Hmm are you sure?

Only passing on what I heard mate.

I've met Bryce on a couple of occasions and he doesn't strike me as the type but who knows what goes on behind closed doors?

So your source is a psychic?

I call BULLDUST!

No pressure or anything.

 

[ferrisb]

Hey, lay off Totti.

At the very least the cripps part sounds credible to me

Maybe his source is the man himself, and he's put his life savings on Cripps for the rising star

Nothing would surprise me

Don't worry about Bryce alone, when the issue runs deep across the league as a whole.

Barker was asked about the issue this week and said he wasn't aware of any gambling issues with our players.........that may not be exactly correct.

Read in the media this week, the group along with some coaches had a punters club, all contribute (small aounts) but has been closed, I'll find the article.

Here the age yesterday

we don't need this shit........not now.........not ever........

The whole punting, corporate money the betting agencies pump into sport, the ridiculous amount of advertising has to stop.

$$$ cha ching

 

[Bluella]

If problem gambling is rife in the AFL, I don't see why our boys would be immune from it. I hope the rumour isn't true, but our boys are as vulnerable to it as any other player.

The problem facing footballers is they have a lot of disposable income, and they have more time on their hands than most people.

True..plus young and vulnerable.

Yep. And I did hear that Gibbs was using his money well to buy investment properties in Melbourne and Adelaide.
I'd be pretty surprised if Gibbs had gotten himself into trouble over gambling. Seems like a pretty level headed young bloke.

 

[thylacine60]

They'd have said that about Ox. Losing your disposable money is not really the problem. It's the debt and all its consequences.

 

[chunkylover53]

Wouldn't surprise me. Is pretty involved with horse racing. Owns or part-owns a few..

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Nothing negative in that story for us. Just a tightening of the professionalism belt. Gambling has been around for a long time. Some gamble responsibly, some don't.

Not exactly the days when DylBucks' Dad and others used to check out the racing results on the scoreboard.

 

[passmark]

I've been listening to SEN while reading the last few pages.

Sportsbet ad, Hutchy and crew discussing ods, another sportsbet ad.

Needs to be treated like ciggies.

Advertising ban.

 

[HARKER]

Andy Maher started saying how much he disliked the club being associated (and beholden to....................O.K. he didn't exactly say that) with anything to do with gambling

He checked himself a little but not before he made his point pretty clear.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Wonder if this means they've stopped the poker night "bonding sessions" at Crown then...they were started by a fairly recent addition to the team.

Always found it confusing how much the AFL and this country in general is allowed to advertise betting.

Taking kids fresh out of High School, paying them 60k+ a year, and only working 20 hrs a week or so is just asking for some form of trouble.

Seriously would not surprise me if every team had at least 1 bloke who had a gambling problem.

Oh the poor dears , that must be intolerable for them .
FFS , what's happening to society ...
