"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.
