LIONS SET TO LOSE MAL
BY BRAD KLIBANSKY
BRISBANE Lion’s full- back Mal Michael began pre- season training in Brisbane this week, with his desired move to Essendon becoming more of a reality after approval from AFL Chief Executive Andrew Demetriou.
As reported in today’s Australian, with the AFL’s investigation of the Michael saga, headed by the league’s football operations manager Adrian Anderson still in progress, Demetriou yesterday suggested he didn’t think the Bombers or Michael had done anything that would warrant either party being sanctioned.
“At the moment we don’t think they are (in breach of any rules) but there is an investigation going on and we will have to wait for the outcome of the investigation,” Demetriou said on the AFL’s website.
As it stands, the Lions are at long odds to receive any positive response from the AFL, and are set to lose one of the games finest backmen and receive nothing in return.
