Enjoy...Dunno why the league was worried about a court challenge by Collingwood about the seagull
Dunno why the league was worried about a court challenge by Collingwood about the seagull missing finals. They would have never over ruled. An end of year penalty was never manifestly excessive.
How many of them bet on their own games or on themselves?
Crisp?Heater did; not sure about the others.
Don’t think it matters whether we know the specifics or not. The fact everyone’s now questioning his actions on field tells you all you need to know. Puts the integrity and look of the game at risk. Every time Pakistan drop a catch everyone’s mind goes straight to match fixing, every time the Aussies get a ball swinging everyone starts wondering whether they’re up to their old tricks. No one wants footy going down that path.. where every crazy shot at goal (60 metre torps) or every shocking kick at goal, is questioned. You know it’s happening when he gets back.So you know that was the game he backed himself to kick 3 goals do you? Maybe it was maybe it wasn't but you don't know so the rest of your post is just a guess.
He is very lucky with his punishment and even the Pies need a bit of a kicking for their veiw on what they thought the puishment should be, but seriously people post like no one is reading it.
Personally, I see his laid back laugh with a team mate about losing the bet as someone that obviously knew it was wrong but not how wrong. Steve Smith who is older and Captain of the country came out after the game and said what they did was wrong and sorry we won't do it again, like that was appropriate. It wasn't till there was an out cry that he realised how serious it was.
Stevo tells a team mate and is then surprised by the team mates response about the seriousness of it. If he understood how bad it was would he have said anything to his team mate? Doesn't change how bad it was but people going with he was caught out to diminish his remorse just doesn't fit. He wasn't caught out, he told a team mate. Howe might have threatened to tell or might have said leave it to you but this is big..who knows. I really think once that discussion was had, was the first time the idiot realised how bad it was.
No reversing here at all. You need to accept the truth. What do you think he can have a issue because he plays at your club?
People realise this penalty is up there with past gambling indiscretions right? Calls for multiple years bans etc are laughable.
Crisp?
It's pretty obvious. Shaw's bet concerned confidential information that the public shouldn't have known (Maxwell playing forward). Stephenson's weren't based on private information.Multiple years is overs, rest of the season should have been guarenteed. He got 2 more weeks than Shaw with two additional instances of betting on his own game, $26 in additional bets. Tell me how that makes sense
Shame your not as outraged about Stephenson bringing the game into disrepute.Compromising the integrity of the game? You mean like sending 2 teams to China, and one team gets food poisoning and loses the game. That kind of compromise? Let's start at the top if we're gonna talk about integrity. Not a 20 year old kid. September will be here in no time at all. Gil might be gone by then with any luck. Dare to dream. Did you hear him on triple M? Where did the monotone drawl go? Turns out he can talk like a human being afterall, if things get serious enough. Fake CEO. Can we stop talking about Stephenson & refocus? You think the timing was a coincidence? What other AFL distractions have you enjoyed these past 2 weeks? How about 'we're thinking about backdating the premierships to 1870?' Did you like that one? Or this one, 'if the Cats & Pies finish 1st & 4th respectively the final might be at the cattery.' They're playing us. Refocus. Any chance the press could focus on Gil they way they do with losing coaches? The AFL owns the stadium. Of course he knew. Security were taking photos of people and sending them to AFL house? How the **** did this story die? I guess security's motives were pure. Unlike Ian Collin's security, who would force people out of their seats at the end of games so he could turn the power off quickly and save a few bucks. He's in his grave right now with a big grin on his face. Gil's a failure. He can't get through an AFL season without a spate of scandals. How ******* hard can it be to put on a game of football? The crowd's getting out of control? Gee I wonder why. Could it be the same reason society's constantly outraged. Poor leadership and a media who spend every waking hour finding ways to keep us outraged. The first person who needs to go is that dumb bastard with the deep voice who does the preamble to each game on 7 & fox. Lighten up dude. It's not life & death. You want to Americanize the game? Fine. I'll do as they do in Amerika and go to the gun store and shoot the Sydney cheer squad. Then I'll head to the Whitten Oval. I was gonna go to the VFL this week but guess what? No dogs allowed at the Whitten Oval. Of all clubs, you'd think a club that calls themselves the Dogs, would let dogs in. How precious are they? So what if Roughhead landed in dog s**t. He probably deserved it. No paragraphs. That's how outraged I am. **** paragraphs.
Would the punishment be the same if the multi got up? Serious question.I dont think it's too relevant how much he bet. I care more of what the winnings would've been. He bet on a multi ffs.
We only know about this as the one leg he couldn't control was a teammate possession count costing him the win.

Should Richmond similarly allow tigers to roam the MCG?Then I'll head to the Whitten Oval. I was gonna go to the VFL this week but guess what? No dogs allowed at the Whitten Oval.

Ah the old Adam H deflection. You guys are under the pump and protest too much.You can't defend the indefencable. Something smells too high heaven here and it relates to your club.
Agreed. 100% it's match fixing and he needs years if not life ban. **** has no place in any sports.
Let's take cricket for example. Here's a list of bans handed down over the years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cricketers_banned_for_corruption
I think a more serious indepth investigation would need to take place, and out of AFL hands as they can't be trusted to handle it.Would the punishment be the same if the multi got up? Serious question.
