Cricketing great Shane Warne has joined a chorus of sport stars and fans in slamming a decision by the AFL to consult Waleed Aly about improving the game.

Warne took to Twitter to launch an incredible spray after being left stunned by news the TV personality had been brought in to give his opinions about potential new rules for the AFL. 

‘Please tell me this is fake news and that this arrogant cretan is in no way way involved on any level,’ he wrote.

Aly, a Gold Logie-winner and host of Channel Ten’s The Project, has been involved in a series of one-off meeting with league footy boss Steve Hocking, AFL spokesman Patrick Keane confirmed to the Herald Sun. 

He is being asked for his opinion alongside others, including broadcaster Gerard Whateley and AFL great Malcolm Blight.    

But sports writer Richard Hinds said Aly, a fervent Richmond Tigers supporter, had a great insight into the game.   

‘I’ve talked footy with Waleed Aly plenty of times. He knows more about the modern game than a few people on the AFL’s silly rules panels and less than some others. But so predictable he is the one attacked for being asked his opinion,’ Hinds wrote on Twitter.

More to come.
