How dumb. I'm speechless at the stupidity.

A lousy pre season game. Of all the mindless. Nothing. Idiots.

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.

I just needed a few minutes to check the sources myself. Is that really too much to ask for?

The Australian produced the article. Published it. They named the player. As has social media, other journos and now TV.

Anyway I'll stay out of it now. Just dumb and goodbye to the player involved.

Deep breath G

I was just confirming that GMo had actually posted the article if it wasn't clear. I just confirmed it. No doubt you have you too.

Bad news day now...

No need to speculate given a media source has now confirmed the player.

Players can only be educated so far on things like betting on games. Hard to say why players still do it but this won't sit well with many members unless something else comes to light. Melbourne and their supporters get a fair old whack for 'tanking games'. When a Bulldog player or more bets against us it's not a good image to portray especially when we are chasing members and sponsors.

My immediate reaction was "For ****s sake guys. Really? Really?"

This could cost us 3,000+ members. Money, sponsors, respect, good pr, good will, credibility.

Stupidity beyond words. I'm not sure if I'm upset or emotionally vacant again.
