sorry, but that is heresay from a guy with a history of misinterpreting and overplaying the facts.AFLcrap1 wrote: ↑Sat May 05, 2018 8:04 amJason Mifsud, the AFL's community engagement manager, confirmed there was a disturbing attitude existing at some clubs. ''I have had direct conversations with a number of recruiting officers. A recruiter from one club told me that 'unless they have a white parent we are not going to draft an Aboriginal player, and our club would not be alone inthat.' That is a mindset that is permeating back through parts of the industry.
It was fucking stated
Deal with it you dickhead

Mifsud, the AFL's community engagement manager, has been reprimanded and counselled for raising the unfounded issues in a conversation with Thomas.
Mifsud was involved in a racial furore that cost Adelaide recruiting officer Matthew Rendell his job last month.
"Notwithstanding that Jason never intended for that conversation to appear in the public domain, it still remained an unacceptable comment," Demetriou said.
"I explained to Jason that the standards we hold in this organisation apply to all employees that things are to be treated as highly confidential.
"I have addressed the matter with Jason and given Jason a warning that that behaviour won't be tolerated and also counselled him about how to address those issues in the future.''
Neeld said he was hurt by the allegations after Thomas posted them on a website yesterday.
Mifsud said today he met with Neeld and Demons chief executive Cameron Schwab "to express a full and unreserved apology""Today I met with Cameron Schwab and Mark Neeld of the Melbourne football club to offer my unreserved apology in relation to the false claim concerned the management of indigenous players at the Melbourne Football Club," Mifsud said.
"The claim was initially brought to my attention by sources within the AFL fraternity earlier this year, but clearly have proven to be a false and baseless assertion..
