Jon Ralph in the sun today quotes Libba and Fev saying " yes we tanked" and giving examples. Brock never actually said we tanked. That was enough to start the ball rolling again. This is stronger la

AA is now gone.

Everyone at the AFL now realises where trail blazing leaves you.

What about blatant discrimination in the treatment of one club in respect to another. Where does that leave you?

A former Carlton premiership player, interviews a former Carlton assistant Coach, hears the allegations and says no case. The Chairman of the AFL is a former Carlton Premiership captain.

The assistant Coach repeats the allegations, on the same channel that Brock appeared on and to the same interviewer, is corroborated by the former club leading goal kicker, Fev, in his book and in the papers and nothing happens.

Not good 'Redleg',but they do make it up on the run as we're just about to see with Essendon.

The result I draw from that Redleg is I should buy a Blues membership in 2014 not a dees one!

We have no hope.

I better get with the strength.

I wouldn't blame the AFL for turning a blind eye.

We can't risk damaging the reputation of the AFL anymore - whats done is done but that doesn't mean it can't be prevented in the future

Turning a blind eye, playing favourites and selectively applying their rules is what damages their reputation.

Sheahan: 2008, you're back in the headlines for implying strongly that Carlton hasn't been trying in certain games, at the height of the tanking issue. You backed away from that did you not?

Libba: No I didn't back away from that. Players will always try on the football ground..

S: That's a given.

L: Yep, so that's the misconception about tanking..they were managed in a different way. Now, I still believe that's something that occurred. I mean, we had things that were put in place. We had players who at the time were told, "don't play for the rest of the year, the last three of four games, you've got an injured shin", or whatever. And to me that's tanking, isn't it?

S: Well, let's be clear here. I agree with you that no-one, even those of us who thought tanking existed have ever said the players weren't trying. What we say tanking is, is a football club constructing a team that won't play at its best, by either leaving blokes out, playing them in odd positions or taking them off the ground.

L: Well that's it then.

S: Did that happen at Carlton?

L: Yes.

S: So, for clarity here, you're saying that when you were at Carlton, there were days when Carlton weren't doing everything in their power to play at their best.

L: If you're pulling players off the ground, Brendan Fevola at certain times, then I'd say yes.

S: Did the AFL come to you and explore those claims?

L: Yes.

S: Did you stand firm on that or did you back away?

L: Um, did I back away? I spoke to Rod Austin who was working at the time for the AFL. I gave him an interview of what I saw, and that was it. Then he basically just said "thanks for that", and then the next thing you hear it's via the newspapers, Carlton didn't tank. *shrugs*

S: So your view is still clear in your mind that there were times when Carlton didn't do everything in their power to win the game of footy, which we would call tanking.

L: If you want to use that word, or "list management".

If they are not investigated by Haddad and Clothier like we were on the back of this I'm just about ready to give away the game (AFL anyway). I realise that will hurt MFC more than it hurts the AFL but it just an absolute disgrace that this admission/perception can be made/stated and nothing is done compared to what we had to go through.

Libba was interviewed by Curly Austin. Says it all.

What a total disgrace.

The AFL under Vlad is in a huge mess. Whilst he enjoys yearly overseas sojurns...

Its a joke isn't it, the guys a Carlton life member.

Unfortunately for us I think AA actually thought the AFL meant it when they talked of integrity. Silly Adrian, unfortunate us.

Integrity seems to be the last stand when all else fails a little bit like Essendons talk of natural justice.

    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,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
