If what Damien Barrett has reported is correct - then it's not actually that bad.

Can't believe I'm watching the Footy Show, but here we are.

FFC listed player using Lachlan's account for the multi - plausible?

What is really bugging me is the betting against your own team aspect. That makes it so much more serious on a number of levels than merely backing yourself (your team) to win.

Ozza, I don't watch it. From what he said, what makes you feel that ?

$10 multi placed by the VFL listed player using Lachie's betting account. Lachie was made aware of this half way through the Melbourne/Bulldogs game and alerted the club straight away.

Apparently.

Also Lachie is currently serving a 4 week leadership group imposed suspension for showing up late to a recovery session after NAB one.

Effective way to get a good player out of strife.

A friend used my account is a likely story. Good luck getting out of this one Lachie. For the clubs sake I hope this is actually true.

It needs to be true now. If in a weeks time skilled investigators have gotten differing stories and worked out its a lie, then you add lying to the AFL, the club and to betting on your team to lose. That's instant dismissal stuff. So it needs to be true now.

If true, it's usually family member or housemate who would jump onto a computer. Certainly stupid if true, far worse if a lie.

That's one way of looking at it (a view I'd share TBH)

So the story from the boys is that a footscray player has had a $10 multi on Melbourne to win along with several other 'legs' (eg soccer matches) on Lachie's account. Lachie was made aware of it at half time in the game- and reported it to the club.

Whilst I would suspect there's an element of bs in their story- reportedly the footscray player will be going in to the afl with a stat dec tomorrow.

If that all stacks up then I'd say the papers have turned this into a hugely disproportionate story.

Apparently the VFL listed player is willing to sign a stat dec saying he placed the bet.
It's time young Lachie grew up and realised that rocking up late to recovery and this betting scandal will equate to a potentially short AFL career

Good that the leadership group is strong...but must admit my initial reaction to a 4 week penalty for being 15 mins late is heavy handed.

Guess it's the right time of the year to be heavy handed.
