Hmmm. Wonder which ones? The only howler I can think of that we lost when we should have won was the St Kilda game. The one last year, everyone knew we were resting players even before the lists cane out, we could hardly be accused of match fixing there, could we?

Nat Fyfe to get two weeks
Lol - but s**t mate, don't even say that!
I would not be surprised if Freo has asked the AFL for a "Please explain" in regards to a few umpiring efforts this year...Geelong, Bulldogs....Maybe its that???
Bulldogs.. 4 frees springs to mind!

I would say Troy Pannel and Dean Margetts are involved.

Wonder what it is... Has to either be the shocking umpiring we've had or possibly the Saint Kilda game?
Will probably end up being an incident Fyfe did off the ball that they missed and will give him a 4 week holiday to start the season

I get the feeling whatever this is I'll be pissed.

If a massive bet was put on St Kilda after Hayes announced his retirement then we get pounded I expect the betting agencies will be leading the charge in this investigation.
Someone could have paid off their house with a $1,000 bet on the Saints by over 10 goals.

Or maybe it's the bloke who put his house on the Dockers?
I have a really bad feeling about this. The AFL aren't going to investigate their own wrongdoing, I feel the club/some of the players may be in some trouble here.

St Kilda was one game. I don't think its because of that.
If they launch any action against the club. I'm sure the club will eagerly launch action about the umpiring in the bulldogs and geelong games.

You'd think it would be matter of course for a league to investigate any upset of that magnitude. Especially if there were some big bets coming in for the Saints late. An "investigation" doesn't imply any of our players are being accused of throwing the match.
It'd have to be the umpiring. An afl match would be too difficult the 'throw'... Players, coaches etc everyone would have to be in on it.
You would hope so, It has probably just dawned on them that the whole finals have been corrupted by the Geelong game, and the best 4 x teams are NOT in the PF's.
I reckon that the Cats were the 5th best side and our QF should have been against the Hawks.
Maybe I am giving the AFL too much credit for common sense.

Bit too early for that isn't it, at present the whole story is one tweet that says they are investigating 2 Fremantle games, not us as a club. If it was something big wouldn't it be across other media?
I hope someone investigates our last two games, straight sets demands an investigation
