Good on her for speaking up for Mitch and understanding it is job and livelihood that someone at Richmond fc has lent on the AFL to take from him, idenfinitely.

Big Mitch Cleary got his job back.

Hooray!!

AFL spin

“The AFL has today concluded an internal matter regarding a member of the AFL Media team, Mitch Cleary...according to the league Cleary “has acknowledged it was a mistake” to post the photo, and he has now returned to work".

They could have delayed standing him down until after the review, a mere 24 hours and saved Mitch a lot of grief.

Cue people now claiming that the AFL have no balls for caving in to public pressure. :P

no,  they have no integrity concerning their integrity

So Mitch was stood down for one day whilst a simple investigation was being conducted? He is the only one that comes out of this not looking like an imbecile. The Cotchin’s are self-entitled bogans and the AFL are pathetic.

Bit much going on in the world right now to go around smashing people with personal insults on the internet isn't there?

Some people did the wrong thing, all of them have owned it and are paying the penalty. It's a difficult time as it is, we don't need to be so harsh to people we don't know.

Cleary actually broke an AFL Media protocol of not reporting the names of family members who break protocol.

Perhaps a bit less speedy with the insults and outrage until all the facts come out.

Even then, not sure why the insults are necessary tbh.


How was this not in breach of covid rules. The start date for community contact sport was never reached I thought.

https://www.afl.com.au/news/480707/-this-was-an-oversight-powerful-player-agent-fined-for-draft-camp-breach

"POWERFUL player agent Paul Connors has been sanctioned for running a camp for prospective players against draft rules.

The AFL Players Association Agent Accreditation Board slapped Connors with a $7500 fine ($5000 suspended) on Tuesday night. 

As reported by AFL.com.au, more than 20 players eligible for the 2020 and 2021 NAB AFL Drafts completed a two-day camp in Sorrento during the school holidays last month."

Robbo having another shot at Eddie.

Not the best of mates...

He never misses a chance.

Not breaches as such but some players seem to be getting a bit 'high and mighty' and Richmond seem to be the main culprits.  league-fed-up-infuriated-richmond-demands

"The AFL has become increasingly frustrated at Richmond players for some weird, wacky requests and bills that have been sent to league HQ.  Other clubs are aware of the AFL’s frustrations in Queensland as the league does its best to keep the season running.  One high-ranking club official said: “The AFL is off them massively. Self-entitlement is huge.”

It was a Richmond person who inquired about bringing a puppy to Queensland, which prompted the AFL to issue a strict edict last month to clubs telling them this is no holiday.  It’s also understood at least a few Tigers players asked the AFL to reimburse them for Coles online orders too".

Entitlement indeed!

Unsure if this applies is Richmond but it beggars belief that people would do this:  "Nine journalist Sam McClure on Wednesday said the AFL was “fed up” after some players had put in requests for carpenters to alter apartments..."

Come back to Victoria folks for a dose of reality.


Wonder what they will cop this week. Hope Dusty wasn't asking for Chinese food every day.

Didnt Mrs Cotchin hrself post infomration on social media? So it was clearly public?

Wayne Bennett suspended from coaching Souths this weekend against his old mob the Broncos after breaching covid protocols. ( eating in a restaurant with wife). 

I'm still unsure how Bucks was able to coach last round.

Bennett was on the Panel that drew up the Bubble Protocol!!

Hilarious..He has looked like a dementia sufferer for quite a while!

Yep. But I'm talking about how AFL Media already had a protocol in place about not naming people but then Cleary did it. I'm not saying it's 100% clear cut, given it was on his twitter and already public as you mentioned, but he did still do the wrong thing which he has since admitted.

Ok 

He would admit fault however, Thats what happened in East Berlin and Russia .........if you ever want to work in this business again. Just ask Dale Lewis....

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
