Scandal The 2016 finals series was rigged

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

A mate of a mate who’s cousin knows someone within AFL House told me the 2016 finals series and ultimately the Grand Final were rigged for a Bulldogs win. At one stage in the big one, the Bulldogs received 17 free kicks to Sydney’s 1. The informant also sent me a link to the below article.

Around 2015 Gill said that the best thing for the AFL would be for the Bulldogs and Richmond to win a flag, given their non financial supporters.

This was only a couple of years after Essendon were having a crisis meeting and Andy D just happened to conference call in the day before the club was being raided by authorities.

Both of which are absolute coincidences and how dare you suggest anything untoward.

This is also the same AFL tribunal that found that because they couldn't find a direct chain of possession all the way from manufacture to Windy Hill then there is some doubt and threw the case out, regardless of what was actually there and used.

This is also the competition that simultaneously has a three strike policy that nobody has ever struck out on and the AFL has never made someone's positive test public with their corresponding strike except for when players have been found on doorsteps, or in cars, or by police and it was already in the news. Meanwhile allowing players to put their hand up in the background on Monday morning and avoid any procedural punishment.

Don't make the AFL look bad and you can do whatever you like.

Next thing you know they are saying the ball being 80m away is "in play" to downgrade a cheap hit to allow Barry Hall to play a Grand Final.

Travis Tuck got three strikes a suspension and fine

Travis Tuck got three strikes a suspension and fine

This was preceded by him being discovered in a car suffering a suspected overdose, reported in the media and then handled by the AFL.

I think you'll find Richmond supporters have purchased the rights to "salt, salty" etc...

lol i knew some victorian would say this. 2004 is after 2001, so yes, 2004 comes into the years i was referring to.

It is an obvious question. So all the premierships since 2001 have been rigged. Why do you follow the sport then?

Reasonable case to make that Port should have or could have won a couple more (they were minor premiers during Brisbane's run).

Its still a stretch though.

Dogs did to be fair do well to get to the finals, but the umpiring was a fair dinkum disgrace in the finals that went towards the Dogs, especially the grand final.

 

[bzparkes]

Wouldn't say the competition's rigged per-se, but the AFL clearly puts the needs of revenue ahead of fairness and certain big Vic clubs will always end up being the beneficiaries of such policy.
