Re: Matt Rendall...
Loved Rendell's insistence of Lyon's source (eventually spat out as Patrick Smith). That insistence was what FC prided themselves on at the show's inception and now it relies on the guests to pressure for substance over fluff.

Re: Matt Rendall...
Please explain why? It seems people here feel sorry for Rendell due to his emotions. His stupid comment is unacceptable in my book. I admit I have high standards when it comes to racism.

Re: Matt Rendall...
I actually think AFL HQ as an adminstrator of the professional level of the game could be making themselves untenable.
Does AFL HQ need to be regulated, not just for trade practice reasons etc.. but also on social/cultural grounds responsibility because it appears they could be falling short of the mark???

Re: Matt Rendall...
Text book defamation action. Huge public disgrace and direct financial loss.
The problem is that Mifsud won't back Rendell (needs to save his own skin) and there is unknown 3rd party AFL douche that will give his own out of context view (make vlad look as something other than the stupid fat arseh*le that he is).
You'd advise Rendall against it.

I'll flat out admit I missed the interview, if someone wants to give me the run-down, go for it.

Re: Matt Rendall...
Does Caro have a twitter address or email address that we can contact her on to let her know how clueless she is?
If only every footy game was as compelling as that 30 minutes of TV!

Re: Matt Rendall...
Everybody is forgetting that he is still hasn't apologised for these comments. The comments which he said that they had a laugh about and then he said they didn't have a laugh about.
Really Rendell? Nobody in the AFL is racist, so you make throwaway lines like that and then come and gives us conflicting reports in the same interview?
"Well... If I offended anybody" Rendell says at the very end even though he had been asked several times and even at the start about his comments.
You don't understand you offended anyone? Seriously? Your long time mate Misfud, The AFL, an article in the paper, the general public outrcry, you then lose your job and you haven't realised if you offended anyone?
Seriously you people are buying his sob story even though he continually contraticed himself during the whole interview? When asked if he would recruit an indegenious player over a white player both of equal ability he said they cannot be equal. Muhaha, more racism!
And then finally after a long pause he says, "it would be a bonus for the aboriginal player".
This is why the AFL need be 100% diligent. People now believe a racist, crying, poor and unemployed man because he said he had a big ball in his stomach. Rendell, that's called GUILT and you ruined 35 years of hard work in 3 minutes.
All you had to say. I am sorry, I shouldn't of said that, in hindsight I realised it was a stupid thing to say and this is not my intention. My intention is...
and that would've been fine. But he didn't.
The underseeded of racism is fairly permutated in the minds of people still in this country.

Lyon should be embarrassed that he brought up Patrick Smith's name like anyone cares what that old senile fool thinks. I'm sure Rendall was shaking in his boots after he heard that.

Re: Matt Rendall...
It seems to me power politics has a higher priority than common sense!!!!
What has AFL HQ got to hide and fear????
Maybe an enquiry is needed!!!
This is a massive reach by AFL HQ to cling to the higher ground!!!
Maybe things are getting unstable in the fort!!!!

Re: Matt Rendall...
After watching that I think he was trying to do the right thing but is a little misguided like most people when it comes to these issues.
It's a "serious problem" that some of these kids don't really want an AFL career and that we don't fix them earlier by moving them away from their families and culture and try to make them more like us? Dunno about that.
These issues are just so much more complicated than people realize .

Re: Matt Rendall...
Simpy because it was not a comment - it was a ridiculous scenario that he described in a much broader conversation about recruiting, and the problems being experienced by new players. Of course it would have been a stupid comment - that was EXACTLY the point he was making in a conversation with two other people.
If you have high standards when it comes to racism I suggest you fully inform yourself of a situation before passing judgement on it. The majority of other posters here are not simply feeling sorry for him.

Re: Matt Rendall...
Caro is simply a bad person.
How she attacked him and didn't listen to anything he said was pathetic.
Also at the end when she said Hawthorn should apologise to Richmond over Clarko's comments about Hardwick is a joke.
Clarko was just trying to stick up for his mate and yet she makes out like he disrespected Richmond so badly. Honestly Caro you are a germ.
