Jon Ralph reports in today's HUN that the Melbourne tanking probe is to drag on longer, with February linked to possible outcome So the long running saga continues into 2013 as the AFL's intrepid investigators search dustbins and aging computer records to add to their smelly collection of red herrings while the Demons continue to defend their name in the face of a tedious Inquisition that must surely be setting sporting records. In fact, Melbourne now features on both sides of the ledger as far as VFL/AFL records for time wasting are concerned. Back in 1987 it took a nanosecond for umpire Howlett to blow the whistle and penalise the late Jim Stynes for that offence. The current AFL inquisition commenced on July 31 and, based on the information in Ralph's article, will have wasted six months of the AFL's time and substantial resources before it winds down and dies a natural death. During that time, the Melbourne Football Club will have turned over 15 players - a third of its list and former player Brock McLean, who started all this, will probably be President of the Carlton Football Club.
