so the AFL essentially admit that Neale instigated the quarter time discussion with Scott, but that's ok because Neale is a player or in this case "a child" while Scott as the senior coach is deemed "an adult" and not allowed to defend his players
Seems the AFL is also pissy because they haven't previously sanctioned Scott when he's stood up for his players during breaks in the game
a big part to remember is the AFL has an obsession with growth and money in Queensland, and Lachie neale is currently their poster boy for QLD. The idea of labeling him negatively is a no go area for the socialist AFL.
