    3 games, 3 unsuccessful bets totalling $36?? Not sure why everyone thinks hes so lucky. Thin end of the wedge I guess.

    Does anyone think he actually self reported? 

    One bet could be a brain fade.  Multiple bets on 3 games over a 6 week period?  Self-reporting is probably window dressing to 'justify' the discount from 22 weeks to 10.

    Agree with dc that horse has long bolted. The AFL sold their soul to the devil a decade ago.

    "self reported" = "the club found out the story was coming and after sh*tting themselves, ordered Stephenson to self-report to try to get out in front of the story"

    Yet the  22 week ban was reduced to 10.

    If the AFL want to stamp this out, they should have ruled out finals too. but Mr Man of Steel McLachlan sends out another message signalling prevarication and lenience.

    "Son, you've embarrassed yourself, your club, and the league, and worst of all, you've put the league into match fixing territory. It's as serious as it gets. We need to send a strong message. Really, you should be out for the rest of this year. But gee ... that'd be a bit rough! Oh, go on .... play your finals! (ruffles hair) Ha ha, fine boy, that."

    A better punishment would have been, play up to & including round 23 and THEN you're suspended!

    But of course that might affect attendances which is the only thing that keeps Gil up at night.

    12 Month Minimum Ban is what it should be.

    One thing I don't understand is the process. The AFL's statement seems to suggest that the AFL itself made the decision. Does that mean (1) the Commission, (2) the CEO or someone who reports to him, such as Andrew Dillon or (3) something else? Surely for an offence like this the AFL's integrity department should collect the evidence and then present it to an independent third party, such as the AFL Tribunal, to make a decision on guilt as well as penalty. And the accused player should also have an opportunity to present his case to the Tribunal. I don't like the AFL taking on the combined roles of investigator, judge and jury.

    And then .... they sit down with Collingwood to work out the penalty!

    AFL ... should be called MIUOTR ... Making It Up On The Run

    I think there's a spelling mistake in your post. You meant "mucking it up..." didn't you?

    Never thought I'd say it but the AFL have set the penalty too high this time.

    Cannot hep but think that it is an inverse reaction to their reliance on the gambling dollar.

    Match fixing in cricket and tennis which is a million shades worse only gets you one to two years.

    Someone at Collingwood would have gotten wind of it and told him to self report before someone else reported it. Standard damage control tactic. 

    The penalty to this is ridiculously lenient. Given that he bet on himself and his own team, he should be rubbed out for two years. His Collingwood teammate Josh Thomas should be totally bewildered.

    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.

    Maybe he thought it was a roulette wheel?

    Otherwise??  Long gone, horse bolted.

    And the AFL's dependency on gambling advertising is just the tip of the iceberg.

    Pot .... kettle .... black!

    Being available for finals is outrageous.  When I first read the headline I though it was the whole season, which is swift and appropriate action.  Being available to play finals for a top 4 team is completely unjust and sends the wrong message.

    Cricket is a year round sport at the top level , so that means that 2 years is about 100 weeks. Betting on himself in the AFL Stephenson only gets 10 weeks, I say that is light on.

    It's a short way off

    spot betting .. for instance that the next ball is a wide and you as the player determine the result is so so different but I will leave others to judge.

    This is the AFL playing tough on one hand while supping at the ever growing sports betting trough

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
