Scandal Jaidyn Stephenson - Betting on Pies games

[Sentinel]

I noticed him during the Queens Bday game how he desperately wanted the 1st Goal. Had 2 shots he missed then stole 1 from a Collingwood player when the umpire gave the advantage after Viney stopped

What complete rubbish. He had one set shot in the first 30 seconds, from 40m out directly in front (so no question whether he should pass it off or have a ping).

He didn't have a second shot like you claim, in fact his only other kick in that time was inside 50 but was away from the goals to the hot spot, before taking the advantage from the free and slotting it from the goal line rather than having Mihocek attempt it from a tight angle.

You did not notice him one bit.

Hot Breakfast chief footy reporter Tom Browne says that Collingwood and the AFL are investigating a “betting irregularity” involving Jaidyn Stephenson.

Not much info atm. Another one of those "more to come" stories.

Didnt this happen a few years back with BOCK playing for the Suns, was listed at $151 for FGS but was listed at CHB, but was placed at CHF at the first bounce. Actually had the first shot on goal too, but kicked a point.

Bock go 2 weeks for telling friends/family he would be playing up forward. They collectedbig on first goal.

Goldsack’s family won on first goal scorer in the 2010 replay

A couple week holiday coming up.

A couple week holiday coming up.

Could be up to 8-10.

2 year ban required for being an idiot. Although I refuse to believe a guy earning 200k this year and at least double that on his next deal would be dumb enough to place a $50 bet putting that all in jeopardy.

I'd suggest it'll be more than a couple. If it is him that's put on the bet and it is on a Collingwood game.. Heath Shaw got 8 weeks and a 20k fine for putting $10 on Nick Maxwell to kick the first goal years ago. They might give him a discount because he's only 20 but geez. He's in for some time off if all is true.

Happiest man in football right now is Gil McLachlan.

That’s the part I can’t get my head around why take the risk for a bet under 50 bucks let alone taking the risk at all

 

[Tiger Toffee]

Doesn't matter if it was 50 cents each way Sam, a bet is a bet and if true should be missing games as a result.

Everyone knows betting on AFL games as a player is a massive no no, in fact anyone employed by an AFL club is forbidden to place a bet on AFL games.

When Bucks said "back yourself", he took it a little too far

 

[Cold Sober]

Whats more relaxing than a few beers and a bet, I lost two houses and two wives doing both.
Obviously peed off about the houses.
Another case of over reaction to a minor action, the penalties don't fit the crime imo.

Look! Over there!

For Browne to specifically name him you think it has to be true to go out on that limb.

 

[Reality IS]

Gil been sitting on this one for a while...timing is right to release it to distract from the real issues around crowds/security.

It’s the integrity. You know the when it applies to betting only?

 

[FastLane]

apparently he's in big poo for not using AFL official betting partner.

Just ban gambling advertising- AFL cannot have rules about gambling when they make a significant chunk of money form it.

Beyond a joke

 

[DamoESP]

Shaw got 8 weeks correct?

Was given 14 game ban, with 6 suspended and a $20k fine. For a $10 bet....so I would expect Stephenson to receive something similar if his bet is "under $50"

Penalties aren't harsh enough IMO.

I couldn't find Integrity in the race guide, what number is it.

His dog did it

This is why you don't recruit players like Dayne Beams into your team.

As long as he didn't cheer too loud when he won

It depends, though. Heath Shaw knew Nick Maxwell was starting forward, which was not common knowledge, and was in a position to influence the outcome. That's akin to spot fixing, IMO.

If Stephenson was betting on himself to score the first goal, then again he is in a position to influence the outcome (ie take a shot when he otherwise wouldn't have, or not pass when he should have, etc) and that's bad. But if it was a generic $50 on Collingwood to win, that's less bad. Because he's trying to do that anyway.

At a minimum, I'm saying six to eight weeks, but if it was on something that he could influence, then he's played his last game for the season.
