      Guys. I have removed two posts. The first one speculated on a players name and the other quoted that post.

      Do not speculate on players names without supplying a link from the media. If the papers have avoided naming players then we should follow that lead.

          I thought Shocktober was finished. This is stupid as it is devastating if true. As stupid as it is unnecessary. As stupid as it is stupid.

          I'd hate to lose a player over this. But if he were a Pakistani cricketer I'd be saying ban for life. So to be fair, if found guilty, ban the player for life.

                Apparently self reported? That's something I guess.....

                    THE AFL is embroiled in another controversy with a Western Bulldogs player under investigation for betting on football.

                    Less than three days after Fremantle announced that their player Ryan Crowley was facing the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal after testing positive on match day last year for a banned substance contained in a painkiller, the league has been made aware of a player breaching the code’s strict anti-gambling rules.

                    Bulldogs player Lachie Hunter is believed to be the subject of an AFL integrity probe.

                    The Australian has been told that an AFL-listed player as well another top-up player reported to the Bulldogs they had bet on football.

                    It is believed the AFL’s integrity unit is investigating one match in particular where Melbourne defeated the Dogs by seven points in a NAB Challenge game last Saturday.

                    While the integrity team is investigating the matter, the Bulldogs have been requested by the league to defer their own inquiries until an AFL investigation is completed.

                    The club also notified the chair of its own ethics and integrity sub-committee of the league’s betting probe and the sub-committee has also agreed to defer its probe.

                    In a statement to The Australian last night a Bulldogs spokesman said: “The players who self reported have co-operated fully in the AFL investigation. The club will make no further comment at this time.”

                    The investigation by the league began last weekend after Dogs general manager of football operations Graham Lowe informed AFL integrity department chief Brett Clothier of the developments.

                    The club would not confirm the names of players involved.

                      Check the link from Twitter to the Australian. They name and show a photo of Lachie Hunter and an unnamed top up player.

                        Google the article headline (betting investigation over AFL player) and you can read it.

                        After reading it, not sure what's stronger - my fury or sadness.

                              GMo put the actual word for word The Australian article on. I confirmed it, hence why I mentioned the player and that they used a file photo.
