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

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."

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.

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.

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
