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.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?
