I can't blame Kantilaftas for coming out and fending for his club.
I'm not sure which radio outlet produced the rumour in the first place, (I can hazard an educated guess, mind you), but given the pro-AFL and largely corresponding anti-SANFL sentiment that pervades the airwaves in this state I think it's a good thing, and obliged to get on the front foot to set the record straight. In fact, I'd go as far as saying he should've called up the station in question and put the facts to back to them, in a measured, calm, and professional manner. As DW says, it's about how you deliver the message.
Whilst you're always going to appear defensive when responding to an allegation, I thought the tone was appropriate and professional, and what you'd expect from a CEO.
