AFL to investigate claims some Western Bulldogs players allegedly backed team to lose

Re: AFL to investigate claims some Western Bulldogs players allegedly backed team to lose

Cracking point there by Steveo. If one guy is in Melbourne and the other in Ballarat, how could they communicate with each other? Like it's ridiculous to think either has super power voice to travel that distance or hearing perhaps (or even a combination of super power voice and hearing that would take half the distance each). Either way, all ridiculous suggestions that highlight how absurd it would possibly be for a guy in Ballarat to be able to communicate with a guy in Melbourne.

If Hunter self reported during the NAB game in Ballarat then someone got a message to him.

Maybe the top up guy realised what he'd done and rang Lochie and informed him. I have a mate in Ballarat that I ring all the time.

That's the interview I was talking about earlier.

That's the interview I was talking about earlier.

Just maybe, by Lachie self reporting the indiscretion, supported by a signed stat dec by half-time, suggests that club inductions around gambling may be working well. Naivety is part of growing up. Give him a break. If he doesn't learn from this and ***t keeps happening, well so be it, sack him.

If only someone could invent a hand held communication advice that was able to mystically send messages through the air to someone who wasn't even in the same room. And imagine the fancy if that thing also allowed you to have a little punt! #notinmylifetime

Sort of like a telephone but more mobile......

Either you neglected to throw in some sarcasm emoticons....or this is far from your best work Rocco. I hope it's the former.

We really need more information at this stage on how come another person was using his account and the circumstances around the self reporting.

It could be a joint account, probably others use it as well. There is about 5 - 6 guys at work that have one account and they take it turns of placing bets. Not saying this is the case but it is a scenario.

For mine there's a lot of hysteria flying around about this.

I have inadvertently bid for an item on ebay, not realise I was logged in to someone elses account.
It's easy to happen in a share house or with shared devices.
It seems Lachy has realised what's happened , thought to himself "holy $%#@$ this is bad" and gone straight the highest authority he could find to report it.

I think it's a very simple story

Re: AFL to investigate claims some Western Bulldogs players allegedly backed team to lose

Before we all get our panties in a twist...very uncomfortable to say the least...let's see what the outcome of the AFL investigation is. Let's not bury the guy yet. It mightn't be as bad as a lot of posters think.

Re: AFL to investigate claims some Western Bulldogs players allegedly backed team to lose

I'd been away without any phone or internet access this week, so only heard the news yesterday afternoon from a mate.

Can't say that I'm overly concerned based on the circumstances which have come to light, particularly that it was self reported prior to the match being completed. Obviously, we need to wait until the investigation is completed, however it appears the outcome won't be too bad for Lachie and it's a good opportunity to reinforce some basic guidelines about betting with our young squad.

The more I read about this the more I'm thinking that Lachie and the player have realised very quickly that they were in the shit and come clean at the earliest opportunity.

My boss always tells us, if you *!*!*!*! up, that's fine, it happens. Just come and tell me and we'll work through it.

I really don't think Lachie did anything wrong with the information we have at the moment. Other than his friend being a DH
