He'd have been ok if the prize was a botte of grange

Seriously though, at what point does the commission give Dillon the boot?

If he was a politician, there'd be several no confidence votes already.
NSW Premier resigned over getting a bottle of Grange

AFL statement on Jaidyn Stephenson's suspension - https://www.afl.com.au/news/134044

AFL General Counsel Andrew Dillon said Stephenson's action were a clear breach of the AFL rules.

"We have very clear rules about betting on football. If you breach the regulations, you will be penalised. Jaidyn's actions have compromised the integrity of the game. He knew the rules but chose not to adhere to them," Mr Dillon said
...
""There is no clearer instruction - AFL players, club and league officials are banned from betting on the Australian Rules Football in any form." "
 

Its simple, Andrew Dillon broke the rules and could actively have a hand in manipulating outcomes such as a draw to help provide the desired results. He should resign. Andy D was an incredibly shit administrator with his bias but at least he was competent. Dillon just seems to be a stop gap mercy hire as no one else wanted the job internally. He has been shit, he is turning the AFL back in time to its 1980s amateur hour best. He has no vision for the game other than to PR his way around like a stumbling fool.

On a side note

Who the living **** is advising players to self report? The AFLPA needs to send a message to players it is not in your interest.

At no stage has the AFL aside from a side sentence in its punishment PR has shown any indication that self reporting plays any part in the final outcome of the punishment. If its not a crime, dont self report! its that ****ing simple. You will get screwed because the AFL only cares about optics. The player is not and never will be protected by the AFL on these kind of matters. PR will always win out.

Do not self report. Make the amateur corrupt ****ers in AFL house do their ****ing jobs, dont do it for them. It achieves nothing.

Or if you get caught, just say you were trading in bottles of Grange, so it's all ok.

Spoke incredibly well on The Front Bar. Backed the club and Rankine in completely. And just all in all football gun.
Hopefully he is giving Shuttleworth advice too...
 
I hope Andrew Dillon’s incident is spread all over social media.
It won't be because it's not related to racism, sexism, homophobia or gender. The masses love screaming at each other about these things.

Gambling gets some discussion, but disappears pretty quickly.

pretty much, unless their is a victim people can feign outrage and offense on behalf of then the subject matter will die really quick. Its probably already got more news than you would expect.
 
Nick Foot is employed by Sportsbet. This week he is umpiring Fremantle vs Gold Coast

But of course it's not a conflict of interest or an integrity issue because he works on horse racing :rolleyes:
This is unbelievable. Media should be crucifying them. The AFL is a rabble .

Can you imagine having him around the club? He would be incredibly reassuring calming. If you were a bit nervous he'd be there and I think your anxiety would quickly dissappear.
