THE AFL has launched an investigation into a potentially explosive gambling matter after being alerted by a Hawthorn player and club official.
The player, accompanied by Hawthorn's general manager of football operations, Mark Evans, met AFL football operations manager Adrian Anderson yesterday.
The player requested the meeting where he notified Anderson that bets on football games had been made on an account in his name, claiming the bet had been made by a relative.
It is not known whether the bets involved Hawthorn games.
Anderson last night refused to comment on the matter
"I'm not willing to go into any detail," he said.
The Hawks last night threw their support behind the player.
"Hawthorn can confirm that a player came to us about a series of bets made on a betting card in his name by a relative," Evans said.
"We believe the player's story."
