THE Western Bulldogs are at the centre of an explosive betting scandal in which punters, including some players, allegedly backed the Dogs to lose.
The Herald Sun understands the AFL is investigating claims some Dogs players were involved in a suspicious betting plunge on the Demons-Bulldogs match in Ballarat on 14 March.
Melbourne won by seven points.
It is believed up to ten people, including players, may have taken part in the suspicious betting.
One player in particular will be more seriously scrutinised.
An AFL spokesperson said the league’s policy was not to comment on integrity related matters.
More to come

Re: AFL to investigate claims some Western Bulldogs players allegedly backed team to lose
Any idea what potential sanctions would be in play if a player was found guilty? Anything re: integrity....

Re: AFL to investigate claims some Western Bulldogs players allegedly backed team to lose
Not sure. Didn't Collingwood hand out their own suspensions? I really don't care what they get suspended for it hurts the integrity of our club and if they were banned for 1/2 or the whole season then fine.

Ban for life if a player is caught betting to lose.

If a player was found guilty of backing their team to lose, then that would be a long, long ban.

Re: AFL to investigate claims some Western Bulldogs players allegedly backed team to lose
Doesn't make sense to me - we were massive underdogs.
Why bet on a preseason practice match?
Why bet on the short priced favourites in a practice match?
Why bet against your team when the only possible outcome is a lifetime suspension, like the Chicago White Sox who deliberately lost the 1919 World Series? Do the players not realize that every bet on AFL football is monitored by the AFL, and the betting agencies keep records of every person who lays a bet.Footscray member since 1980.
