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.

    Yep I remember it all

    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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
