"DEAN WALLIS penalty in my book equates to one week for illegal betting and 13 weeks for punching Brad Green in throat in 2000 Grand Final"

    It beggars belief that AFL employed people wagger on the footy.

    After all the publicity of recent times Why?

    I know Gambling can be a serious problem for people but

    - Why would do it yourself, He was dobbed in intially by someone who saw him at a TAB

    - There are a million things to bet on besides AFL football.

    Dumb, Dumb, Dumb

    Should have been 14 years but I guess the AFL set a precedent with Heath Shaw and I imagine if it was years as it should be then Wallis could sue the AFL for loss of livelihood or similar.

    I think it's pretty weak, considering 3 bets, no even half decent contrived excuse, and one was on his own team!

    When you compare it to Heath Shaw, it's miniscule.

    As a coach, he can still coach during the week, just not on game day.

    A fair inconvenience, but it's not much of a suspension.

    How stupid is this guy. Firstly he walks into a TAB probably in his bendigo bombers gear and places the bets on. Dumb to start with. The he bets on his own team. Then he lies to the AFL and says it was for a friend and the bet wasnt on a bombers game. He then keeps on lying to the AFL until they keep questioning him and he buckles and says it wasnt for a friend and I did bet on a bombers game.

    Seriously and I thought Heath Shaw was stupid.

    Karma for the 2000 grand final. He was an absolute **** the way he went out to put Green out of the game and in to a hospital as soon as he could.

    I wish nothing but more embarrasment for the man in the future.

    Couldn't have happened to a more deserving thug.

    Did anyone see the start of ch10 news. Dean said he wasnt aware of the rules about betting. Duh when there are guidelines given to you and to all coaches and support staff and were you living under a rock when Heath Shaw got suspended.

    Seriously I know I wrote it earlier but you are dumb

    Bit of a laugh hearing Adrian Anderson talking about looking after the integrity of the AFL when they create an uneven playing field over GWS concessions.

    hahaha failed to co-operate with investigation. and then says he doesnt know the rules. hahahaha lowest of the low. akin to a kid lying when they know they have broken the rules.

    btw, 14 weeks is a joke. thats the same as shaw and he even bet on essendon. should be out for a year on that scale.

    Good one 'Striker'. You are right. i think Wallis told the tribunal he was retiring thus no further action. Then he makes a comeback.Perfect poetic justice here.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
