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.

    • 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.
