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

  • Quote

    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

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
