‘Something strange is going on’: AFL flag controversy takes another twist

Neil Mitchell has been left than impressed with the AFL’s response to the Israel flag controversy at Marvel Stadium on Saturday, saying “something strange” appears to be going on.

And the father of a young Jewish footy fan who took the flag to the North Melbourne game has doubled down in his criticism of the league.

“They make it up as they go along and now they’ve opened this can of worms,” Gary said.

Neil Mitchell said he found it interesting it took the AFL “four or five hours” to publicly state there was no issue with the flag being taken into the ground.

“There is something strange going on here,” he said.

“The AFL preaches holier than thou – they need to spend some time with their staff.”
