“As you know from recent media, the AFL is currently investigating certain aspects of MFC's on-field performance in the 2009 season,” McLardy said.
“The Board of the MFC is concerned to ensure that the MFC is treated fairly and properly. The Board will fully co-operate with an independent, lawful and transparent process. The Board has sought an assurance from the AFL that natural justice will be afforded to the MFC, its players, employees and staff through the investigation.
“The Board is also concerned to ensure there is minimal impact on our current football department and playing group. Since the significant restructure by the Board of our football department in 2011, we have had a clear plan and settled staff, and every effort will be made to ensure they can continue to focus on the upcoming season.”
