Heath Shaw Suspension?

[Voice]

how can you say Shaw was harshly delt with when he bet $10 and Goodwin bet $16,024.58 ?

Your an idiot

What a load of carp the whole thing is.

Imagine in the racing industry if they did this to an owner who layed his horse on betfair or a trainer told his family member that a horse would win.

get a grip people

Shaw bet on his own club. Princess Goodwin didn't. Much bigger issue when it involves your club.
Hypothetical.......Shaw running in to goal but hands off to Maxwell just because the thought entered his mind for a split second about the bet he just laid. Maxwell gets tackled and Crows take it the length of the field and goal. Crows end up winning by 5 points but the result is tainted as 8 weeks later this news comes out. Makes for a nasty set of circumstances, yes?

Re the Nick maxwell penalty

Hypothetically if say Travis Clokes dad has $1000 on him every week to kick the 1st goal and then Travis comes home and tells dad he's playing full back so dont have a bet on me would it be the same penalty? The Maxwell penalty is a joke

Only way to fix this problem is to make clubs line up as published, would be great for all supercoaches.
If the AFL is going to accept sponsorship from betting agencies this really needs to happen to give all punters a fair crack

So you want players to be able to bet on games NFI some people. Support the Pakistani cricket team, do we?
And if your problem is the amount of the bet, where should the cut off be?

$101 INTO $26
Maxwell was a big shawtener

[NO-MERCY]

What did Goodwin get when he was caught out?

[The Sleeping Giant]

$40000 fine, counseling, no games though. $16500 worth of bets on 4 games.

[Adelaide Hawk]

I can't see how the size of the bet is relevant.

Of course it's relevant. It's like the time Lillee and Marsh put 5 pounds on the Poms to win when the odds were ridiculous. They did it just to bring home the betting slip as a momento. People think that they threw the game. Marshy put it all in perspective when he said, "If we were really going to throw the game, don't you think we would have put more than 5 pounds on it?".

$10 is a nothing bet. As I said earlier, I get the feeling there is more to the story than they are letting told.

[Media Park]

he was going to stand Betts tomorrow also...

That is the best of all the terrible humour on this thread Dutchy!

Regardless of what we all think about the AFL and good old princess goodwin, at the end of the day he knew what he was doing was wrong, just like when he got on the piss then in his car. He knew what he was doing, he just seems to be a bit ******* stupid really. Seriously this bloke is as dumb as the old fella really. God you think he could have made a online account under his mates name or something like that.

The size of the bet is completely relevant, what if it was $10 at 1000/1?

All of a sudden he stands to win $10,000 in a game he can have an influence on.

The rules are quite clear, dont bet. How can you be so dumb not to do it?

He is very lucky he gets to play again this year.

I think Malthouse would be more upset that they have been discussing tactics outside the footy club than losing him for 8 weeks.

[woodublieve12]

the guys an idiot! knew the rules, broke them. so get off!!!

[tigerpie]

love him as a player but SERIOUSLY........dumb as a squid. i'm happy with the penalty...bit light on maybe?

I think the squid community will be up in arms,arms,arms,arms with that deeply offensive comment

[Mr66]

Squids are pretty smart animals. I've watched enough National Geographic to know that.

Well said. That is pathetic AFL.

Whats next... players have to sign a code of secrecy that they cannot tell ANYONE what position they are playing this week..... what a load of carp!

[tigerpie]

get rid of exotic betting..its a recipe for disaster and will always attract the greedy,seedy element of gambling. bet on the result...thats fine with me...even b.o.g. but the rest...nah!!!! leave it to the subcontinents corrupt cricket bookies.

oh and the squid thing......ever seen them get hooked on ya squid jig, get off, and then return only to get hooked for keeps?....mmmm dinner!!! thats pretty dumb. No offence to all the squids.
