Jaidyn Stephenson set to be suspended for bet on Pies game

<< < (3/3)

YellowandBlackBlood:
IMHO the penalty should have been X weeks without a suspended sentence. What is the point of a suspended sentence anyway in this situation? If he does it again he should automatically get a much bigger sentence anyway negating the fact that the AFL would need to add his suspended sentence to the penalty. I would have thought if you get caught twice, it should be a life ban anyway..... :whistle

Another dodgy AFL decision  ::).

Stephenson now allowed to play VFL this Saturday because the AFL scheduled Collingwood to play its final H/A AFL game on a Friday night.

Since when if you're suspended at one level are you allowed to play at another level on the same weekend?

Andyy:
Cheating.

He should be suspected for X amount of rounds, not 'AFL specific games'.

This needs to be reversed!

Some in the media have finally caught on.

one-eyed:
Well at least the Pies won't be able to do it again this year. Their VFL team lost and won't be playing finals. So no more VFL matches for their fringe & injured players.
