud's earlier exploits have played out. The guy has to be sacked.

so who is it, there hinting that the person the rumour came from is 1 of our indiginous players is anyone else thinking that

Do not hold your breath WJ.

Counselling will be the order of the day

Everyone who gets off on making [censored] rumours will be absolutely storming to keyboards right now to start naming the supposed source.

That is not a big field

Mifsud must stand down immediately to maintain "integrity", and he should come clean regarding his source.

If you think about it logically, if it's been around a few weeks, going back through the timeline... it would be around the time of the Jurrah incident in Yuendumu.

Now, I know Jurrah can speak english and it would've improved exponentially since being in Melbourne, but I think it's very possible something has been lost in translation during discussions with Mifsud as part of his role, and this is the culmination of that.

No malicious intent, but some very damaging rumours have been spread.

My question is: why the hell has Grant Thomas been involved in this rumour-mongering?

THAT is why I think Mifsud should go.

I'm not saying it was Jurrah, but surely someone around that situation.

It's the right timing, the right club.

Maybe something Eddie overheard during his "interview"?

Spot on DC

Mifsud has issued an apology to Neeld. He has also received a warning from the AFL over his conduct and he will be counselled.

Didn't someone pick this a few minutes ago?

Thomas must have told Neeld it was an AFL employee...

Because we went straight to the AFL and said 'WTF?'

So Mifsud made it up? Maybe he using dramatic licence?

It's funny when a bloke throws a friend to the wolves to make a valid point about footy and racism, and then throws that all away by spinning falsehoods about the same concern.

Effing hilarious.

 

misfud offered his resignation andy D said no thanks

I knew it "counselling"

Pity Rendal From SA did not get that option

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
