8 weeks to be served with 6 suspended Axe.

Can play first final.

Sweet. Cheers.
That is a massive difference to Collingwood's finals chances IMO.
Still not ideal with match fitness issues to be sorted out, but a lot better than 'season over' for Shaw.

Just can't believe he could be so dumb.

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Oh it affects Collingwood as well....

I couldn't go past the fact the with minimal trades I didn't want to use one to get rid of a Premo defender who put a lousy $10 bet on ffs...

 

[Jobe Watson]

Silly, silly boy. Seriously, don't Collingwood pay him enough?

Lucky I avoided this one. Was unfortunate enough to have him the last time he got a massive suspension and missed the rest of the season, though.

 

[rocker_oz33]

when does this take place ? from now?

 

[Jack4814]

What chance do we have when sh!t like this comes up. SC sucks

 

[dlanod]

Especially on a Friday afternoon. Too bad anyone with Shaw who'd done their trades this morning before leaving for work, etc.

 

[Millington Magic]

Here's me thinking all I had to do was pick my captain!!

Tossing up between trading Shaw to Johncock/Hurn/Enright. Unsure who i will go to.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Arrrrrrgh I didnt know anything about it.
With a must win in my DT league ( slabs in the balance ) I traded out injured Carrazzo for Shaw just this afternoon. S*** I dont have that many trades what a complete ****ing waste. My opponent had him as well, but might have trades left to get him out.

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Won't trade him out just yet, I'm hoping for an appeal next week

 

[Cazbah]

Even if he does appeal what good will he get? Maybe down to 4 weeks? You'd still want to trade him out..

Not if you have 3-4 trades or less...

 

[Ed D]

From my understanding it was the Pies that gave him the 8 week suspension, not the AFL.

Nup, it was the AFL for sure.

 

[Ed D]

Nup, it was the AFL for sure.

Ahh ok, my mistake. Still can't see the Pies fighting it.

 

[ThePezDispenser]

It's a bit excessive compared to the 2 weeks given out prior.

 

[Clunk]

Use of insider information as well as betting on a match he was playing in was the big difference.

 

[DamoCFC]

Anyone know the extent of J Griffins hip injury?? Will he be back this week??

 

[SaintsSeptember]

They were talking about an investigation into L Montagna's betting activities on the radio this morning. Just in case anyone is thinking of trading him in.

Bloody hell - here we again. :roll eyes:
Not substantiated as yet though...

And an article about it here:

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/bet-account-query-for-montagna-20110718-1hlno.html

ST KILDA player Leigh Montagna has been questioned by the AFL over a family betting account linked to him, The Age believes.
It is believed that the Saints player has been asked about at least one payment he made to his brother's betting account, which raised questions about whether Montagna was using the account to place bets.
The Age does not suggest Leigh Montagna has placed bets on football. Players are permitted to have accounts to bet on other sports. Also, Montagna may have simply repaid money owed to his brother's account.

[joxstrap]

I seriously hope that Ablett, Fisher, Montagna, Fyfe, Goldstein, McEvoy, Goodes, Marc Murphy, Selwood and Griffen all get rubbed out for 8 weeks for placing bets on games they were involved in. SC miracle of miracles, and I wouldn't even have to wish injury upon anyone!

How did you manage to put together a team with none of those guys?

 

[joxstrap]

Missed Ablett's boat because my midfield was complete by the time he was scoring well, and the others I just chose different options in each field. I had Selwood up until he was suspended.

Sandilands wants to play this week.
