AFL integrity unit to investigate Dogs' leak claims

THE WESTERN Bulldogs have asked the AFL's integrity unit to investigate the leaking of "game-sensitive information" ahead of its elimination final against Adelaide.
The club said it became aware more than a week ago of the "inappropriate transmission" of internal match planning and conducted its own investigation.
Adelaide has insisted it did not use the sensitive information to its advantage in the seven-point win.
AFL.com.au understands out-of-contract defender Michael Talia, whose brother Daniel plays for the Crows, is at the centre of the investigation.
"The Western Bulldogs became aware on Monday 14 September of allegations of the inappropriate transmission of game-sensitive information from the Western Bulldogs to the Adelaide Crows prior to the final on 12 September," Bulldogs CEO David Stevenson said in a statement on Tuesday evening.
"The club conducted such interviews and enquiries as we considered appropriate last week and as a result of those enquiries, the club has today referred the matter to the AFL for consideration by its integrity unit.
"While we do not believe this matter had a material bearing on the game or the result, we believe it is appropriate to report these matters relating to integrity to the AFL for investigation."
The Crows won the elimination final against the Bulldogs by seven points, and coach Scott Camporeale was asked on radio in the week following if he had received sensitive information from within the Bulldogs.
