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!

what a load of rubbish !!!

Not guilty of tanking...thats all i wanted to hear....and i heard it, woo hoo!

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

AFL has set this up for failure...

Not guilty of Tanking

$500,000.... has to be the most expensive joke of ALL TIME.

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

Not guilty of tanking. Connolly suspended for 12 months. Bailey suspended for 16 rounds. MFC fined $500,000.

What the eff? How are we found guilty?

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

If McDonald's employed somebody who was charged with murder, would McDonald's be punished? I don't think so.

ok, we have accepted the sanctions..

What the eff? How are we found guilty?

We were found not guilty of tanking

bizarre findings and fining.

caro and co. will have a field day with this.

IT'S OVER!!! Can we get on with playing footy now?

so restiNg players is a no-no....

someone better tell GWS ..freo and...WELL EVERY OTHER BLOODY CLUB..

We were found not guilty of tanking

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

KOTD

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?!
