Re: Rendell Says the club will only recruit Aboriginals that have one white parent

Rendell regretting he agreed to the extra 3 years we gave him at the end of 2011, but said the super draft of this year was too tempting, so stayed on. Seriously considered the Port assistant job too.

****, Caro and Lyon are seriously pissing me off here, the bloke has explained himself perfectly and they keep badgering him. Thomas and Hutchy have actually been the good ones in this interview!

He is more concerned about the lack of initiative by the AFL on the aboriginal issue than losing his job, said he couldn't care less about that. And definitely doesn't want to be known as a racist, Hutchy saying he won't be.

Re: Rendell Says the club will only recruit Aboriginals that have one white parent

I have never been ashamed to be a supporter of the Adelaide Crows but tonight I am!

Shame on you AFC and shame on you Steven Trigg!
Rendell holds no grudges towards Triggy at all, this is purely an AFL forced issue, and Rendell knew Triggy had no other option. He even agreed when Triggy said the 'mud is already in the water'! People really need to get this engrained in their heads.
 
It's really ****ing hard to argue with everything MR just said. Maybe if the media knew this to begin with this shitstorm mightn't have happened.. again...

From Raph Clarkes twitter

@thomo_ninemsn bundy is a great man and I back him 100% he is not racist one bit and I loved playing under him! Will always be a mate to me!

So the aboriginal players who played/worked with him seem to love him.

Guess they're all wrong.

They've stitched up a bloke who was passionately, genuinely trying to address a problem.
 
Re: Rendell Says the club will only recruit Aboriginals that have one white parent

Goodness me. Glad I stayed up for that. Talk about intense. I feel sorry for him. I think he's been burnt firstly by this Jason Misfud fellow and then by Dimitriou. I think he should have been given a chance to defend himself before he had to resign. I've changed my opinion here.

I am sorry but if you are the LEADER of and AFL club it is YOUR job to stand up for your employees. THAT is what LEADERSHIP is. Making decisions to please superiors is NOT leadership! It's piss weak!

Matt Rendell does not know how to hold a grudge! I on the other hand do so sue me!

And we couldn't afford to have our name dragged through mud for a few days and wait for everything to be clarified and hear Rendell's side of the story first?

No BACCS, it's a cop out mate.

I don't blame Triggy completely, because of that, but, at the same time, integrity and principles are sometimes worth fighting for - and this was one of those time.

It's a disgrace that we've allowed this to happen.


And Hutchy is suggested that Rendell hadn't given his side of the story to the AFL; tonight was the first time it was put on the table.

Andy D better get his story straight, because he looks like a ****ing liar at present.
 
It's also important to distinguish whether he said it was actually club policy, or whether he said it would get that way if things didn't improve.

Surely the distinction has to be made. The latter is nowhere near as bad.
 
Re: Rendell Says the club will only recruit Aboriginals that have one white parent

**** me. compelling tv.

**** you Trigg. It's been building and now you've finally lost me.

To refuse a man the opportunity to defend himself - then ask him to stand down. GO AND GET ****ED.

Trigg needs to come out and explain his version pretty quick ****ing smart.

Rendell and Trigg are good mates. This is all just so very sad. I'm not ashamed of my Club but I am ashamed of the position they were put in by the ****ing AFL. I want questions answered.

Why wasn't this told to the AFL in January when the conversation took place?
If Misfud was so outraged by the comments, why would he wait two months to tell anyone?
Why would Vlad allow this to be leaked to the press - under AFL overseers?
Why would Vlad on one hand say "if he said it, he better start looking for other employment" and then said he had asked the CEO of the Club involved to have a serious talk about it with his recruiting manager" and then tonight say he didn't demand anything of Trigg?

Something is just not right.
 
Re: Rendell Says the club will only recruit Aboriginals that have one white parent

I don't post here much any more, but still an avid reader.

I am disgusted, absolutely sickened with the way rendell has been used as a scape-goat to paper over the real issues.
Rendel, mate, Thankyou for your contribution to this club and the afl as a whole. you deserved so much better than you got.

The whole administration has me sick
 
Re: Rendell Says the club will only recruit Aboriginals that have one white parent

I'm really F%$king pissed off right now. I'm ropable at the way Matt has been lynched.

Two faced pricks in the AFL and the AFC

TRIGGY YOU HAVE A LOT OF F$#KING EXPLAINING TO DO!!!!!!!

Edit, I taped the interview and want to watch it again, however I'm afraid of the damage I may do to my beautiful flat screen TV.

Re: Rendell Says the club will only recruit Aboriginals that have one white parent

Why the hell does he have to toe the afl line. It's freaking incompetent leadership. The leadership of OUR club!! It's disgraceful


Vlad is lying On Thursday he said that whoever made these comments better get another job.

Good luck going uo against "City Hall" with that mentality.
 
Re: Rendell Says the club will only recruit Aboriginals that have one white parent

I really feel for Rendell....well done afl....you have done it to the crows once again.....we will never win cos we are not from melbourne!
 
Re: Good luck Rendell

What a disgrace, the AFC/AFL have ballsed this up.

Rendell has been completely hang out to dry by the club and the AFL.

This is ametuer hour, an honest bloke burnt by a failed system.

The joke is on you Trigg and Vlad

Spot on. What a bloody joke.
 
Re: Good luck Rendell

I wouldn't say the club has burnt him because they had their hand forced but the afl are a disgrace. They let this get out in the media and taken way out of context and obviously Matt was the scapegoat. I mean he was trying to solve the problem for Christs sake. AD is a lying sack of cr*p and will fall on his own sword one day.
I feel so sorry for Matt and hope his name is not tarnished by it all and can go on to live a happy life.

Ps Caro is an absolute slag.
