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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
