Grant Thomas has no doubt an AFL umpire tried to influence the 2005 ‘Whispers In the Sky’ game

In the second episode of our explosive podcast series SACKED, Grant Thomas lifts the lid on how an AFL umpire influenced the 2005 “Whispers In the Sky” game and it all stemmed from a conversation overheard in business class.

Grant Thomas speaks to his players during St Kilda v Fremantle Dockers.

Grant Thomas says he has no doubt an AFL umpire tried to influence the dramatic 2005 “Whispers In the Sky” game, accusing the league of a cover-up despite an official investigation.

Thomas believes his continuing feud with AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou played a key part in the dramatic fallout to that contentious contest.

Thomas this week told the Herald Sun’s Sacked Podcast there were a number of extraordinary comments heard by his staffer Matt “Gus” Parker as well as Jones and Eddie McGuire.

He believes an official investigation was a cover-up, with one integrity officer falling asleep in an interview with Parker.
