Pendlebury for most possessions is the whisper.

Rules are rules, and he broke them. If there is any truth to the fact he bet in a game he was playing in he is in serious trouble.

How much brain power does it take to give your best non-footy mate a sly $50 to go put the bet on for you on the down low? Who would ever possibly find that out short of that bloke doing the unthinkable and lagging to the authorities?

It must be going on all the time.

He must be a silly mofo that Stephenson, why would you put your well paying career in jeopardy with such a numb brain act from your own account.

The very highest height of stupidity.

An organisation which rams gambling down peoples’ throats will reap what it sows.

I don't know why I am constantly surprised by the lack of intelligence shown by some footballers sometimes. Should be used to it by now. 

What do these players do at team meetings? Switch their brains off? Surely the clubs drum into the players what is right and what is wrong. Ignorance cannot be used as an excuse.

Stupidity or a case of gambling’s hold on society? 

Even if not on the entire society, certainly the gambling industry has the AFL by the balls.

I find it difficult to watch games when their advertisements are rammed down your throat at every opportunity 

Just waiting  for Gill’s hypocritical “we don’t support gambling” spin / statement.

I am sure he would be the beneficiary of some Christian charity though I doubt it will be within his jurisdiction.  And please remind me for whom did the MRO play?

Had a bet on his defender trailing five metres behind on the first lead of the game. Not sure why you'd bother at $1.10.

Clearly cheating and conspiring to change the course of a game. 4 points awarded to Melbourne and Collingwood team fined.

That would stop it happening again.

.....but they will be hit with a piece of wet spaghetti, as usual. Meanwhile if anyone says anything, they will be removed from the ground.

Did he back himself to kick 100 behinds in the 1stQ against us? If so, he's cleaned up!

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.

First thing that came to mind when i the story broke on SEN. i reckon he had himself down for a certain amount of goals for the game.

Greedy so and so.

Pretty easy to break down really, forward likes kicking goals, simple to extrapolate.

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
