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.

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: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
