AFL Employee leaked info about indigenous players

[dee-luded 2,959]

Channell tens roger oldrdge said "the original source was a senior indigenous player at melbourne who lied "

Hmmn????

[El Gordo 13]

What gets me is, in neither case did Mifsud confront the alleged perpetrator directly. Chose to back door both. Then he expects to be able to conduct a "private" conversation with Thomas while not extending the same courtesy to Rendell. What a weasel.

[east gippsland demon 7]

Hmmn????

They were his exact words in his live cross to steve quartermain .

[beelzebub 23,350]

So is that Mifsud...or Misfired ??

[DemonWA 3,933]

wonder if Aaron will be omitted on form alone this week?

Exactly!

If this guy doesn't have the 'Courage of his Convictions', to front face to face with the people he's trying to destroy, then he can't be trusted to responsibly handle his position.

And shows a lacking character for such a power position.

Thomas is also the problem. What sort of journalist doesn't check out what he has been told second-hand by looking for some confirmation before publishing? Regardless of who 'lied', or whether Mifsud 'leaked', it is Thomas who should be sued. He published it. It is no defence in a libel case to say 'but I was told it was true by someone who was told by someone who lied'.

[Tassie Devil 28]

Mifsud claiming his source lied! Name the source then resign - who cares if it's not accepted.

[Gorgoroth 12,947]

If a Melbourne player said those things then [censored] them off, let them rot at Casey. Don't even let them train with the main group or at AAMI park

What facts do you have that make this a fair piece of speculation?

[beelzebub 23,350]

On the contrary, as a club we will do ourselves no favours by burying our heads in the sand on this issue.

I think Neeld ( MFC ) have done the right thing and called all to task.. Next the club needs to ask for 'something' more than an apology... possibly a head on a platter, that will do , for now !!

We wont be kicking practice anymore

[dee-luded 2,959]

Who was that east gippy, I didn't see the News. Was that Neelds response?

This needs to be investigated @ Melbourne, because these types of inhouse/outhouse incidents are not what the club should be built on. they need cleaning up and a good round table honesty session with the leadership group asap, to sort this Cancer from spreading.

Or I'm not a Jimma friend... Guts, "Whatever it Takes".

[Biffen 12,943]

Misfed information again trying to slander people . What is the guys problem? Rendell may have made an off colour remark but Misfed is a little [censored] for repeating it a month later .Now this? Get a life mate .I dont agree wtih racist comments or actions but sneaky ,bitchy behaviour like his just as bad .Sack him now .

[Biffen 12,943]

wonder if Aaron will be omitted on form alone this week?

Or as a group

[Biffen 12,943]

Exactly!

Yes . A rat and a liar .I cant stand that sort of person .He should be in Canberra where he belongs .

[Robbie57 2,020]

None, i just thought id stur the pot

At least you have admitted it.

I dont see why we as supporters would do the same its not stirring the pot its slurring our own players without any basis.

That is what Thomas did and in my view its unacceptable.

Mifsud and Thomas have come out looking like total tools. How can one beleive what they say without evidence or a "confession"?

Let's give our "senior indigenous player" at least the benefit of any doubt before condemning him on the basis of rumor and innuendo, even if part of it came from that bastion of integrity, the AFL.

I agree, but as I mentioned above only if there is proof or a confession. Not on the basis of a big knobber.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

I am sure Mifsud and Demetriou have made Neeld and the MFC aware where the rumour started now. So let's just sit back and see what action the MFC takes. If it is someone within the MFC I would expect that action to the harsh and swift.

[monoccular 17,426]

AFL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OFFICER: what sort of BS position is that? Presumably supposed to engender harmony - wow, he has done a great job so far!

Vlad is as big a tool and fool as Misfed Misled Mifsud for not having the guts to sack him.........and has the gall to carry on and on about integrity!!

[dl4e 5,851]

Gentlemen ... we have a rat in our ranks. Probably more than one.

This is not good.

Simple. Find the rat and then cut off it's head. A brutal full stop must be put through this sort of nonsense.

[Range Rover 1,935]

If Demetriou won't sack Mifsud then he must be sacked himself.

Worse is that we likely have a player or players, very likely one or more of the indigenous boys, who is (are) prepared to falsely slur the club because of some perceived gripe. After ALL Jimmy Stynes, Schwab and the rest of them have done for him (them).

Treason of the highest order. Find out who it or they were and chuck 'em out of the club now.

If a Melbourne player has made this up he should be sacked.

If Mifsud has made this up then he should be sacked.

The story must have been created by someone, find out exactly who it was.

[jnrmac 20,059]

This is the problem when you have an AFL indigenous office or whatever he is called. They look for something to do to keep them in a job. And pretty soon it gets murky.

Reminds me of the climate change 'scientists' like Tim Flannery who are paid by the Govt - whoa, guess what? He found out the world is going to fry us all........

And those University researchers in the UK who get 17million pounds a year to research climate! So what if they changed a few emails and alter data to come up with their bodgy conclusions.....

[sue 9,102]

....

Treason of the highest order. Find out who it or they were and chuck 'em out of the club now.

Hang on a minute. It is quite possible that the 'rat' told him something which was misinterpreted. For example, maybe Neeld spoke to all the indigenous guys about Jurrah's situation, possibly at their request, and Mifsud misunderstood and 'leaked' what he did. At this stage, who knows, so please let's all calm down.
