Matt Rendell quits

[mickey]

Press conferance on now..

AFL demand his removal over racist remarks.

[Jim05]

Trigg sounds like he is about to explode.

[Johno6]

Crows had a good week so far

[Sky Pilot]

I haven't seen or heard any of this or whatever it is that is going on. But Matt Rendell is surely not a rocket scientist.

[heater31]

WTF

[Johno6]

It was on the rush hour and now on all the news obviously

[scoob]

Wonder if he made the comments in his jocks! AFC going well

[Gingernuts]

You are kidding me.

[Coach Bombay]

Thanks Matty for setting the club up with some awesome talent. All the best

[overloaded]

Only said what most think.

What a sad day for freedom of speech

[Alaska]

I just joined the AFC this week and I have had one of my favourites canned for drinking beer in his Boxers? (which we guys in regional sport do all the time) If we could tell some real stories of those gone past?
And now that great ruckman crucified for a frivolous remark (LOOK at his record) AHH but perhaps the fellow involved from AFL has evil intent from the past?

[locky801]

Smell a very dirty rat, lets hope Matt gets a right of reply with the media

[Jim05]

Disgraceful really.
You can attack someone with a machete and keep your job but a white person making an off the cuff remark in private loses his job

[cripple]

Nothing to do with Rendell being white, a players parentage should have nothing to do with his chances of being recruited. Stupid comment that has.come back to bite him on the arse

[gadj1976]

Quote: "My comments were about where recruiting could finish up without proactive work.

"I was trying to help."

Fair comment IMO. The recruiting of indigenous players needs to be carefully looked at otherwise Matt's comments will be 100 percent spot on in future. The indigenous players need extra assistance and if that's not provided, recruiters will give up on recruiting them. Imagine the AFL without the Jurrah's, Betts', Franklin's, Rioli's etc, etc.

He's just said what is obvious to 99% and been crucified as per the usual over-reacting minority (aka Dumbetriou)

That Jurrah gets off scott free from the league yet Rendell has an ultimatum placed on his head from the same people


talk about double standards

Sorry Heater, I read your post wrongly. Cheers!

[westozfalcon]

I just hope Rendell doesn't back down and make some token apology as an AFL-orchestrated PR appeasement. If he believes his comment was taken out of context and he meant no offence he should stand by what he said.
