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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
