Funny that this would get another run just before Gold Coast get a priority pick. Can't wait to be lectured about how it's karma for something that we did 10 years ago, when nobody but Nathan Jones and the bootstudder are left.

Also, this line is a flat out fabrication based on the transcripts the Herald Sun posted earlier in the year. Nowhere in the two transcripts they put up does he say this:

The Hun doing something unethical? Perish the thought!

I remember 16 years ago being pulled out of a train wreck outside Ballan (one that was said to have looked like another Granville and that was deemed miraculous in that no one was killed). Complete with an arm that turned purple from the bruising from the injury I had just copped, the first thing I was greeted with after emerging from the overturned carriage was a Herald Sun reporter sticking a mike in my face. 

Charming people.

Always amazed me that Richmond never got done. They were far more blatant at Tanking. Wallace admitted it in interviews. 

Said he did nothing in the coaches box at times, so that they would lose, in order to get Cotchin

Wilson never said a word though in the Aged...

Carlton? It was the worst kept secret they tanked for 3 years, everyone knew it and noone cared. Collingwood, Hawthorn, West Coast etc etc

Agree Dr. But Wallace as Coach, actually said it, and as you say. Noone cared...

Yeah so did Libba Snr when he was an assistant at Carlton, used the words 'we were trying not to win'. No action taken on them either.

Wallace was the Senior Coach and NOTHING happened

Bailey was treated like a Convicted man

From memory we had a media deal with the HUN until the early/mid 2000s then switched to the big paper, and had Martin Blake embedded in the club for a couple of seasons and he wrote some great articles. Anyway when the tanking mess started the HUN went very hard like they had a vendetta, from us changing a few years before. Surprisingly when Essendon got done for drugs the HUN had a media deal and tried as hard as they could to get them off.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
