Rumour Busted Betting scandal rumour busted.

[pantskyle]

I can officially 100% confirm that it is true. Shit is about to hit the fan in the AFL and the Pies in a HUGE way.

Seriously can't tell if serious or sarcasm.

 

[blackbetty14]

is there more information at hand at the current point in time or just "something big is about to hit the Pies etc. blah blah blah...."

 

[Hoos]

McGuire suggested players could be given a period at the end of the 2019 season to confess to gambling problems without facing disciplinary action from the AFL — in a bid to stop them from being vulnerable to approaches from organised crime.

The cynic in me is thinking that's just Eddie's plan you get his own players, himself and his club off the hook.

I heard the story is so massive that Mason Cox tried to gouge his own eyes out just so he didn’t have to read about it.

Kind of comes across that it is and has been a known problem in the club. So club can't be 'shocked'when story breaks.

We should have asked you in the first place, pants.

Is it wrong that I'm getting some kind of perverse pleasure out of this?

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

So can all of those confirming this is 100% true advise of when this is going to hit the media?

 

[00Stinger]

Beams heavily involved apparently

No, it is natural to get pleasure from interacting with me.

[SmAshmoto]

Hearing this as well in country Vic now.

Good news travels quick, bad news travels quicker...

 

[Harvey Leadpipe]

A bloke through work who loves gossip just mentioned it too. He's got a few wrong in the past, but to his credit he nailed the Essendon peptides, Didak guns, Nick Stevens wife bashing and Kav/O'Brien cobalt horse racing scandals before they broke (as he's just reminded me).

One things for certain, whether it's bullshit or not, if it's on Bigfooty, Barrett and Ralph will both be reporting it as if they've uncovered the whole thing.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

A certain Nth Melb recruit who is is currently not playing also has gambling issues. It’s rampant.

 

[AlorraVex]

This is spreading like wildfire, haha.

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

I can officially 100% confirm that it is true. s**t is about to hit the fan in the AFL and the Pies in a HUGE way.

I'm full pants off, this is huge.

 

[ubuntu]

I'm full pants off, this is huge.

I'm pants at the ankles, too excited to go the full monty

 

[burge13]

What's the rumour? Hasn't made it's way across my desk so can't confirm it's 100% true yet

 

[Tiger V]

yeah it's happening to me as well

 

[conrad_437]

What's the rumour? Hasn't made it's way across my desk so can't confirm it's 100% true yet

Supposedly up to 10 Collingwood players are 'embroiled' in a betting scandal (betting on Pies games pretty much), and could end up in suspensions and the pies kicked out of finals. Doubt it's true but would be a massive story.

 

[Hoos]

Has anyone still got their pants on?

 

[Ocker]

heard this last night as well.

extraordinary claims.


A mate raised a interesting point though, does this make Eddie's comments about having a amnesty back when the Stephenson case broke a bit more interesting?

Eddie’s AFL ‘organised crime’ fears

Eddie McGuire fears AFL players will be pushed into the clutches of organised crime over the AFL’s anti-gambling policy.

www.news.com.au

The Collingwood president even called for the AFL to investigate an “amnesty” period for players to come forward and self report their gambling issues in order to get them out in the open.

McGuire suggested players could be given a period at the end of the 2019 season to confess to gambling problems without facing disciplinary action from the AFL — in a bid to stop them from being vulnerable to approaches from organised crime.

Ed can see the walls closing in methinks..

 

[Beerfish]

And we've got the mother of a Collingwood player on the line. Let's call her Sarah. G'day Sarah I understand you'd like to talk about your son's gambling problem and the environment at Collingwood? Go for it.

 

[Ocker]

Which is why Eddie will ensure that it doesn't break until after the Finals.

No chance Ed
