CARLTON says it would welcome any investigation into tanking at its club, with president Stephen Kernahan saying yesterday the Blues were "clean as a whistle".
The league has said if new information comes forward it is prepared to look into any allegations of tanking as it completes its investigation into Melbourne.
Collingwood, West Coast, Fremantle and the Western Bulldogs are all clubs which have "list managed" at times and won priority or higher draft picks.
But Kernahan said yesterday the Blues had nothing to hide.
"We were in winning positions in six of those games," he said.
The league has already quizzed coach Brett Ratten about the Round 22, 2007 "Kreuzer Cup", in which Melbourne won to hand the Blues the No.1 pick.
Brendan Fevola yesterday told the Herald Sun he was certain the club was not maximising its chances in that game or others late in that season.
Ratten was hauled in by AFL investigators, but even Fevola acknowledged there was no directive from the club to players.
Blues chief executive Greg Swann has previously said the Blues, which sacked coach Denis Pagan late in the year, were simply "no good".
The Blues lost in Round 16 to Brisbane by 117 points, and lost narrowly after that to St Kilda, Collingwood, Port Adelaide and Essendon.
Collingwood president Eddie McGuire said this year he also had no problems if the AFL examined the Pies' 2005 season, when they collected Dale Thomas and Scott Pendlebury.
The Pies lost eight games that year and warehoused key players.
"Why would there be anything to hide? Our seasons are all on record, they are all there," McGuire said.
"It's a bit staggering this has come on the back of Brock McLean, when we had an investigation and quotes from Dean Bailey."
