THE Adelaide Crows will hold an extraordinary press conference at 5pm, which willl include chairman Rob Chapman.
It is not yet known what the Crows leadership plan to discuss but there is speculation that it is related to debate about the recruiting of Aboriginal footballers.
One AFL club recruiter has reportedly admitted to the AFL that his club would baulk at signing up an Aboriginal player unless he had at least one white parent.
AFL chief Andrew Demetriou today said he had spoken to the club involved and would wait to see what internal action it took before the AFL stepped in.

What does "admitted to the AFL" mean?

Is the presser on tv/radio at all?

'I think there are some who clubs...'

That's the only possible out; if hes saying that's what we(he) do, then I can't see how we can avoid sacking him.

Will be filthy if that's the case.

Disgusting attitude. Fairly ashamed, I must say.

What if he was in his boxers when he said it?

Yikes

They might kick the club out of the competition if that's the case.

Does Richard Tambling have a white parent?

It's not an acceptble comment, whoever made it.

You just can't make racial slurs like that.

I fear that it's Rendell, because whereas other recruiters might think it, they wouldn't say it. Rendell on the other hand says what he thinks - good or bad.

My heart is hoping that it's an underling who said it, but my head says it will be Rendell.

Hope I'm wrong though.

My instinct immeaditly it's a fair call as the footballer with the white parent has less cultural distractions and can be bought off more so than the one with two "black parents"....

Going to be assasinated by the political correct lobby trying to uphold in the community a false sense of multiculturilism, but he's got a point.

It will be interesting if it was club policy not Rendells and he just spilled his guts as Rendell does....

FWIW, I know him well and he has NEVER EVER said that...

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

Ditmar and roo say he's resigned...

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

If the allegations are true - really puts the Vince incident into perspective...

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

Well, it's disgusting if it's him and he will be gone - and that's a good thing.

The yokels who will come out to defend him - prejudicial flogs.

Vlad sounded very unimpressed.

you guys might find your recruiting section has new staff at 5:11pm. if not, Vlad may enforce such a change.

FFS Matty! Why did it have to be him. He'll definitely be sacked or he'll resign. What a disgraceful comment.

Disgracefull.

oh FFS!

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

Hoping it was an underling and not Rendell, not looking good though.

Perhaps he's a racist bogan? He didn't get hit by a bus or anything. It's his bigotry coming out.

Who should be our new recruiting manager?

Thanks for the scoop

I agree, just wish it wasn't our recruiting manager.

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

If this is club policy then we could lose a few good men.

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

If the club fined Bernie for wearing boxers in public, Rendell will definitely get the sack. If this happens we're stuffed. Too late to poach a current recruiter and we're heading towards the best draft for a while. We'll end up with some left over recruiter. Or worse another Fantasia.

It was a stupid thing to say, let's just leave it there.st
