Maybe the AFL might do well to look at Brennan as well particuarly the Q-clash last season when he choked
The whole story smacks of someone trying to make a buck to feed his drug addiction. During our reign illicit drugs weren't tested and I can say that half the players in the competition where doing some and the percentage at our club would've been no different. As for the match fixing/spot fixing claims it's crap. The only thing that ever raised eyebrows was the Merrett first goal (which I got at $21 thankyou), when it was common knowledge he would start forward because of injuries to our key forwards. It's also pretty hard to spot fix that because you need to get the opposition in on it as well.
Exactly my thinking.
Just trying to put myself into the shoes of the man who made the allegations.
Why would he make these accusations at a club his has family at, knowing the damage it could cause?
I dare not comment about the family situation as its not my or anyone business to discuss someone else family situation, but the question still remains.
More importantly, why now?
Fairly simple. All sport has been slugged with massive criminal and corruption allegations. Easiest way to get your name and gain 15 minutes of fame.
What evidence?
I think its plain to see, very little in the way of evidence or any credibility of sources. Now I am not a fancy city lawyer, but surely a lack of any credible evidence as the basis of an article must lead to slander. Its tabloid journalism.
Also, anyone else notice all those Brisbane Broncos membership signs outside the Gabba in the last few weeks? Well we all know who owns the Broncs..... and hires journalists like Hammo.
News Ltd, tabloid journalism articles, slande, this conspiracy is too big for me.... I think we need to call in the Hardley Boys....
