Re: Matt Rendall...

Just saw the end of it.

On a side note, does anytone else think Caro looks a good 5 years older than last year and Craigs head and neck have gaine a few centimetres.

Dead-set the ugliest panel for a football show!

[Happy_Neale]

Re: Matt Rendall...

Caro came across as an absolute ****wit out of that.

"Would you like to apologise?"
"I would and I should have mentioned that. I apologise if people were offended by what was a silly comment but--"
"Well that's a copout, you're either sorry or your not"

He wasn't even finished yet! **** off.

Re: Matt Rendall...

sounded like he genuinely wanted to help fix the attrition rate of aboriginal draftees in the AFL.. unfortunately used the one white parent example as an extreme direction teams may move to ensure aboriginal kids stay in the system. his idea of helping to transition 30x top aboriginal U16 kids by moving them down to melbourne is a good one. he's been fixed up nicely.

Re: Matt Rendall...

caro is amazingly stupid.

Unbelievable. She hardly took in anything Rendall said.

Re: Matt Rendall...

Lyon and Caro are pathetic. Hutchy was just a scared lil girl

Must watch interview for anyone in the states behind. Bloody hell that was intense.

Re: Matt Rendall...

I think people have become incredibly sensitive on the whole. We've overcorrected on the racism issue - far better to be overly cautious than outwardly rascist, but to be haranged in the manner he has is over the top.

His comment as I understand it is that unless something is done to remedy the situation, clubs are going to become increasingly wary about drafting certain indigenous players. A fair enough comment I think but one that extends beyond just indigenous players to anybody coming from a disadvantaged background.

Re: Matt Rendall...

After reading this thread i'm pissed I completely forgot about it! anyone got a link to tonight's episode or anything?

 

[Clean Heels]

Re: Matt Rendall...

Why do they even ask for Caros opinion, its beyond me.
Shes not qualified on the matter, shes never even touched a sherrin,
shes never been in a coaching box, scouted talent, etc.
Its just one big joke that Gary and Hutchy give her a chance to
talk on the matter, I hope Grant cracks her.

Re: Matt Rendall...

Respect Man.

They've metaphorically slit his belly and dragged his guts out with a hook in some medieval public display.

caro was knitting like one of those old crones

Do the stats even support the accusations against Rendell ?

has he drafted that way ?

What is the proportion of indigenous drafted generally compared to draft applicants ?


Just one other point. Journalists cant handle genuine Passion - its alien to them

Re: Matt Rendall...

Pretty sure us in NSW don't get it at all, anyone care to summarise or post a link?

Re: Matt Rendall...

Also shows what a Bitch Caro is and She sounds like a AFL Puppet.

God On Rendall sticking it up Andy D Ass

Re: Matt Rendall...

Always has.

lol... only a Crows supporter would believe that... king of spin and it makes it hard to believe anything he says.

Re: Matt Rendall...

dont watch FC much - does grant thomas usually give demetriou as much of a whack as he just did?

Re: Matt Rendall...

I wouldnt say lyon was that bad? he seemed to let him finish what he wanted to say. and then moved on to the next question.

Caro on the other hand was very accusatory in her question, flat out cutting him off, and not really listening to the answers.

"searching for the next headline" as has already been stated above.

It will be all over the interwebz soon enough. After they played the on the couch footage he nearly went into orbit.

Re: Matt Rendall...

Jesus. The AFL sure does suck balls sometimes.

Andy D obviously hasnt researched it.

Caro, your an idiot.

Grant Thomas

Absolutely.

For mine, one of the best parts of watching.

You're right, and that's exactly the problem with all of this. From his telling of the story, Rendall is much more across the problems that exist with many kids getting drafted, and was trying to have a discussion about finding solutions. He says one line that when read independently of the conversation takes on a completely different meaning, and some idiot decides to hang him out to dry to make it look like something good is being done, when in reality the Crows/AFL are just deflecting from the actual problem.

Re: Matt Rendall...

Caro is such a hack it's scary.

 

[PottSie2]

Re: Matt Rendall...

Vlad confirms he'd make a great politician.
Rendall confirms he is a man of honor.
Caro confirms she's a moron.
Media confirms they are not interested in the truth only headlines.
Media confirms they are squibs and more controlled by the AFL than the Canberra Press Pack.
PC'ists confirm they are more interested in drowning out debate with slurs than actually addressing issues.
