I’m certain there’s no formal policy. But what occurred back then, all the available evidence, Randell standing down, Mifsud quoting that one recruiter stated ”'unless they have a white parent we are not going to draft an Aboriginal player and our club would not be alone in that'.” He also stated that this was not an attitude held at just the one club.

Seems nlol doesn’t want to acknowledge this side of things at all and would prefer to support Rendell who claimed later on he didn’t say it. :lol:

It’s damning that rendell stood down, absolutely damning. Anyone with half a brain knows that an innocent man would be far, far far less likely to leave their job when wrongly accused.

So yep let’s all agree there was no written policy but it was definitely practised ;)
Rendell resigned after intense pressure from the AFL, the Adelaide Crows admitted it.

In the absence of evidence we are left with he said she said.

Supporting Rendell's story is there's no evidence the crows were recruiting in the manner suggested. There's also the point that he clarified his comments later, and he discussed his point of view openly with an Indigenous person who was also an AFL official. It makes no sense for him to jeopardise his role by doing this when he valued his continued employment.

Supporting Mifsud's story is......his opinion only

Everyone makes mistakes dear nlol, you mightn’t believe it but even racists make mistakes too you know. Hell, racists have even been known to accidentally put their foot in their mouths on public radio ahem Eddie :lol: hell, some decide to dress up in black face on tv as some type of twisted racist joke ahem Sam. And some even decide to spill the beans on club decisions to recruit only Aboriginal players with one white parent ahem Rendell.

Try to imagine Rendell as the fat guy on the rocket in this video. He made a mistake too. And you nlol? Your Leslie Neilson in the video. Prob is you’re actually serious and truly believe, as you always do, that there’s nothing sinister going on in Afl land.
