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.

    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.

    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.

    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....

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
