I think people tend to exaggerate Eddies wealth. His net worth is 55 million dollars. Which is a lot but its not the kind of money that could buy off a billion dollar industry like the AFL. For comparison sake Western forces andrew forrest net worth is 7 billion.
You'd imagine that big of a rumour, if it was true, would have moved beyond rumour by now.

Not really. There were rumours about PED use going around BF months before the Essendon stuff properly hit.

If there was substance to it (I honestly have no idea or opinion either way), it would be sitting with the AFL's lawyers atm, before their advice is put before and considered by the AFL board, etc. in a number of confidential meetings. Like the Ess Peds saga, if true, this ain't going anywhere fast. And the media wouldn't touch it until AFL releases a statement to avoid serious defamation suits.
If true, RBB would be happy to get off the back page of the rags though.
Probably fake, but there's a few of these flying around at the moment.
Best one starts off with "so I smoke cones with Eddie's son"....
This whole thing seems like BS.

What a load of absolute garbage. Just to play along for fun... Is there even a Collingwood player Langdon aside who has a brother also in the league ?

I personally put little weight in the rumours. But, if true to the extent being suggested, it would be hard for the AFL to bury it entirely - but they will manipulate the timing and narrative as best they can. For example, they might wait until the dead period after the AFL draft to go official with it and work it from there.
It would be the kind of story they have no control over if enough of it gets out.
As someone has already alluded to, might not be a bad year to finish ninth.

I agree so I hope we don't stop trying!
Apologies to "Semi Pro" movie with 4th place, have the chant 9th place, 9th place, going on in my brain.
Teams to barrack for this weekend with an eye to finals: Sydney, Bulldogs, and the most important one which might upset a few - Eagles.
Wow, it’s snowing at the footy In Canberra
It's snowing about 20km from Melbourne too so we should think ourselves lucky that Etihad has a roof
Don't think we need to barrack too hard for the Eagles. They are perfectly capable of battering the Crows without our help.
How does this Leon Cameron keep his job.
Does Hawthorn winning hurt our chances?
They have injuries but I agree. They should be better than they are.
Not really because if we win all 3 (likely required) they will be a game behind us.
Because he's a nice bloke? Honestly, I'm not sure. Considering the team he's had for the last few years, they are seriously underperforming
