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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
