Mifsud sorry for false claims
« on: April 03, 2012, 04:51:12 PM »
AFL COMMUNITY engagement officer Jason Mifsud has been revealed as the person who told a columnist that Melbourne coach Mark Neeld treated his indigenous players differently to their non-indigenous teammates.

Mifsud has issued an apology to Neeld. He has also received a warning from the AFL over his conduct and he will be counselled.

A blog by former St Kilda coach Grant Thomas on the ninemsn website claimed Neeld addressed the Demons' indigenous players as a group during the pre-season, but met all other players individually.

Mifsud has admitted to making the incorrect claim to Thomas.

His unreserved apology came after an AFL investigation, which included an interview with Neeld.

He also met with Demons chief executive Cameron Schwab Tuesday.

AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou said Mifsud had been counseled and issued with a warning.

He said Neeld was entitled to 'feel hurt' by what Thomas wrote and there was 'not one scintilla of truth' to the claims.

This certainly raises a few questions
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

so while the afls will hang, draw a quarter anyone for making a comment that could be slightly perceived as racist, they back to the hilt someone who lies and thus paints someone else as being racist.

what a joke this organisation is..and they portray themselves as custodians of the game (while acting like they own it)
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Mifsud is sly.

Demetriou is a malaka.

So is Lyon.

Melbourne footy club is a disgraceful footy club.

So let me get this straight

Rendell had to quit because his position had become untenable. He wasn't offered counselling or a warning he was simply shafted out the door.

Jason Mifsud reveals details a private conversation (again) and in the process creates a "rumour" that is clearly untrue that borders on defamation. He offers to resign but Andy says "no you've just made a mistake and so go and have some counselling and here's an official warning"

And in both incidents there is one common denominator and that's Jason Mifsud

What the...... :banghead :banghead

And they wonder why people hold the AFL in contempt

Two-time premiership player David King said that Mifsud has lost the trust of the people he represented - the game's Indigenous players - and his job was untenable.

"The only honourable thing for him to do his to walk from the job," King told Fox Footy's AFL 360.

"Having made a couple of errors in the recent months or so, he has to walk.

"There is no other way this could play out."

The controversial comments made by Rendell - that clubs would only consider drafting Indigenous players if they had at least one white parent - were made in a private conversation with Mifsud.

Former Indigenous AFL player Dean Rioli says the Rendell and Neeld incidents proves that Mifsud can't be trusted to keep private conversations behind closed doors.

Rioli, who played 100 games for Essendon, echoed King's comments that the game's Indigenous community had lost faith in Mifsud.

"Everyone I speak to (say) he's very untrustworthy," Rioli told Melbourne radio station SEN.

"If you've got someone that's untrustworthy, you can't resolve anything privately and then you've got a serious issue.

"If he's going to run to the media every single time that someone comes to him with a question ... I wouldn't go and speak with him because I would be afraid that it would go straight to the headlines."

I believe he was offered counselling but after the saga of interviews. But still.

I reckon It's a square up. Thomas is great mates with Rendell. What Rendell said to misfud in confidence was blabbed. So Thomas found a way to get him back so he leaked what misfud said to him in confidence. Think about it.... Thomas hates the AFL bosses and got one back for his mate.
My take anyway. 
The club that keeps giving.

But Thomas & Mifsud are mates as well so that sort of shafts your theory a bit
