match fixing is a long way off having a bet on your team

He was betting on himself, the following is a list of declared bets (may not be a complete list)

— Collingwood to win;

— Collingwood winning margin;

— Stephenson to kick a goal;

— Stephenson to kick three or more winning goals;

— Collingwood teammate to kick a goal;

— Collingwood teammate to kick two or more goals;

— Collingwood teammates to have in excess of a number of disposals.

He could easily manipulate outcomes in all of the above.

    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.

    I consider Betting to be a form of Match Fixing, if the Player is Betting on his own Teams (or opposition) Team

    3 Seperate Bets....

    And another thing.

    A suspended sentence is not a penalty. He has been suspended for 10 weeks not 22.

    More AFL spin to make it look harsh. Any fool knows that if you recommit you will get a harsher penalty.

    I do not believe that the list supplied is every bet he has placed on AFL matches. Stephenson runs fast and loose with the truth, for example today he said he does not do any other form of gambling, then almost in panic says" oh other than the odd flutter in the spring carnival"

    10 weeks out of 22 is strange. U could say half suspended which would b 11/11. But it’s like they balked at suspending a pie fr the finals. The pies  have so much clout in the AFL it’s ridiculous... and made more painful by the fact that we have precisely none.

    On this point I disagree. I think the soft penalty would have been handed out to a player of any team considered likely to be playing finals. 

    It just so happens when Heath Shaw was suspended, he, too, was miraculously only suspended up until the finals. (Yes, I know he was at Collingwood then, too.)

    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.

    Well outside 50... wonder if the team rule is to put it to the top of the square or to have a ping..?

    But the AFL 'official' word is that no bets were successful...???

    They must realise that someone would research his games and match them to his bets. 

    AFL never cease to amaze on how gullible they assume people to be.

    Even though they're 50 points up I bet, pardon the pun, that the team rule isn't to have a ping from that distance. I'm sure Bucks wouldn't have been happy had he missed despite the score and time left.

    Not surprising. If they were, then maybe the Pies could be accused of match fixing. That could affect their gaming licence.

    One of the reasons we were found guilty of not tanking not guilty of tanking was that we could then have our gaming licence taken away, and possibly liquor licence too.

    AFL is going to do everything to protect its clubs, and itself, from that.

    I remember back around 2008. A friend of mine knew Shane Crawford, he told him that Stuart Dew was named on the bench but starting forward. All the Hawks players piled onto Dew for first goal and of course he kicked the first goal, I remember at the time thinking “gees their carrying on for the first goal of a game” later that weekend found about it all, paid for their footy trip.

    Goes to explain some of the over the top wild celebrations to a first goal kicked seen in many matches. I am sure we all have seen plenty.

    And if Pendlebury  or Moore or someone runs in and delivers a no ball then we'll really know something is up!

    The strangely (and perhaps inappropriately) named AFL Integrity Office deemed that this was to be the case.

    I wonder if anyone at AFL HQ has ever done an enquiry into the integrity of the Integrity Office.

    I am not a gambling person, but I would be willing to bet $50 that he broke the standard team rules.  Where can I place that bet?

    The Integrity Office is like the Homicide Squad or the Vice Squad. They're to ensure there isn't any, or at least to find and punish those who commit the heinous act.

    Betting advertising is certainly overdone, but let’s not use that to shield Stephenson from what was an act of unbelievable stupidity.

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
