Bribery Scandal Doug Fraser, Alex Lang and Doug Gillespie
Fraser and Lang banned for 99 games each, Gillespie was exonerated
Tom Baxter
In the 1910 Grand Final Tom Baxter was reported for striking and suspended for the entire 1911 VFL season. Collingwood appealed the ban and it was overturned, after teammate Richard Daykin signed a declaration which stated that it was he and not Baxter who had struck Jack Baquie. As Daykin had retired after the Grand Final win, no player was suspended for the incident.
