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

[boydogs]

I don't understand what's wrong with reporting something to the AFL integrity commission

If there's nothing in it, they say there's nothing in it. No-one dies

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.

That level of detail is staggering.

If what has been suggested is true then the Talias were telling the association porkies, which is absolutely what you do NOT do to anyone advocating on your behalf.

Then it sounds like that would be their preferred course of action.

Presuming Talia was the source of the information...

The AFLPA, I'm pretty sure, said the two people talking were family/brothers. How many brothers are there between our two sides?

Sorry SoS you lost me at social media.

I still don't believe it, how could he ever look his Grandad in the eye. Sorry just can't have it.

We still kicked 20 points.

Doesn't mean they are necessarily the sole source of information. As I hear it, Talia is not the only party being investigated.

Isn't woof a form of social media?

You're funny.

Another player or person from the club ?

Another player or person from the club ?

Potentially.

From what I have heard, the club believe that on game day Adelaide pulled moves that led them to suspect that Crows had prior knowledge (some of which Talia didn't have access to). They have investigated this and taken it to the AFL integrity unit.

The whole Talia/Cheney/Stratton/Lake/Bevo scenario blew up after the club had instigated initial investigations.

Weird thing is Talia is in Bali at present with a bunch of teammates. that's got to be awkward.

Whole story is way strange and will get stranger.

From the Hun this morning:

TACTICAL details about Jake Stringer’s role in the Western Bulldogs’ finals loss to Adelaide are at the centre of the AFL integrity unit investigation into the Talia brothers.

The Bulldogs have asked the league to investigate claims Dogs defender Michael Talia passed on positional and tactical information about All-Australian Stringer and at least one other player to his brother, Adelaide Crows player Daniel Talia, in the lead-up to the seven-point elimination final loss this month.

The Talia brothers spoke in the week prior to the game — as they regularly do — and had a discussion the AFL Players Association said on Wednesday did not include any sensitive disclosures.

Pretty soon going to run out of travelling mates in Bali it seems. Maybe he'll end up on one of those worlds dangerous holidays shows. This is getting worse and worse, passing on this level of detail is akin to giving Monty Rommel's GPS co-ords at Kasserine Pass.

[Throughandthrough]

So if reports are correct that the Talia brothers are angels, and / or D Talia didn't tell anyone anything that M Talia may or may not have told him, how the hell did K Cheney also know something then? The "we know nothing" story has more holes than Swiss cheese.
