You want to be 100% sure before you hang a man out to dry who has give 35 years service to the AFL. This hasn't just affected Matt, he has a wife and 2 teenage boys....

Trigg should go
I think Trigg screwed the pooch, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt - I do believe he was strong-armed by the AFL and felt he had no other choice.
 
So it is ok to hang out Rendell but not Trigg. :thumbsu:

No worries Jen

Interesting the AFL are going to offer him a job but Trigg wont because there is more to the story that we dont know:thumbsu:

No, I'm not saying what happened to Matt was ok. But advocating the same for Trigg does NOT right the wrongs done to Matt. Trigg was as much of a pawn in all this. Your anger should be at the afl - vlad specifically and mifsud who it is apparent now is nothing but a trouble maker. Put indigenous cause back by decades!
 
Surely Rendell now holds all the cards if he decides to sue for unfair dismissal , although technically he resigned it wouldn't be hard for Matt to prove he was forced to do so.
I think it could go much further than that though as it was also a case of Character assassination without any chance to redeem himself.
His accuser has now been found to be dishonest. The accusers employer has not acted on this new information so denying Rendell any real justice.

I hope Mathew at least looks into it.

This is outrageous. :mad: :thumbsdown:

Jason Mifsud has been caught red-handed by his own admission as an inventor of lies, branding Neeld as a racist.

He has now admitted that it was a lie. He has no credibility whatsoever and it is an absolute disgrace that Dimwitriou won't sack him. I would sack any member of my staff that caused such damage and mischief to another person's credibility by a knowing lie.

Mifsud must be sacked. If he doesn't then it is guilty of blatant double standards after the unnecessary crucifixion of Matt Rendell as a result of accusations by this proven liar.

Vlad told Trigg to sort it out. Trigg met with Misfud. Trigg called Rendell in and told him to resign. Vlad is now offering Rendell a job.

Why should I be angry at Vlad? I am angry at Trigg for unfair dismissal based on a horrible source... Trigg is 100% responsible and should be punished for unfair dismissal... Whatever that is he should cop!
 
To Mifsud's defence he is a moron. He doesn't have the intelligence to understand the use of exaggeration to make a point, just like he doesn't understand that you can't leak unsubstantiated rumours to the press.
Well he wouldn't have needed to interview well to get the job. He's black, that's all he needed.

Rendell definitely has grounds for legal action given this recent turn of events involving Mifsud.

Although he resigned, Trigg has openly said that if Rendell had not resigned, he would have been sacked.

Classic grounds for constructive dismissal IMO.

Vlad can't sack Mifsud be because that's racist! Probably...

It's hard to keep up with what racism is ok and what isn't.

Freddy, I'm a big fan of your posting on here mate, but do you honestly believe that Vlad didn't either demand, or make it incredibly clear that it was the only option he'd accpt, the sacking of Rendell?

He was on the radio the day before saying as much!

Whether or not we were forced into it is irrelevant, we've accepted the AFL's highly spun version of events so we must be judged on that.
 
It doesn't absolve Trigg of the blame completely, just pointing out that he was undoubtedly forced between a rock and a hard place.

I'm assuming the Crows did the right thing and paid him out in full; any idea if that was the case or not?

What was FClassified Disclaimer?

Not blaming the Crows for how Rendell was treated (there was no other option as far as the AFL were concerned) but gee you have to poor for the poor bloke and what was forced down the Crows throat.

I hope Adelaide can welcome Matty back in the near future once this debacle dies down.

Don't know for sure how much, but he did receive a payment. Whether it was for full contract, or discounted somewhat, I don't know, but it would have been significant IMO.

I watched FC but didn't really pick up on the disclaimer aspect. I would say that it was meant to distance Ch 9 from Thomas's comments which he made in his press article courtesy of Mifsud.

Vlad is offering Rendell a job...

Trigg is sticking to " if you knew the full story, you would understand why we cant have him back".

I was filthy at Trigg before. Now I am ropeable.

How can Vlad and the AFL put their hands up but Trigg can't....?
