AFL Employee leaked info about indigenous players

But even if the source was a mfc player talking to mifsud he may have said something quite harmless and mifsud has misunderstood and overreacted

Very, very unlikely IMO.

Looks, sounds and smells like one or more of our own are carrying some serious chips on shoulders.

 

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

The AFL's integrity.................

aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...lol

Gold !!

They have none !!

Lots of people saying that there was a source within the club. Is there any evidence of this? Has it been reported in an article or interview? To the best of my knowledge there has been nothing said to even hint that there was someone within the club involved.
 

Wonder if it was the same indigenous player who jumped to Neeld's defence this morning, I hope it wasn't.

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 .


As for Misfud, this is now twice that he has resorted to trial by media rather than moving through the proper channels. There are procedures in place to deal with any apparent racism in the game and administration, and he has taken it upon himself to not follow them and instead to simply put it into the public forum and force the issue. This is a totally unacceptable approach and he can not be allowed to continue in such a sensitive position. In my job I too have access to sensitive and often confidential information. I can say with absolute certainty that if I were to make any of this information public knowledge I would be sacked the moment I was found out and rightly so. I can not understand how the billion dollar business of the AFL does not follow the same standards.

We do our club no favours by engaging in pure speculation about the source.

That is what Thomas did to his discredit.

There is no evidence it was from the club or a player.

Speculation here will only intensify the media scrutiny and frankly I would like us to be out of the media for a few weeks.

I think the club needs to make a strong public statement and lay all the facts it knows on the public table
 

FMD - you couldn't make crazy [censored] like this up if you tried!

I'm no genius but if the source is a senior indigneous players at Melbourne then that narrows the suspects down to one.

The elephant in the room

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

And they made it sound that way... there will be more in the actual sports bulletin in a few minutes.

Ok. We all know who our senior indigenous player is. What if he comes out and vehemently denies such an allegation? Channel 10 might very well become our FOJ sponsor with the amount of $ they might need pay up to cover defamation.

The club can deal with it on the basis of the facts it knows. My point is on a publically accessible forum those posting pure speculation without any facts are not helping the club or the players.

If anyone here has hard facts to hand then they should speak to the club.

I was highly critical of Thomas for what he did and we should not sink to his low standard as well.

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

Most definitely this has come from someone in the club and it needs to be got to the source of and explained. As a member I'm left with the impression that indeed there is at least one person there working to undermine Neeld. I'm not putting up with that!


They should hit Mifsud with something he would never expect.......

"Fetch the cushions!"

"Fetch the comfy chair!"

On seconds thoughts, maybe they already have!

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

Looks like they have dropped the senior indigenous player part of this story. Still have to wonder why Mifsud would have said anything.

 

Mifsud offered his resignation and Andy D said no thanks.

This guy has been throwing grenades anonymously from the trenches, trying to destroy people on the back of some sort of some sort of misconstrued perception of what Rendell is.

This bloke has no place in a position, such as his, where he is in charge of anything.... irresponsible.

  • 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.

    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.
