'How stupid the AFL can be'

Posted by: 3AW Football | 21 May, 2010 - 10:19 AM

EMAIL TO NEIL MITCHELL: "Hi Neil, My name is Matthew Mayne and I am 10 years old. I thought I would let you know how stupid the AFL can be. I have attached a copy of an AFL Footy Plays card that you get from Thins potato chips, CC’s and Samboy packets. I have collected stacks of them and I use my pocket money and buy them from the RSL when my dad has a few pots. Have a look at the back of the card. Can you tell me where this AFL ground is as it looks a lot like a rugby ground. I think the AFL can be dumb sometimes what do you think?

Can you please ask Andrew Demetriou how a mistake like this could be made and if he will give me a refund?"

The AFL won't like this...

Jeff Kennett, in his regular Thursday segment, discusses what appears to be the ever-increasingly confusing AFL drug policy in light of the way Geelong's Mathew Stokes and Fremantle's Michael Johnson have been treated by their clubs, the AFL and the media.
