Pendlebury for most possessions is the whisper.

 

Rules are rules, and he broke them. If there is any truth to the fact he bet in a game he was playing in he is in serious trouble.

 

 


Bet was 5x the size of heath shaw’s outlay on his skipper scoring first goal in a game eight years ago

So, by rights, he should cop a $100k fine and be suspended by 40 weeks

How much brain power does it take to give your best non-footy mate a sly $50 to go put the bet on for you on the down low? Who would ever possibly find that out short of that bloke doing the unthinkable and lagging to the authorities?

It must be going on all the time.

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

Beames.

He must be a silly mofo that Stephenson, why would you put your well paying career in jeopardy with such a numb brain act from your own account.

The very highest height of stupidity.

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

All Good if he bet on a Dees Loss 

Smart very smart!!

I don't know why I am constantly surprised by the lack of intelligence shown by some footballers sometimes. Should be used to it by now. 

What do these players do at team meetings? Switch their brains off? Surely the clubs drum into the players what is right and what is wrong. Ignorance cannot be used as an excuse.

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

Even if not on the entire society, certainly the gambling industry has the AFL by the balls.

I find it difficult to watch games when their advertisements are rammed down your throat at every opportunity 

Just waiting  for Gill’s hypocritical “we don’t support gambling” spin / statement.

I am sure he would be the beneficiary of some Christian charity though I doubt it will be within his jurisdiction.  And please remind me for whom did the MRO play?

Don’t be too hard on the bloke, he was on coke at the time so judgement was impaired


Had a bet on his defender trailing five metres behind on the first lead of the game. Not sure why you'd bother at $1.10.

Clearly cheating and conspiring to change the course of a game. 4 points awarded to Melbourne and Collingwood team fined.

That would stop it happening again.

.....but they will be hit with a piece of wet spaghetti, as usual. Meanwhile if anyone says anything, they will be removed from the ground.

...and anyway i gave up holding the ball like that when i  was five, and as well i started picking up thrown away tote tickets at Caulfield Racecourse at the same age too.....one of which was on Wodalla, i think worth Twelve shillings...

10 matches.  Will miss first final.  Tough lesson for a kid.

Actually 10 will have him conveniently return for the finals

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

Hardly unpredictable.

This guys ball drop during his goal kicking routine is a joke.  He was spinning it round everywhere, jiggling it about and it was didn't suprise or disapoint me at all, when he shaked it all over the place from some pretty simple set shots.  Didn't stop BT and the comentary team from praising him up all over the place as some kind of champion, dispite this obvious flaw in his goal kicking.  Shiiit me to tears with all their Collingwood love crap.

Had this guy been any sort of decient kick the game would have been all over by quarter time for the MFC ... not that it made much difference in the end.

Demonstone my logic was spot on.

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.

Pretty easy to break down really, forward likes kicking goals, simple to extrapolate.

More info:  AFL Statement

Quite a rap sheet:

The multi-bets included legs on:

  • Collingwood to win,
  • Collingwood winning margin,
  • Stephenson to kick a goal,
  • Stephenson to kick three or more goals,
  • Collingwood teammates to kick a goal,
  • Collingwood teammates to kick two or more goals, and
  • Collingwood teammates to have in excess of a number of disposals.

For the grand total of $36 across 3 games!

Unbelievable that he bet on himself!!  That alone warrants the book thrown at him.  Those bets are very open to match-fixing.  Yet the  22 week ban was reduced to 10.   Eddie has been busy to get Stephenson back for finals as @ArtificialWisdompredicted. 

Also gets a $20,000 fine.  Along with losing match payments $36 will cost him $100,000+.

Very silly lad.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
