Summary	On the Take shines a light on footy's first major scandal, when one of the VFL's earliest superstars - Carlton's Alex "Bongo" Lang, a three-time Premiership hero - and his rookie teammate Doug Fraser experienced a sudden and unexpected fall from grace after the League found them guilty of taking a bribe to 'play dead' in a semi-final in September 1910. In thrilling detail, On the Take presents 1910 as perhaps the single most turbulent season in VFL/AFL history, contextualising it within the League's development during the formative phase between its establishment in 1897 and the outbreak of the First World War.
