More info??
That's all there is. Afl integrity unit investigating.
The Saints game kind of stood out like a sore thumb.

Saints game surely. No team can be that bad one week and not the two weeks either side
Why'd you leave the second part out of the title?

Hmmm 2 games?
One of them would have to be the Saints game, obviously. The only other one I can think of is the North game. Maybe the Carlton game, where they really should've lost if not for Wood.

Wow this will rival the Essendon drugs scandal if there is anything to this. If any players were fixing they should be banned for life
The saints game was unbelievable, the part about them being 'up' for Lenny Hayes is a pretty thin excuse, maybe it would give them a small boost for the first 15 minutes but the way freo just totally layed down is sus as hell. If that were a real reason then we wouldn't see so many teams lose when a club champion is playing their 300th game or whatever

Well this is heaps to go on.
We could get at least 20 pages of idle speculation before anything of substance comes out.
Actually a month ago there were callers ringing our local radio station 6pr saying they heard rumours Fremantle wanted some games investigated for umpiring. Perhaps this could be what they are talking about?
Fisher would be the umpire in question. Ex Saints player who Lyon delisted.
It was also all over our board that during the Carlton game (we won by 5) Fisher paid 14 free kicks for the game. With 13 of those going to Carlton and 5 to Marc Murphy. Only 1 to Fremantle. Pretty damning stats and possibly backed up with other games he has umpired us in.
We received 4 total in the Dogs game! Need to think about that stat. 4 free kicks for a team that likes to pressure and harass and in fact so do Dogs.
If they're being investigated for fixing, I'm happy to stand corrected. Just thought I'd provide what else it could be for.

This could be massive, but I have decided to pop this on Scandals and Rumours until something more concrete materialises.
You are correct. Saints got absolutely smashed by an Adelaide team who apparently hated their coach in Lennys last game.
While I was grateful for the Saints winning one more game for the season, we were 75 points up at one stage.
It was mighty mighty suss. Watching the Saints, we had been deplorable leading up to that game. After that game we went back to deplorable.
How do we beat a top four team by 10 goals?? Well the Saints were at $14.00 at the beginning of the game. Saints did play well but there was NO defensive pressure.
When have you ever heard that about a Ross Lyon coached team?

You barely beat Carlton at home in your next game. But yes I do agree that the game against St Kilda would be the prime candidate for match fixing.

No way this is true. But for speculations sake the two games would have to be the North game and the Saints game, uncharacteristic Freo footy in both games. My dad even said while watching the Saints game that they were 'throwing the match'.
It's all beginning to fall into place now.
Why would Ross choke a fan for a slap on the back? The only explanation is that the fan knew something and Lyon had to shut him up.

I think it is more likely someone passed on "sensitive" information - team changes, structure changes etc - and that was used for gambling purposes by a third party rather than the players themselves doing anything untoward. I heard Matty Campbell from Sportsbet say at one stage that they actually lost on the Freo/Saints game as one punter had a good go at the Saints.

Could this be like when that Brissy player (can't remember the name) defender told a few of his mates he was going to play up forward in a game vs the Hawks in tassie and he kicked the first goal. His price went from $40s into $10s, and they had to suspend betting ?
I stand corrected.
Only the OP has said betting. Others have said investigation.
I'll bet it was to do with umpiring and go back to my original comment. At seasons end would be a good time to investigate.
The rumblings about an investigation were pretty strong in the rumour mill on 6pr a few days after the Carlton game.

I see where you're going with this; it's the Saints we should be investigating!
