Wow. Impressive actions post the incident.

When I saw the title I thought, here we go, Daniel Ward version 2.

40+ players on the list, some are going to make mistakes. It's how they handle the aftermath, and also how many times they repeat mistakes.

Maybe I am missing something but if he placed a bet for someone else and was to be repaid for the bet then all he has done is allow his account to be used. He would not have been betting, he was the agent of another.

Given that and volunteering the information, the fine was pretty severe in my opinion.

Not calling Maric a liar, but anyone could use this excuse. I'm sure the AFL code of conduct which he breached stipulates it is a breach just to have your betting account used to bet on AFL games.

I know he's a bit wet behind the ears...but jeez, how many times would they have it drummed into them that 'under no circumstances' can they bet on AFL football??

Seriously, how hard is it??

He would've had to have known that betting on AFL, in an account under his name would come back to bite him in the ass..

It's a pretty minor thing tbh, but bloody hell, how hard is it?? Dumkopf!! :wacko:

So why would he use his own account if he knew it was wrong?

Would be easy to ask someone to do it for him.

Clearly he didn't know, he made a mistake, he owned up (could've easily let it go unnoticed), good on him.

But you're right, anyone can use that excuse, that won't get them off either.

Why on earth would a 19/20 year old have a betting account !! For Chrissakes get a life.

May as well just light up $100 notes and burn them up.

Gambling is a mugs game - if Addam wants to make money go & buy sghares in Crown Casino or Tattersals

That's right nobody has ever lost everything on shares have they Cranky!!

I agree that it's a storm in a teacup already.....

It is.

However Maric was dumb to place a bet for a mate on AFL (That's naive). I dont like the concept of 19/20 years olds with gambling accounts. And I dont like the concept of sportman wagering any money on outcomes of games they are either involved in or are associated with.

Hopefully Maric learns a lesson. Move on time.

'fess up that you did the wrong thing ( pretty minor at that ) and only as a convenience for a mate, and you get copped for $5000!!

Take drugs TWICE and you can still remain an AFL player !!- get real AFL , the fine of $5000 is totally out of proportion for a self-confessed - with no personal gain -'çrime'

I note the Players association also see it as heavy handed. Every other footballer found guilty had part of their penalty suspended and it usually involved greater amounts of betting.

I also note that this is the same amount players are fined if they drink and drive and assault people. I would have thought these matters are far more serious than a small bet and especially when the player volunteered the offence as well.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
