    I was so thrilled when I heard Hardie was coming back to us. Then hurt for a 2nd time when announced he wouldn't be playing for us. Hated the AFL for that & was convinced of a conspiracy theory by the governing body to destabilise us.

    Edited for accuracy. Never hear the media referencing Lance Armstrong or Chinese swimmers or Russian athletes being involved in a 'supplements saga'

    Scandals
    Jon Dorotich - the club managed to have a charge of "wilful and obscene exposure" against him moved to a midnight hearing at the Prahran Magistrate's Court.

    There have been a few of those. One player drove through a red light at midnight and killed two people in the car he hit. Can you remember any league footballer ever going to jail or even reading about a court case regarding it? It's just one of many.

    SEN are reporting that Jordan De Goey has apparently been caught drink driving.
    Not a huge scandal but it will attract some attention.

    If (much) older Bulldogs are to be believed there was an in-house scandal involving a certain player and another player's wife. Time frame the 1950's. I am to young to remember, but have heard it from several sources. Can't vouch for the authenticity.

    Wasn't this (allegedly) why the 1954 team didn't stay together?

    There's also a similar story about two players in the early 2000's, one of whom was a 7 time best and fairest.
