This isn't a thread for AFLW by the way. Could the mods please change it? Sent from my CPH1920 using Tapatalk

Cast your mind back to the 2018 prelim final, our players come out and the supporters ring a chant around the MCG, we go again when Richmond run out. Fast forward 365 days later, we play GWS at the MCG with 99% of the crowd Collingwood supporters. Two players on the media during the week...

Hard to believe this thread's already closed

I was watching Chernobyl last night with Adam Oxley's missus (allegedly). She confirmed that the bible might be a load of s**t but she'll have to watch a 9/11 doco to work out whether or not there's a gambling problem at Collingwood. More to come

Does anyone care? It's f**king Gold Coast lmao

Trust the nuffy Essendon supporters to start a bullshit rumour. 5300+ days since they've won a final lol

Nah. I can find top 4 though :rolleyes:

What's with everyone and moaning about life bans? He's lucky he hasn't in all fairness because of how brazen it was, but I doubt many would want him to get a life ban. I'd be stoked if he didn't get a suspension at all, doesn't mean it's right.

I laugh every time I see people blaming the AFL for a bloke choosing to stupidly gamble on his on match. It's almost as if the AFL have only had gambling advertisements yesterday. There's gambling ads all over the world for sport, largely with sky bet + sky sports, BT Sport + BET365. Stop...

That's fine.

Think about it like this, all we're looking at is a 10 match suspension. 12 weeks suspended used as a deterrent for a future breach, which is well more than fair. Players in the past have done less and received 6 matches, or however many it's been. Jaidyn Stephenson has done a lot more than that...

Part of the problem would actually be just sitting there and letting everything go and expect change to happen alone. Part of the problem would also be accepting the fact that what Jaidyn Stephenson did isn't a problem at all, that he's been given a harsh suspension, and start blaming...

Analysing isn't ridiculing, it's actually critical thinking. No one hates Stephenson for what he's done, but there's also nothing wrong with working out why he's done something so brazen. He's betted on his own team, his own match, on himself. Which part of this is okay with you?

I apologise for wanting my club I've supported my whole life to be run with moral ethics. If this happens to another player this week you'd be okay with them being given a few weeks suspension and that's it? Because if so then you're part of the problem.

When I was 18 I was addicted to gambling for a short stint of 3 months. I went to Crown alone, walked in with $50 went up to $800 on roulette, talked myself into going to $1000 and eventually I walked away with nothing. To this day I blame myself and myself only. We all have choices to make...

Let's reiterate information. He's betted on multiple matches where he's staked to have 3+ goals on himself. He's had specific margins for these matches. If these margins are 39+ he's hit two birds with one stone here. If it is the case with 'x player' not have 'x disposals' then that's what's...

Absolutely and I agree with you. But at the end of the day he makes the call himself. He can simply walk away and say 'no' or he can do what he did and land him in the position he's in today using his own hands.

"However it is unclear whether the torpedo punt goal Stephenson kicked in the dying minutes of the round nine match against St Kilda, which meant he kicked three goals for the match, was one of the multi-bet legs laid during that round. The AFL refused to confirm the games in which the bet types...

They could do it for sympathy. I know last year one of our lads who was AFL listed playing in the VFL went to tribunal for an infield incident, didn't get suspended but copped a fine. All he said was "thankfully I don't have to pay the fine and I get to play next week" obviously the fine had to...

They're smart. They don't put up with s**t like the way we do in this league. We use the whole 'he's a good bloke, he's young, he's not addicted, he didn't know it was bad until it was too late etc etc etc' then we start blaming betting agencies like they've just cropped up in the last 2 months...

I can't see how or why people are saying it's too harsh. I thought 6 weeks for just betting on first goalscorer was fair. Everyone wanted to give him 6 weeks and nothing else for what he's done over 3 matches. What kind of message does that send to other players? This is the worst case we've...

It is spot fixing, borderline match fixing if he's betting on the results and has a say in the end result. I don't know why people are saying it's not at least spot fixing because it is. Still falls under the match fixing category either way, that's why he's been giving the suspension he has...

Forgot I made this thread lmao

Don't tell me Stepho's punishment is harsh. He's gotten off real easy and has done way worse. $36, multiple bets, multiple matches = 10 matches 3 pounds, one bet, one match = 18 month ban...

It's actually damning how people are comparing one incident of this nature to other incidents completely, very completely different i.e. the Gaff incident. What's even more strange is people blaming betting agencies because there's ads everywhere. There's always been betting ads at the footy...

How's everyone more concerned about what happens with who comes and replaces Stepho? I'm more concerned in that fact that this most likely isn't an isolated incident between one player, one player only. I don't want to have to go to matches and question everything that happens. * that for a joke.

He betted on a specific margin result in one of our matches. Does this not alarm anyone else, the fact that a player in a team would do that?Surely there are other players involved for him to place these type of bets. No one would have a specific margin playing for a team and not have players...

Club says 2pm. Are they holding two?

You're kidding me right? I study sports business and studied ethics in sports as a subject, went through case studies and I can tell you now this IS match-fixing. Match-fixing isn't just the end result of a match. In organized sports, match fixing occurs as a match is played to a completely or...
