That really is an ordinary response. I'd take it up with the Bulldogs, the MFC since they oprate Deesbet, the AFL sincethey seem to be sanctioned or listening to Jon Faine, he seems to like a bit of a crusade against sportsbetting and has no need to worry about station sponsors. My link.

Maybe even your Federal MP, not sure if the new legislation would cover the handing out of promotion material.

I got a reply for the women who was supervising them. She was from Betezy

Basically she said that I was a liar, that my children and wife were also liars, that I had no credibility, that I was agressive and pretty much made up the whole story.

Very disappointing.... Wife in tears...... Oh well, them's the breaks.

Typical response.

I am glad you've pointed this out though.

It's something I'll watch carefully when I see them outside the ground and I'll give them a serious piece of my mind if I see it happen again.

And if they are, all it would take is a short video on an iPhone to put them in a lot of hot water.

Today Tonight or ACA would have a field day with it.

That's the way to do it. Film them on your mobile phone and down load it....solid evidence with not a leg to stand on.

Then contact talk back Radio and TV networks. Betting is a major problem the AFL do not want to know about yet.

Please don't let this one go ucanchoose. It is an absolutely terrible situation, but even worse given the response from them, and even worse seeing the companies own code of conduct. Something needs to happen about all this gambling advertising, it is so incredibly wrong on every level.

Just heard Dwayne Russel on 3AW ask a (clearly) young tallback caller if he was old enough to give him a beer prize, when the boy said no the idiot then offered him a betting voucher. Ok so made in jest (I hope) but seriously, what an idiot. Maybe he can write a kids book about how fun gambling is.

Good. I had my 3 minutes of fame. They even put a snippet on their news.

The matter is now under investigation by the appropriate authorities - that's about all that I can say about it.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
