    Re: Western Bulldogs bring in AFL to investigate 'leak' to Adelaide Crows

    He culture of our club stands on loyalty. If anyone has leaked sensitive game day information, particularly in regard to a final, they cannot be trusted. If it is proven that Talia leaked that information he will not and should not play for us again. If we get nothing for him that is appropriate, that is his worth. If no other club takes him that too is appropriate.

    He really is, he makes a fool of himself every time he weighs into an issue. Watching him discuss issues relating to Essendon you'd swear it was a spoof of some old footy club relic played by a comedic satirist.

    "This whole thing is just heavy handed. You just go to Michael Talia and you say to him, mate this is really poor form, you abused the trust of this organisation. You don't hand it over to the AFL integrity unit," Watson told SEN radio.
    The 22-year-old defender is expected to be traded by the Bulldogs after 30 games in four season at the club.
    "You sort it out yourself, it's your club problem, it's a trust problem, it's an internal problem," Watson said.

    And in Watson's next breath he'd expect us all to believe that most at Essendon were completely unaware of what their scientist was up to with their players.

    I'm not a huge fan of Watson's commentary. Until he has more detail I'm not sure it's fair of him to say we should have kept it internal. Well, maybe that's what they would have done at Essendon. But we are not sure of the facts, and to pass it to the AFL would depend on how much, and in what way information was passed on.

    When Talia steps into the men's locker room, it's going to be a tad tense I imagine.

    So is that the end of that, then?

    Edit: no, that's just the Players' Association, not the Integrity Unit. As you were.

    If they have both lied to the Players association, then what.

    Tim Watson would defend Charles Manson if he'd played for Essendon .

    Hearing around social media the depth of the leak and it is astounding. Planned rotations, set plays and running patterns based on mismatches created inside 50 etc. The alleged level of detail is striking. Similar to an NFL team having their playbook stolen.

    This is making me feel sick... Please remind me that we lost this game because we didn't kick straight...

    And I still believe we lost that game ourselves.
    If what's being said is true we should have won by 100 points without them knowing or they should have knowing the plan.
    They mustn't be too good as coaches if they only beat us in the dying minutes with that information.
    Bring back the biff

    As do I, for all that we still had more than enough opportunity to win the game off our own boot.

    I think we need to separate the issue of the win/loss from the act itself which is inexcusable behaviour in a professional environment.
