And people laugh at me when I bring up match fixing

I don’t believe there’s match fixing. But when AFL players cop 11-week suspensions for $5 bets, and here we have the head of the AFL telling his wife (and who knows who else) Bont wasn’t gonna win, surely we have a problem? Who else does he confide results in? What else has he told them? Did he tell a few mates Cripps was heading for 40+ votes that was probably paying 50-1?

It’s staggering that this has become a ‘nothing to see here’ story.

Horse will need time off work if that happens.

A bloke I used to work with had time off work for the loss of at least 4 grannys.

Horse longmire going for his 4th granny loss

which coach has the most granny loses? will it be longmire break it if he loses?

 

[Meteoric Rise]

which coach has the most granny loses? will it be longmire break it if he loses?

The most GF losses amongst coaches:

9 James "Jock" McHale
7 Richard "Dick" Reynolds
5 Frank "Checker" Hughes, Thomas "Tom" Hafey, Allan Jeans
4 Ronald "Ron" Barassi, Michael "Mick" Malthouse, Alphonsus "Phonse" Kyne
3 Kevin Sheedy, John Longmire, Malcolm Blight, Norman "Hackenscmidt" Clarke, Ross Lyon, John "Jack" Bissett, Robert "Bob" Rose

Longmire has a long way to go to get the record, and will have even further to go when he wins on Saturday.

It is amazing of all these guys only Allan Jeans, Kevin Sheedy, John Longmire, Malcolm Blight and Ross Lyon are commonly known by their actual names.

Just a note about the former great coach Frank Hughes. If you didn't refer to him as Frank "Checker" Hughes nobody would have a clue who you were referring to. It suddenly occurred to me what a curious nickname "Checker" is. So I delved.

"By this stage the nickname Checker was already well established, coined by a mate's little sister. Whenever Hughes visited their house, the young girl would beckon him to lift her to see their checkered pigeons by saying: "Checker? Checker?" "

Hmmm...little did she know they were almost certainly spotted doves. Frank "Spotter" Hughes would have been an equally curious and charismatic nickname I feel. Big sliding doors moment in football history then.

Match fixing is a crime. Please report to the nearest police station, tell them your paranoid fantasy, and watch as they laugh in your face.

dude definitely pick the wrong team to go to..and now he is just a bystander watching from the side lines

The most games coached without losing a Grand Final is in fact.....Damien Hardwick with 314.

The most games coached without reaching a Grand Final is indeed Mr K Hinkley, 259. Brad Scott is a sleeper in this market, only 10 games behind Hinkley, has not even ever beaten a top 4 team in a final(Ken has, twice.)

The most Grand Final losses without winning one, R Lyon 3, B Rose 3.

Hard to loose when you never make it

 

[panatha1908]

Don't think this will happen.

However, Mr Bean is a captain ... He could organise our forward movement / structures (did someone say Kmart Podsiadly).

Like JR8 won't be much kack slowing a ball coming out. Kosi way better at this.

I don't mind Mcbean coming in. As captain you would think he has good leadership, and he could also provide his example where for whatever reason his afl career didn't work out, maybe help anyone not as motivated see how quickly it can be taken away. Surely mcbean is better than the last rookie list spot.

But funny if the karaoke machine blows up during the performance. Be looking around what to do.
