Surely we've had enough controversy! Rendell, Tippett, Trigg and now possibly Bailey in trouble
The club is now receiving legal advice after at least four witnesses have been recalled by the AFL and admitted the club planned to deliberately lose games of football. Among those to have confessed the meeting took place upon being re-interviewed are former coach Dean Bailey, his then assistant Josh Mahoney and the Demons' former recruiting manager Barry Prendergast, now at Carlton.
Mahoney, who is now in charge of the Melbourne football department, did not attend Monday's first official pre-season training session. Bailey, who has not responded to calls from The Age, now fears he could even be suspended by the AFL for his role in the tanking affair.
Now a senior assistant with the Adelaide Crows, Bailey came close to blowing the whistle on Melbourne last year during his final press conference, after being sacked, but then failed to reveal the meeting in a subsequent AFL investigation. Bailey has told colleagues he regrets following the club line which the AFL could establish was driven from the top.
