presser at 3:45pm. Apparently he put a bet on Nick Maxwell to kick the first goal when he started in the foward line I think against Adelaide.

Not sure how much was put on but its a pretty stupid thing to do. Didnt he learn from the car incident a few years ago. You cant get anyway with anything Heath.

Did he get done for substance abuse at the same time? Maxwell to kick the first goal?

Bloody serious this, now I have to bring Chippa into my supercoach side.

Iknow I just did my 2 trades for the round and I have to leave Heath in.

Anyway 14 match suspension and 6 of that he doesnt have to do. So Heath is out for the next 8 matches. That is huge plus a fine. The thing is it was a $10 bet he chipped in some more with some mates because he passed the info on. What an idiot. Well Heath when you are sitting there for the next 8 weeks I hope the $10 bet was worth it. Its not like he won anyway because Nick didnt kick the 1st goal. I guess you can thank your mates to.

Nick Maxwell got just a fine because he actually didnt put a bet on. The thing is though if the coach came to me and said for somehting different im starting you foward instead of back, id go home and say to my family im starting foward, watch me kick 5. I guess he probably didnt think anything of it when he told his family.

Maxwell has been fined $10,000, $5000 of which has been suspended.

The AFL said Maxwell had no knowledge or intent that information about his starting position would be used for betting purposes.

SO WHY IS HE BEING FINED

edit: because maxwell's family put bets on too.

but i didnt know they came under the banner of footballer or club official......

Shaw cops 14 weeks, six suspended, for betting on an AFL game using inside information. Sounds fair enough to me, given the size of the bets ($20). Maybe a few more of the weeks should be active rather than suspended.

Maxwell cops just a fine. Seems like he didn't know the information was being used to lay bets. Again, the fine is $10,000 so to me that's fair enough.

Shaw is an idiot, pure and simple.

A bit of a coincidence isn't it that both of them - independently apparently- either bet or had family members bet on their behalf??

If you believe in the tooth fairy.

I smell a rat......

What a joke this suspended sentence thing is............he should be serving 14 weeks for sheer stupidity!

Missing finals should have been part of the punishment for being an idiot.

And now we get the press conference with Heath claiming how he has a gambling problem, he is going to be undergoing counselling etc etc.

Effectively insider trading as well as betting - all the ethics and intelligence for which Collingwood is famous

It's mind boggling that an AFL player could be that stupid, it's the AFL equivalent of the 'no ball' scandal in cricket recently.

If the AFL are fair dinkum then he's gone for a full season at least

He is Collingwood remember!

If it was Trengove he would be out for 5 years and then sent to GWS.

AA would say we change the rules last week you mean you missed the change!

Agree on Shaw. IMO the jury is out on Maxwell to for providing the information. Did he suggest to family/friend members to put bets on ?

You have to wonder about Maxwell though.

I'm dreaming of a quote from behind closed doors at an office within the Westpac Centre by someone on the line to Adrian Anderson...:

EM - "Give him a fine but go easy he is the Captain of the footy club, it would be an absolute disgrace to this great club and the AFL mind you, if it were known he was indeed a party to these bets !"

AA - "But Ed, the public is not that stupid!.."

EM - "one more word out of you and I'll start up a Super League, now do it !"

What a magnificently bad 24 hours for the Filth.....demon_cool.gif

May it continue unabated. A Shaw suspended for 8 weeks is music to my ears.

I remember Ray Shaw back in the 70's....evil little creature...

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   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
