Challenge: write the intro to the perfect Herald Sun story

COLLINGWOOD star Alan Didak has confessed to murdering three drug dealers for underworld king pin Carl Williams - just one day before he kicked the winning goal in AFL Grand Final.
Police knew about the murders, but covered it up to allow the goalsneak to play for the Pies against Geelong.

Footy and crime - not a bad receipe. They love police corruption too. Technically it's two pars, so not really just the intro. I could have tried to sneak it all into one, but I prefer shorter, sharper sentences, rather than the "double-banger" intros.
