I suppose something has to happen when you get beaten by 186 points. But with all the controversy about who will coach, whether the CEO is fired/reinstated/fired again and all the other crap that's flying about one thing just absolutely floored me. Bailey(the x coach) admitted that a couple of years ago he played certain players out of position. The questioner asked ,"for what reason " and Bailey responded "for the good of the Melbourne Football Club". When pressed further he admitted that the club needed the draft picks and the only way to get them was to finish the season in a lowly position and''I had no hesitation at all in the first two years of ensuring this club was well placed for draft picks,'' Bailey said.
''I have no hesitation in what we've done. I think what we've done is the right thing by the club and if it cost me my job, so be it. But the club is always bigger than the individual.
''I was asked to do the best thing by the Melbourne Football Club and I did it … I put players in different positions to enable them [to develop] … I think the whole football club agreed we wanted to develop our players, so we did".

**** me! this is the sort of thing that happens in the Indian cricket leagues. If this is the way it seems it casts doubt on All the results of the Melbourne Football Club.
Isn't this match fixing???
