[GWW]

8 games. Thats incredibly lenient.

[tigerpie]

agreed.should have been suspended for the rest of the year imo.

[Media Park]

If it was not a Collingwood player, I don't think they would have returned for finals.

So Goldsacks Mum is in the clear for her $5 bet on GF day because she didnt get any info from her son.

Gee this is going to be easy to police.

No, that's what is called an over reaction.

No, that's what is called an over reaction.

Love the comment in todays paper that a player like Fevola who has been in debt and a compulsive gambler could have been offered the chance to wipe out his debt by not kicking any goals in a game.AFL isnt fair dinkum,happy to earn money from from corporate bookies and tab.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Does Fev know that? He kicked 11 on the weekend. GWS might be calling.

The betting option that really leaves itself open to manipulation more than the vast majority is "Most Disposals". While it still takes a reasonable level of collusion for it to be manipulated, not at all hard for a player to keep zoning toward uncontested situations to get quick handballs, chip kicks etc after feeding off a teammate. Would be surprised if this option wasn't looked at over time as one that can be influenced more easily than many.

So Demetrio says Goldsacks situation is different from Maxwells because he was only 'joking' and saying it in jest to his mum. This is comical stuff, why didnt Maxwell just say he was joking?

I think because Goldsacks game was a GF and there was that much money and it didnt shorten that no one ever knew until Goldsack told teammates about his mums bet.

TAB Sportsbet must have carped them selves when someone put $105 (total bets) on Maxwell to kick first goal in a minor round game....pathetic.... sh1t ....lets look at footage and all the people who put this on and find out who they are.... what a joke

Most possies would be pretty hard to manipulate when you actually have to try, its the easier ones of deliberatly losing that wories me. eg Pakistan cricket side

This situation would have happened 1000 times across the country in the last year where a player has mentioned something to a mate, family ect. We have heard of it twice.

Pathetic AFL

Great article by akermanis on this topic! For once I agree and thought his article was great

Reports that the AFL invited Collingwood to have an input into what penalty Shaw should receive. If true, what a bizarre state of affairs.
