Getting a quote from Fevola about betting on games.
What is this, The onion?

  • he’s a gambling addict
  • Carlton deliberately lost games.
  • It’s rumoured that he deliberately missed goals for the benefit of people spot betting.

To be fair on him, Connor McKenna is back in town so he’s probably following him to see if he blows his nose.

Following the West Coast / Margetts model. Sydney have asked if they can continue to have 3 for home games & Collingwood have requested their traditional venality for ANZAC Day.

Apologies to all the AFL reporters. I believe I have treated them unjustly and unfairly…. And they don’t deserve that.

:roll_eyes:

ā€œAFL Integrity Unitā€ - FFS.

ā€œAFLā€ and ā€œintegrityā€ in the same sentence is so farking wrong on so many levels.

Seriously fark this competition.

Has anyone of these AFL journalists asked Cardinal George Pell for a comment ?

I know you’re taking the ā– ā– ā– ā– , but their band/fines are all over the place.

This is from 2010

The AFL confirmed goal umpire Chris Appleton had been stood down for the remainder of the 2010 season for placing four bets worth $60 on the game.

Appleton did not officiate in the match.

In other betting breaches:

  • The Western Bulldogs were fined $7500 after club director Geoff Walsh was found to have placed bets;

  • Port Adelaide assistant coach Matthew Primus was suspended for two weeks for placing a $20 multi-bet including a NAB Cup match;

  • Two interchange stewards were stood down for the rest of the season - one for placing a bet on a match he officiated in and;

  • A timekeeper was stood down for five weeks over a $5 bet.

The AFL will work to sweep the second under the rug, if it happened.

On the first, how stupid do you have to be to bet correctly on all of those games? Mix it up with some losses. Figuring out who was the corrupt official would have been child’s play.

The third headache, is that if he was willing to do this, what else was he willing to do? Did he deliberately try and skew match results because of betting during the year, or was it only passing on the inside knowledge of who had what Brownlow votes.

Spyglass share sell off was not insider trading, confirmed by Vlad’s affidavit.

Ahhh yes.

I have enjoyed Tom Browne going through each of Pell’s 2022 matches with a fine-tooth comb, to find any potential corruption.
