Why would you bother?? He is on a serious contract.

That's exactly what I just said to @Whispering_Jack.

Players always seem to either come back for our games, find lost form, get injured the week after or get dropped for "mysterious" reasons after playing a blinder against us.

Heath Shaw was fined $20,000 and suspended for 8 matches in 2011 for betting $10 on Nick Maxwell kicking the first goal knowing he would be playing in the forward line.

Yes i know. 

They don’t learn. 

Time to get really tough

Tip of a very deep iceberg. 

An organisation which rams gambling down peoples’ throats will reap what it sows.

Did he back himself to kick 100 behinds in the 1stQ against us? If so, he's cleaned up!

 

the stupidity and greed is breath-taking. Obviously $400,000 plus is not enough.

.......and nobody gets caught first time.

I bet he was putting the bet on for a mate....

Very good rjay. What always astounds me is why do they bet themselves. Why not get a mate to do it. However just reminds me that majority of footballers are not rocket scientists.

What was Pendles paying? 

I rather fondly remember Trav Johnstone putting a bet on at at TAB hours before I was about to watch him playing. I figured he thought he was in for a good game and backed us.

I rather liked Pies defender Jack Crisp's "the dog ate my homework" excuse in 2017 when he was caught putting $129 on multi - "he "forgot" players weren't allowed to bet on football". He was only fined $5000 for that.

 

Jump onto the AFL’s official betting partner’s website, Sportsbet, you can bet on how many games he’ll be suspended for. 

Perhaps he was influenced by his surroundings? 

Betting on your captain is far more serious than betting on some other random game.  Both break the rules but the first falls into the 'insider knowledge' category and should be dealt with more harshly.

Just look at those umps, lining up trying to get hot tips from Stephenson. They really are disgraceful.

Stupidity or a case of gambling’s hold on society? 

You could run a book on the AFL having this up their sleeve for when they needed to bluff their way out of a situation like the crowd beef.

Was thinking the same thing. 

Wonder if Eddie's head pop off when he found out?

His kicking for goal was pretty suss against us, ban him for a season.

First thing that came to mind when i the story broke on SEN. i reckon he had himself down for a certain amount of goals for the game.

Greedy so and so.
