[vic_orthdox]

A weighty issue for the club, better than him being caught with a kilo of coke I guess.

 

[Spikey]

Tanking affair: AFL to lift the lid on Melbourne's 'vault'

THE AFL has uncovered a secret meeting involving at least 10 members of the Melbourne football department in which coaches were reminded of the importance of forfeiting matches in order to gain early draft picks.

 

[benchmark00]

Gotta admire a team like Richmond who can lose on their own merits without having to deliberately throw matches.

 

[Jono]

Man Melbourne screwed up here. So many teams have tanked and have not been stupid enough to make it clear that they were doing so.

Would be hilarious if Brock McLean and Dean Bailey took down the club after leaving through their comments, lol.

 

[Redbacks]

The AFL have to take some blame for putting their heads in the sand over the issue for too long. It was a case of it being totally irrational for Melbourne to not have had such a meeting due to the rewards on offer for failure.

 

[benchmark00]

Wouldn't happen in the SANFL.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I'm done with footy.

Reports say Israel Folau leaving the Giants and AFL. Will return to the NRL next season.

Devastating for the code, losing one of its biggest names. Hopefully the AFL can draw on players from overseas competitions to fill that void.

Oh.

 

[benchmark00]

Yeah it's a shame that it looks like he's not going to see out his contract, but at the end of the day he's more than paid his way through advertising for the code. Just disappointing that the AFL couldn't get even more mileage out of him.

 

[Burgey]

It would have been good if he'd kicked on, there's a massive Maori/ Islander demographic in western Sydney and elsewhere for whom he could have blazed a decent trail.

Wonder where he'll end up in the NRL? I'm tipping he'll want half a mil to play on the wing, so no doubt my mob will buy him, and because Sandow is half back he'll never get the ****ing ball anyway.

 

[Jono]

Yeah it hasn't been a fail by the AFL, but wasn't as much a success that it looked like it was originally going to be.

Good on him though, couldn't handle not being the best (or in fact, any good) at something just for the money. Wanted to do what he does best, play rugby league.

Folau set to quit AFL, Eels lie in wait

Good point made there re: GWS now likely to get Tippett.
