CONDUCT UNBECOMING

Featured Replies

Posted

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!

 

AFL has set this up for failure...


Not guilty of Tanking

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


ok, we have accepted the sanctions..

What the eff? How are we found guilty?

We were found not guilty of tanking

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

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?!

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
