Rumour Busted Betting scandal rumour busted.

[Slats]

Collingwood should be stripped of their premiership from last year.

 

[Quivorir]

We don’t bother with beds, after you s**t them 27 times easier to sleep on the toilet.

Can confirm.

 

[Grave Danger]

That's still seen as an ongoing issue? Eddie hasn't mentioned it publicly for nigh on 15 years...

15 weeks maybe:

McGuire suggests Port Adelaide should be "creative" with "prison bar" jumper

Port Adelaide wants to wear the "prison bar" jumper to celebrate its 150th anniversary.

Meh, wear it I say. Who really cares?!

 

[W. Smithers]

I saw the players making the bets, and one of them waved at me

 

[unplugged]

Got a mate at the Herald Sun, said all this came across their desks late yesterday and have confirmed their sources today.

Running with the story at 3pm. Stay tuned.


So stoked, this really tickles my anti-Collingwood bone, get that up ya Eddy.

There's absolutely no way they'd sit on this for 12 hours and miss getting an "EXCLUSIVE"

That and I doubt anyone at the Herald Sun has a mate.

 

[Beerfish]

Meh, wear it I say. Who really cares?!

Eddie does.

 

[Connor7395]

I actually can't even tell if this is a real rumour or an elaborate lie just to stir shit. Somebody fill me in.

Have heard this in the last hour.

Forget the fact that it derails collingwoods season (if true).

How much money do the clubs and the AFL receive from betting agency revenue?

Juxtapose this to the fact that the government also tips in a tidy sum, this has the potential to change, and potentially cripple the image of the game.

The afl choose the easy option every single time.... they will have to decide (again, if true), whether they can sweep it under the rug, or if it’s past that point, and coming clean is the easier choice.

If true, devils advocate says:
Gil - gone
Gaming revenue, and by extension advertising - gone
Collingwoods window for the next 3-5 years - gone.
Multiple avenues of funding - gone.
Grassroots and junior development also takes a massive hit, as who’d want their kids involved in this kind of game?

It almost sounds too big to be true, and I’m well and truly putting the horse before the cart, but if it is true, my god, there will be another 12-24 months ruined by off field drama, easily a bigger story than Essendon cheating in 2012, and Carlton in the late 90’s.

Shouldn't need a scandal to get rid of gambling takeover. I hope it isn't true. I do want to see Gil and gaming revenue gone though. it's gone way too far. The silent creeper, choking the life out of young men and giving loads of money to disgusting individuals and crime syndicates.

I demand a public hanging.

Every BigFooty rumour is true.

 

[james Dean]

The player waved at you? Get me superintendent Chalmers on the phone

 

[TimothyJ23]

If it wasn't obvious enough it's fake news, this should put it to bed

 

[Slats]

Collingwood Football Club should be de-registered.

[Unknown Identity]

Any chance of sharing the list?

Yep if he was on there no chance it’s true

Beams
Pendles

Sidebottom

Howe
Elliott
Goldsack
Dunn
Greenwood

That and I doubt anyone at the Herald Sun has a mate.

From what he's told me, these are serious allegations with massive implications for the AFL. They had to do their due diligence before running with it.

 

[Damon_3388]

Eddie does.

Does he speak for everyone?

 

[Unknown Identity]

Collingwood should be stripped of their premiership from last year.

*Preliminaryship

Get it right ya campaigner.

You have mates ?

 

[DapperJong]

This will confirm Collingwood's status as a big club.

Probably the only other club in the league that will be able to survive having half the team banned for a year.

 

[Beerfish]

Does he speak for everyone?

He speaks for the Collingwood football club.

This makes no sense - Howe literally dobbed Stevo in.

Literally just seems like the same paragraph has been copy and pasted into whats app groups around the country.

Would be pretty easy these days to get a rumour going, this shit spreads like wildfire now.

Not buying it until a journo with some level of reputability runs with it.
