The decision of the Australian Farce League ...

Since Terry Wallace is no longer employed by an AFL club, he can escape investigation and suspension but the Richmond Football Club clearly was his employer when h admitted to not trying to win a game, Now that the precedent has been set, I suppose they will also cop a $500k fine for conduct unbecoming.

And the investigation of the Carlton Football Club for conduct unbecoming will also be announced shortly.

Oh ... and pigs can fly too!

    We have accepted the fine. Question. How do we get fined for "employing" someone?

    This is a Kangaroo Court. I feel very sorry for CC, but in particular Dean Bailey. This has been constructed to suit.

    Also, if the club is not guilty why are we being fined rather than personal fines for Bails and Cuddles?

    Why they still fine Melbourne that much amount is beyond me?

    Setting an example and to incourage greater controll of football culbs and their employees... a theme which will be seen over the whole year with Essendon and other clubs with drugs

    I nearly cried of laughing when the first person to ask a question was Caroline Wilson asking why DB's head wasn't rolling

    As time has shown the MFC always rolls over.

    Words beyond that fail me at present

    Then why are we being fined? Because we allowed it to happen? Load of crap, the AFL is being torn apart by the media right now

    Bailey and Conolly have both rolled over, sadly we had little choice here and have got off lightly.

    A staunch Bailey may have lead to a different outcome.

    "All I can talk to is the evidence presented beofre me."

    Sounds like Gillon is open to other clubs investigated?

    on the AFL's website it says 'Melbourne fined $500K, Dean Bailey and Chris Connolly banned over tanking" as the subheading to the link to the article?!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
