Lyon just said an ex-assistant coach of an AFL club will come on and admit his side last year tanked.

Yeah, this is an article on another website at the moment:

DEVELOPING STORY…

BY SHANE POTTER

Footyhead’s be sure to check back shortly for a story that is set to rock the football world after an AFL insider admitted to Footyhead’s own Craig Hutchison that his side tanked last season.

More on this developing story shortly.

Kouta?

Libba - Carlton 2007.

[mjs]

Heavily qualified - only stating the obvious

ps - wonder if he still wants to work in the AFL   

[jezza]

Just saying what everyone knew anyway.
Will never get another coaching job again.

[Moi]

And he can't prove it so why bother.

[mightytiges]

Nothing that we didn't already know. We all know it goes on. Libba is just claiming as assistant coach they in his opinion deliberately did dodgy things to make it hard to win.

One thing it does do is make fools of Demetriou and Anderson who claimed last year it teams don't tank.

[tigersalive]

He's an attention seeking man but man its great that it was Carlton. 

[mjs]

The sad thing for me was that Krueger (Dick's mate) obviously was very happy to go to Carlton rather than us.

Is coaching Sunbury and get more $$$$ than his assistants role at Carlton last year.

l been saying this for several years.  his telling everyone cause it does happen in football & he wants the AFL to do something to stop it before the game is thrown into disaray but many just dont want to beleive it
Money is the most powerful thing & people will do almost anything for huge gain
(example)  Liverpool the goal keeper Bruce Grobbelaar threw games for money just happens l follow them since before l followed the tigers as a kid
Libba had nothing to lose comming out saying what he did infact he might gain alot of money for his story & l think his a champion doing it cause there be people wanting to chop his balls off now
Richmond will be the next team exposed for tanking
Most players want the draft rules changed & Crawford saying the last 4 teams drawn from a hat says it all that the players dont want the tanking tag put on them
exactly what l posted last year the lower teams should be hat drawn for draft choices because of tanking
this will force the AFL to take action now, its opened a can of worms & wouldnot surprise me if legal action comes from it
but Carlton got what its always wanted by cheating in the past & its been punished but yet they still do it & if its proven surely their AFL licence should be revoked & a end to the scum club

For those that didn't see the footy show here's links to what Libba said:

Liberatore, who was part of the Blues coaching staff during that time, told the Nine Network's AFL Footy Show that winning "wasn't the be all and end all" for the club during the final matches of the year.

Asked if he felt that constituted tanking, he said: "I would have to say yes."

Carlton's last match was dubbed the "Kreuzer Cup" after young ruckman Matthew Kreuzer, whom Carlton secured with its top pick. When asked if anybody had talked directly about tanking before the match, Liberatore said: "I never heard it, but I could feel it."

Carlton are going to hold a press conference at noon today to respond to Libba's claims.

Libba seems to be doing some soul cleansing, first the bulldogs, now carlton. Do you think he will now come out and tell the truth about the Knights incident?

i think the next admission he makes will be about molesting young boys.
