Tune in to SEN now - KB to bring up tanking sanctions for Melb.

If they take away our draft picks...then we are stuffed.

 

Surely nothing will happen! My god if we lose our draft picks then we are actually done. Say goodnight MFC


Yes. I have to agree. If the AFL strip us of draft picks over this issue, then that is it. We are finished.

Interesting week.

Hope he announces sanctions for Richmond at the same time, Wallace admitted to tanking for Cotchin

 

Patrick Smith is losing the argument. Thanks to all the Melbourne people that have rung up and flogged him with logic.

We've already been punished! We got Scully with that coveted number 1 pick and look where that got us.


A team of 20 QCs could not prove that we threw games .

"Tanking" is more of an issue in Sports betting.

Picking a development side ahead of a best side available is entirely different to tanking .

This is merely a Melbourne bashing exercise by the press .They cant get enough of it .

Bring it on [censored].

I'm comfortable with us copping our fair whack as long as Carlton do to. Anything we did to lose, they did better.

Exactly right, if we get any form of punishment then it sets a precedent for Carlton and even Richmond to an extent.

Snowball effect

There is no way this can be proved, and if there ever were sanctions, there would be a lot of other teams going down with us.

Brock went from the apprentices to the masters.

He played in the 'Kreuzer Cup' match, Round 22, 2007 and would have seen the Blues' methods. If he's got a real concern about the ethics of tanking, he would have chosen not to go to Carlton.

The interesting thing would be if DB names names ........goodbye Schwabb Connolly and the Board. Meanwhile McLardy is talking about Cloke!! Yesterday presumably, but this bloke is out of his depth

And don't forget Collingwood. Picking up a priority pick in 2005 wasn't an accident.

There won't be any sanctions. It would open up a can of worms that the AFL can ill afford to do.

Carlton won the grand slam of tanking in 2007 when it lost its last eleven games including the Kreuzer Cup when Travis Johnstone was allowed to roam around the ground unchecked to collect 42 possessions.

Collingwood won their priority picks in 2005 in unusual circumstances when they begam "list managing" players well before the end of the season.

What about the Bulldogs who dropped Matthew Croft for the last game of a season after he kicked five goals. That's not tanking?

Let them investigate those first.

West Coast ?

I was informed by a then Carlton board member about three weeks before that game that the Blues had Judd in the bag and that they needed to give WCE the best possible trade to swing the deal. With a grin he then said that Fevola wouldn't be playing again that season and he didn't.

Croft, didn't he sue for that, he had a kicker in his contract for more $ or another season if he played X amount of games that seaon?

As someone said earlier, Jim Stynes is the elephant in the room.

Now that would be an explosive allegation.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
