Biggest AFL Scandals of the last 10 years

[Shane Heard]

Only passing on some stories my late father told me.
My grandfather also told me that around the late 1920's and early 30's the Mayblooms/Hawks were so non-competitive that when they were playing some of the top teams, after half time 5 or 6 of the opposition players would simply go home or to the races and the rest of the match would be played by their reserves and/or even sometimes their trainers...

I’d love that story to be true. Classic.

I see the HUN has it all worked out with one notable omission

Which reminds me...a few years ago someone squirted water on the ball before a set shot and got a rap over the knuckles for it.

You’re allowed to wipe the wet ball with a trainer’s towel but not add water...or was it the other way around

Squeaky clean since 2009.

I'm not sure whether 'scandals' includes having the World record for delisiting 1st round draft picks over the past 10 years...?

There would have been calls for a royal commission if the 2016 GF umpiring was the other way around.

Yeah I doubt that's a scandal.
For you to think consider this shows how soft you are.
