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.

On air on what?

Big story if true

SEN, found it.

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.

Looks like no one will be telling anything to "Loose Lips" Mifsud anytime soon, if ever again.

Irony - Eye, ronnie (noun) - See above.

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 offered his resignation and Andy D said no thanks.

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.

Did he make it up or was he told this by someone at the club?

I knew it "counselling"

Pity Rendal From SA did not get that option
