One assumes that to receive a warning someone must have done something wrong. I have no problem that the AFL Integrity people checked up on the allegation - that's perfectly appropriate. But I can't see how Cheney did anything wrong...so why the warning? If I were Cheney I'd seriously be considering speaking to a defamation lawyer as the warning suggests wrongdoing and unfairly tarnishes his reputation.

Any wonder ol Vlad did a runner.... the AFL is in deep doo doo

That's why we were "not" done for tanking. Because of the flow-on implications with outside agencies.

Looks like the AFL have their very own Brock McLean. I wonder if Cheney will come home to find his tyres slashed and his dog poisoned with a figure looking very much like Gil "The Dealmaker" furtively disappearing around a corner.

Not quite. I've now read the article in the Herald Sun. (It was behind a paywall, so have read the print edition. If you have a subscription, you can find the article here). Mick Warner has extrapolated some nondescript comments from the gambling regulator which said, in effect, they might look to see whether possibly, there might be an off-chance that they could, conceivably, be interested in perhaps wondering whether there might, or might not be, anything that they could, possibly investigate...or not.

That, apparently, passes for journalistic integrity and qualifies for the back page. Of course, by now the Commission may have made up its mind and decided to formally investigate. If that's the case, I'll look like a goose.

They are probably sick of the AFL being a law unto itself and whitewashing issues to suit the 'spin' it wants to put out there, be it tanking, be it the Talia boys.

But they have chosen a 'small fry' issue to take the AFL to task on.

If EFC players are found guilty by CAS the State gambling watchdog would have a case for investigating AFL, EFC et al!!!!

Of course we know that will not happen: neither side of politics have the stomach for it!

Thanks 'La Dee'...seems like some of the news services have picked up and run with it as well. Nothing like checking sources I guess.
