Rendell given an AFL gig

[Jasper]

But Davey categorically said he hadn't said anything to Misfud?

clearly, if you're willing to lie and stick to that lie, you win the battle.

Given what Mifsud has created, the AFL had no choice but to back away from the Davey storyline.

[ledge]

and the comedy show continues. Mifsud has apologised to Davey, saying he misunderstood him.

Davey says he trusts Mifsud (LOL)

Mifsud says he is continuing his work with the AFL (surely untenable by now)

In effect proving it was Davey. Wonder what Neelds thinking now.

[GVGjr]

All the clubs need to take the lead here and tell the AFL that Mifsud can't talk to players or coaches without someone else there to witness the conversation.
I don't doubt for a minute he has done some great work but after the events of the last few weeks if I was the club President I'd be making sure our club doesn't get sucked into a mess with him. It's just not good enough that careers and reputations can be undone by his lack of judgement.

Yeah extremely messy situation now and as G said there is no way any President will let him speak to players / officials without someone else present now. It's unworkable.

You have to feel for him.

Let down by a very senior player
Let down by the major sponsor - which means all the money he and Neil Craig were going to get to invest in the football department has suddenly gone.

What would Tom Scully be thinking if he was still there!!

Exactly. It was distressing to see the Rendell interview. IMO it should have never been dragged into the public arena like that.

[LostDoggy]

He published unfounded claims in an online article. He deserves a public flogging at least

Get ready to publicly flog 95% of our nation's journalists then.

Sounds like fun, where do I line up?

Pies to recruit Rendell

Given his record we should have snapped him up

Probably couldn't have afforded him and we wouldn't have the same resources as Crows and Pies. Would he be as effective with less money and resources?
