Thave it in spades, others can’t buy it. Shannon Grant knows a thing or two about timing. It was a trademark of his throughout a splendid AFL career that started at the Sydney Swans then flourished at North Melbourne. In all, Grant played 301 games, 58 in three seasons at Sydney and 243 in 11 seasons at North Melbourne, including the Roos’ 1999 premiership. Ironically, Grant retired after Sydney defeated North in last year’s second elimination final by 35 points, in what was a disappointing end to an otherwise stellar career. Regardless, Grant could look back with pride at a list of playing honours that included: the 1999 Norm Smith Medal for his best-on-ground performance in North’s ’99 flag triumph; the Roos’ 2001 best and fairest and three runner-up finishes and a third placing in the same award (2003-5 and 1999 Grant gets timing respectively); All-Australian selection in 2005; and the 1998 pre-season premiership.

    Scandals in sport AN ACCOMPANIMENT TO ON THE TAKE TONY JOEL AND MATHEW TURNER Contemporary Histories Research Group, Deakin University February 2020 he events that enveloped the Victorian Football League (VFL) generally and the Carlton Football Club especially in September 1910 were not unprecedented. Gambling was entrenched in TMelbourne’s sporting landscape and rumours about footballers “playing dead” to fix the results of certain matches had swirled around the city’s ovals, pubs, and back streets for decades. On occasion, firmer allegations had even forced authorities into conducting formal inquiries. The Carlton bribery scandal, then, was not the first or only time when footballers were interrogated by officials from either their club or governing body over corruption charges. It was the most sensational case, however, and not only because of the guilty verdicts and harsh punishments handed down. As our new book On The Take reveals in intricate detail, it was a particularly controversial episode due to such a prominent figure as Carlton’s triple premiership hero Alex “Bongo” Lang being implicated as the scandal’s chief protagonist. Indeed, there is something captivating about scandals involving professional athletes and our fascination is only amplified when champions are embroiled, and long bans are sanctioned. As a by-product of modernity’s cult of celebrity, it is not uncommon for high-profile sportspeople to find themselves exposed by unlawful, immoral, or simply ill-advised behaviour whether it be directly related to their sporting performances or instead concerning their personal lives. Most cases can be categorised as somehow relating to either sex, illegal or criminal activity, violence, various forms of cheating (with drugs/doping so prevalent it can be considered a separate category), prohibited gambling and match-fixing.
