Essendon has complained to the AFL after Brisbane Lions director Leigh Matthews launched a scathing attack on the struggling club during his radio commentary. But anyone who’s got choices ain’t going to Essendon,” Matthews told 3AW on Saturday. The comments from Matthews, the AFL’s player of the 20th century and current Brisbane board member, sparked an immediate response from Essendon. The AFL indicated it was a club issue, prompting Essendon chairman Andrew Welsh to contact Brisbane chairman Andrew Wellington over the weekend. Ex-coach Leigh Matthews is now a director on Brisbane’s board.
