Jaidyn Stephenson set to be suspended for bet on Pies game
WilliamPowell:
He should get 12 weeks for pure stupidity
With all the education they get on this sort of stuff this is beyond stupid :banghead
Anyways.....
Reckon he will cop a decent whack in part because they are reporting he got a mate to place the bet on his behalf
No sympathy for him, none what so ever
1965:
22 weeks. (12 suspended)
:thumbsup

And a $20k fine. He is also barred from VFL games.

The AFL has today suspended Collingwood's Jaidyn Stephenson for 22 matches, with 12 matches to be suspended, and fined him $20,000 for breaching the AFL's rules related to betting on AFL matches.
The 12-match suspended sanction will apply for the remainder of Stephenson's career.
Stephenson will still be allowed to train with Collingwood but won't be able to play in their next 10 matches. He will not be able to play in Collingwood's VFL team during this time.
Stephenson placed three same game multi-bets in three separate matches this season in which he played. The bet stakes totalled $36.
The matches in question were against the Western Bulldogs in round four, Essendon in round six and St Kilda in round nine.
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.
On two occasions Stephenson gave cash to a friend to place the bets for him, on one occasion he used the friend's betting account. All bets were unsuccessful.

With the no playing VFL during the 10 week suspension period although he will be available for finals there will be no opportunity for match fitness. Complete brain fade from the young man although hopefully this will prevent more serious issues arising from gambling addiction surfacing in later years.

Staggeringly stupid! No wonder he plays for Collingwood! :lol
