AFL Employee leaked info about indigenous players


BarrassHarrass

Recommended Posts

The source was a player from within our club. The problem came from within our club & it just so happened that there was no confidentiality between Mifsud & that player as Mifsud then went & blabbed to Grant Thomas.

Given the comment alleges racism from a Club official, what the hell is Mifsud blabbing to the media about?? Who knows its an actual problem and actually true???

Of course it should have been confidential and properly addressed behind closed doors with the Club, the player and the AFL.

Some people are so Naive!

Are you referring personally

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

Mifsud has exercised appalling judgement that has humilated and defamed a senior MFC official and breach his confidence of the player who told (regardless of whether its correct or not). He must have had a Ricky Nixon moment if he believed it was appropriate to pass information like that to the media. Its an absolute stinker. This bloke Mifsud is a snake

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.

Very sensible Sue. There have been too many posts that rival Mifsud's lack of judgement. A few need to chill and put down the torches.

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.

Do you have any evidence this is the case?

If not (and I have no doubt you have absolutely none), why slur our own players especially the indigenous players?

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

OK speculation/conspiracy time;

Thomas knew that Rendell was unfairly maligned and sacked based on some allegations by Mifsud which were not entirely true.

He knows that this guy is spreading further untrue or not quite true rumours and decides to go and put them into print to bring the issue to a head and somewhat vindicate Rendell. He kills two birds with one stone by being able to have a crack at Neeld who for whatever reason he seems to have an issue with as shown in the rest of his column. Neeld and MFC are a particularly easy target after the weekend so he picks his target and lets loose.

EDIT: on further reading it seems Thomas and Mifsud have a relationship going back to St. Kilda days (along with Rendell) so it looks like Thomas really is just an idiot.

" which Mifsud then relayed to Thomas - with whom he worked at St Kilda as an assistant coach - in what he thought was a private conversation about the recent Matt Rendell case."

Not only was he leaking info about Neeld at this meeting, he was STILL leaking about the Rendell case

I don't see how any Club official could work openly and confidentially with this guy in the future

And Vlad knocks back his resignation

Believe what you want to believe on this one Robbie. There was no 'evidence' about Scully leaving either.

Channell ten reporting that the the source was a senior indigenous player at melbourne . The whole thing is another distraction we dont need . Our bloody season is off the rails all ready .

LOL how many senior indigenous players do we have? Pretty short list.

Robbie don't get me started on this why single anybody or race out they are all MFC footballers no matter colour or creed, singling people out or treating races or cultures differently is in fact racism.

Everything Neeld has done since he walked through the door and the way he has gone about everything has impressed me no end. It will take time but he is exactly what we need. Time for everyone at the club from players to footy department & supporters get behind this guy.

Furthermore in regard to the untruths spoken of Neeldy by Mifsud & Thomas take it all the way & if there is a rat at the club banishing them to Casey is not enough ban them from the club all together. Having said that it is a big IF as I would not put it beyond the realms of Mifsud twisiting what was originally said to him!

I can't believe the number of people who think the worst at a drop of a hat. The above is an example - why assume the ex got true info? Is there any evidence it was true? No. Even Mifsud says he was lied to by his source. Good grief!

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.....

You try working in the sun for a few hours and tell me it's all lies .Compare it to being somewhere that has an ozone layer .

Channel 9 claimed they knew who it was but for privacy (yeah, yeah I know - Ch9 lol) and other reasons were not going to name him

So is it common knowledge in the press? If so, its going to bust sooner or later

I was not singling them out the poster I was responding to did that. I agree I am impressed by Neeld and the accusation against him was way out of line.

I just cant believe how quick and without any facts people are prepared to suggest its a player.

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.

Yeah?

At the very least the Indigenous boys should front the Full Leadership group One at a Time, to either Fess Up, or explain what or who has said what to Mifsud...

Then When we find the Culprit, they stand before the whole footy dept, Boot Studders, Trainers, Staff, Players, Coaches & explain to them why...

Then the Leadership group should decide what to do about it.

Huh, I'm surprised Mif hasn't recieved a Thankyou parting envelope of say, Um, $100,000.00... you know, a thankyou, for your confidential approach...

....................

So where does a club "Indiginous Welfare Officer" (or whatever its called) stand in your definition of racism?

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you but the whole concept of setting up a specific racial support system has always struck me as having a level of paternalism if not racism (depending on definition)

Not trying to start a fight or be controversial, but it just shows the difficulty of defining little 'r' racism

No worries Robbie just my opinion on this matter to me we are all Demons from the supporters to the players and employees, same in life really just hate the seperation as IMHO it causes divides for generations and prevents us all moving forward but thats another discussion beyond a footy board

Why start this with a scornful 'Yeah'? You list a perfectly reasonable process that might be followed if certain things are true, but how does that contradict monocular's plea to " give our "senior indigenous player" at least the benefit of any doubt before condemning him". The 'yeah' sounds like you do believe in condemning people based on rumour. I presume you don't believe that, so please cool it.

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
