I hope it's true but it does sound odd.

It's true

 

[Kirby]

It's true

 

[Hyakutake]

Wow. Loophole working in our favour. I'm stoked

Suspended for 10 AFL matches....sentence completed after final siren Friday night

I just want to see glorious BigFooty melts.

I bet the Tigers board goes all Chernobyl.

Nice loophole.

Though I do get the angst from those honking it’s too clever by half. It kind of is a bit sneaky.

But thems the rules.

Had it been VFL in bye week (the bye everyone gets before finals) then that’s absolutely fair enough.

Now that it’s all done, in reality he did MISS 10 AFL Games so he has missed plenty and this is a fitness match play run.

Too late.

He’ll play VFL.

They probaby come here and Troll YET AGAIN

Too late.

Well the AFL seems to change things for the Sake of it so I belive it when he/if runs out Saturday

I hope it's true but it does sound odd.

I thought it sounded odd too, and when that is the case, go to the rule (19.4.4(a)), which states:

...a Player or Official suspended by a Controlling Body is, for the period of the suspension, or while the suspension remains unserved, prohibited from playing or participating in a Match conducted by the Controlling Body imposing the suspension

One reading of that is that the period of suspension of 10 games ends Friday night. And it does!

The Kid plays!

Fixture quirk allows banned Pie to make surprise VFL return

Jaidyn Stephenson will play in Collingwood's VFL game on Saturday, just hours after missing his 10th AFL match for betting on games

[sideswipe]

Kinda funny he is making his VFL debut.

 

[jimmy35]

Hahaha that’s awesome. Could have worked against us, as quirks often do, but this time it gives him a bit of match fitness before he hits September.

 

[swoop42]

Great news but I must admit the first thought that entered my mind upon hearing it was "s**t, just a further opportunity to get injured 2 weeks before finals".

It's how we've become conditioned as Collingwood supporters I guess.

Suspended for 10 AFL matches....sentence completed after final siren Friday night

Wouldn't have even been a consideration until after the schedule for the final round was confirmed and we lucked into a Friday night game.

 

[nahnah]

it makes no sense to me but you take what you get in this league, we get disadvantaged by so much bs I'm taking it and running

 

[jimmy35]

Yeah you’d think the suspension would be 10 rounds that your club is involved in, not including any byes, not 10 Collingwood games. Anyway I’m glad it’s worked out for us in this instance.

 

[Vicky Park]

A trip out to Box Hill on Saturday is suddenly beckoning. Also (I assume) will be Goldy's last game for the Pies.

 

[legendstatus]

Makes perfect sense. 10 match suspension. The VFL game on Saturday if he plays would make it 11th game

Just don’t get injured Stevo!

Enough with the ‘loophole’ talk... karma has dealt us good hand and we are playing it... all above board

 

[Saintly Viewed]

And let’s also call it, he’s Saturday run isn’t him playing senior football.

It’s just simple match conditioning seconds.

If we make the GF the sack will find a way to make an appearance, always has
