Sounds a bit fishy to me, but he said it, it's been done, play on.

The fact that there's a lot larger percentage of indeginious people in the AFL system than in the population of the country itself indicates to me that the AFL must be doing something right.

The KPI in Mifsuds contract is the most racist part of all. To have someone focusing on recruiting people of a certain race is racist. It means that there could be an ok Aboriginal player taken ahead of a good quality caucasian player.

Ive lost the little amount of respect I had left for the AFL.

Yep agree whole heartedly. I've always had a love hate stance on the AFL, I love to watch Adelaide play but just hate the way the AFL is structured and administrated. I had to walk away from watching Mifsud's comments last night and (not that I normally watch it) refused to watch the Footy Show for fear of being force fed any more politically correct toe licking Victorian centric backslapping AFL bullshit.
I emailed Adelaide concerning Rendell earlier this week, got a reply and after Mifsud's crap last night felt like emailing them again but I can't be stuffed.
The AFL's crack down on comments made about Folau's report and getting off just sums it up for me, it's all just so overly petty and pathetic.

The AFL are just falling into line with what the government and big business have been doing for 20 years which gives them a better return when you look at the bigger picture and environment created by most democratic nations.
In 20 years time we'll probably have a trans gender lesbian Ethiopian disabled athlete lining up at full forward in a wheelchair for the Crows. :lol:

I honestly think the end result is the correct one. The fact that Rendell was even thinking that way is enough to justify his sacking.

All he wanted was to set up something like the AIS...except one that catered especially for indeginous players...whats wrong with that?

No wonder every other country thinks we're racist, when half our population take it upon theirselves to climb up on that high horse whenever multicultural issues come up...it really gives me the shits...

At least Balmey has the character and guts to come out and say what he thinks, pity most other AFL identities have all turned their heads for fear of being deemed a racist or incurring the wrath of Demitriou The Impaler.

I think he was on SEN this morning and basically said that the punishment didn't fit the crime and that Mifsud and Demitriou have assassinated his career. Been trying to find a link but been unable to. He didn't hold back in being very direct at the AFL. I've been listening to SEN a fair bit this week and the public sentiment it almost 100% behind Rendell as it is if you look at any public comments to articles about the issue.

Wasn't it Balme that demanded the recruiter be named so as "we all aren't tarred with the same brush"?

Before he realised what the tar was, yes.
