Matt Rendell quits

[The Sleeping Giant]

Pretty sure he didn't get sacked ..

Pretty sure it was resign or be sacked. 6 of 1.....

He resigned........so it is 12 of 1 and nothing of the other

Semantics

[Dissident]

For what Rendell did and said, he does NOT deserve the tarnishing and loss of job that has happened.

Totally agree with Balmey.

[OnSong]

Thought Newman summed it up well last night.

[The Sleeping Giant]

How many indigenous footballers has Rendell recruited during his time at the Crows? Tony Armstrong. Who else?

Good question. Assuming he was on hand from the 2007 National draft:

- Jarrhan Jacky (2007)
- Tony Armstrong (2007)
- Jared Petrenko (2008)
- Richard Tambling (2010)

I ay have missed someone.

Good question. Assuming he was on hand from the 2007 National draft:

- Jarrhan Jacky (2007)
- Tony Armstrong (2007)
- Jared Petrenko (2008) (Rookie)
- Richard Tambling (2010) - via trade

I ay have missed someone.

Jon Griffen -2005 (Rookie)
Tim Mileera - (Rookie)

So since 2007, the Crows have used 2 National Draft picks on Indigenous footballers, 2 on Rookies and 1 via trade.

Is there any other club with a lower number?

at one stage in Matt's tenure at the club they had the most indigenous players on any AFL list

[The Sleeping Giant]

He joined the Crows in 2007. If the Crows did have the most Indigenous players at their club, what happened?

dunno, but they still have petrenko, johncock, Cameron ellis yolman and tambling. After losing tony Armstrong and Macca last year.

[CoverKing]

He traded for tambling. Griffin wanted out for personal reasons

Jacky was crap. Armstrong was a troubled kid who was given a massive chance and then fled the crowd when he finally started to repay some faith.

He is not racist in any way IMO and his picks do not suggest one way or another

[Dissident]

It's quite disappointing you're trying to use his drafting history as backup for him being racist.

Weird.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Just asked the question diss. Not implying that Rendell is racist, but might be implying that what he predicted in his meeting with Misfud, may already be taking place.

[NO-MERCY]

Why doesn't Misfud come on the Footy show or 5AA & be prepared for a drilling.

[The Sleeping Giant]

I guess for the same reason Rendell wouldn't appear on the Mangrook footy show.

[NO-MERCY]

I'm sure if they asked him on there he would, theirs alot of aboriginal players that still respect Rendell no doubt about that, this thing has been blown right out of proportion in my eyes & "some" people are very sensitive to off the cuff remarks, one in which was nothing compared to a few others in the past like ( Dippa ) Yet theirs Journo's like ( Rucci ) that just love a drama & like to beat it up into a bigger drama.
Their are alot of people ( white ) too scared to comment on this problem the AFL have but Rendell never has been, he made a silly (off the cuff heat of the moment) remark that the Adelaide Footy Club & the AFL have hung him for, atleast he was one that was trying to help the young up & coming aboriginal kids by coming up with ideas & solutions, i bet Mifsud uses something positive Redden said out of that meeting to his benifit as we know Mifsud's on a performance based contract.
This all could of been handled better, unfortunately someone was made the scapegoat.
Matty i don't believe your racist & i've admired what you have done in the past with your recruiting for a number of clubs.
As for Rucci & Co i wish they would shut the f..k up & stop repeating himself like he has now for a week, he's such a " know all " why doesn't he approach the AFL with the solution?

Rendell appeared in front of a tougher audience than the MFS on a pre-recorded interview.

With his mate Grant Thomas?

Footy Classified with Hutchy and Garry Lyon. He was grilled.
Didn't Caro also have a go?
