    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
