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......

"AFL footballers are banned from gambling on football as are AFL and club officials."

Thats why you gotta tweak your team just prior to the bounce for Friday night footy.

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!

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...

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
