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.

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.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
